This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Systemic inflammation in critically ill patients can lead to serious consequences such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a condition characterized by the presence of lung inflammation, edema, and impaired gas exchange, associated with poor survival. Understanding molecular pathobiology is essential to improve critical care of these patients. To this end, we use multimodal profiles of SARS-CoV-2 infected hospitalized participants to the Biobanque Quebecoise de la COVID-19 (BQC-19) to characterize endophenotypes associated with different degrees of disease severity. Proteomic, metabolomic, and genomic characterization supported a role for neutrophil-associated procoagulant activity in severe COVID-19 ARDS that is inversely correlated with sphinghosine-1 phosphate plasma levels. Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) and SH2-containing transforming protein 4 (SHC4) signaling were identified as molecular features associated with endophenotype 6 (EP6). Mechanical ventilation in EP6 was associated with alterations in lipoprotein metabolism. These findings help define the molecular mechanisms related to specific severe outcomes, that can be used to identify early unfavorable clinical trajectories and treatable traits to improve the survival of critically ill patients.
