Procalcitonin increase in early identification of critically ill patients at high risk of mortality*

Abstract: A high maximum procalcitonin level and a procalcitonin increase for 1 day are early independent predictors of all-cause mortality in a 90-day follow-up period after intensive care unit admission. Mortality risk increases for every day that procalcitonin increases. Levels or increases of C-reactive protein and white blood cell count do not seem to predict mortality.

“…The data from recent studies suggest that some blood markers, e.g. pro-adrenomedullin (proADM) [6][7][8][9][10][11] or procalcitonin (PCT) [12][13][14][15], mirror the severity of infection and enhance clinical risk scores for short-term prognostication. However, less extensive research has been conducted for a better understanding of factors influencing longterm mortality after initial hospitalisation of CAP patients.…”

“…So ergab eine prospektive Kohorten-Studie von 603 Intensivpatienten ein erh ö htes Mortalit ä tsrisiko f ü r Patienten, die mit hohen CRP-Werten von der Intensivstation entlassen wurden [49] . Erh ö hte CRP-Konzentrationen waren weiterhin mit einem erh ö hten Risiko von Organversagen und Mortalit ä t verbunden [47] [20,50,51] . Dar ü ber hinaus erwies sich die Messung des Serum-CRPSpiegels weder am Tag der Sepsisdiagnose noch am Tag der Entlassung von der Intensivstation als guter Prognosemarker [52,53] .…”

In einer Studie an 472 kritisch kranken Intensivpatienten konnten Jensen et al [51] zeigen, dass hohe PCT-Werte und ein PCT-Anstieg von einem Tag fr ü he Indikatoren f ü r Mortalit ä t innerhalb 90 Tage nach Aufnahme auf der Intensivstation waren.

“…Apart from pro-AVP and pro-ADM, other biomarkers have been shown to have a prognostic significance during sepsis, such as procalcitonin [12] or the natriuretic peptides ANP and BNP and their respective cosynthetized peptides pro-ANP and pro-BNP [13,14]. However, only few studies combined different biomarkers to improve their prognostic significance.…”
