ABSTRACT

Introducción. La predicción de bacteriemia en urgencias es importante para la toma de decisiones iniciales. La población mayor un reto diagnóstico. El objetivo fue evaluar la capacidad de la región medial de la pro-adrenomodulina (MR-proADM) para identificar bacteriemia verdadera (BV) en pacientes mayores atendidos en tres servicios de urgencias. Metodología. Estudio observacional incluyendo pacientes ≥75 años atendidos por sospecha de infección en los que se extrajo un hemocultivo (HC). Se recogieron variables sociodemográficas, comorbilidad, hemodinámicas, analíticas y biomarcadores [MR-proADM, procalcitonina (PCT), proteína C reactiva (PCR) y lactato]. La variable de resultado fue un verdadero positivo en el hemocultivo. Resultados. Se incluyeron 109 pacientes con edad media de 83 (DE 5,5) años. En 22 pacientes (20,2%) se obtuvo un diagnóstico final de BV. Las variables independientes para predecirla fueron PCT (OR13,9; IC95%: 2,702-71,703; p=0,002), MR-proADM (OR4,081; IC95%: 1,026-16,225; p=0,046) y temperatura (OR 2,171; IC95%: 1,109-4,248; p=0,024). Considerando el punto de corte con mayor rendimiento diagnóstico para el MR-proADM (2,13 mg/dl), se obtuvo una sensibilidad (Se) de 73%, una especificidad (E) de 71%, un valor predictivo positivo (VPP) de 39%, un valor predictivo negativo (VPN) de 91%, un coeficiente de verosimilitud positivo (LHR+) de 2,53 y un coeficiente de verosimilitud negativo (LHR-) de 0,38; para PCT (0,76 mg/dl) se obtuvo una Se de 90%, E de 65%, VPP de 40%, VPN de 96%, LHR+ 2,64 y un LHR– de 0,14. Al combinar ambos, se observó una Se de 69%, E de 84%, VPP de 52%, VPN de 91%, LHR+ de 4,24 y un LHR- de 0,38. Conclusión. Niveles elevados de PCT y MR-proADM se asocian a un riesgo incrementado de BV y la combinación de ambos mejora la capacidad para identificar estos pacientes. (AU)


Background. The prediction of bacteremia in the emergency department (ER) is important for initial decision-making. The elderly population is a diagnosis challenge. The objective was to evaluate the accuracy of mid regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) to identify true bacteremia (BV) in elderly patients attended in 3 hospital emergency departments. Methods. Observational study including patients ≥75 years of age or older attended in the ER for suspected infection in whom a blood culture (BC) was extracted. Sociodemographic, comorbidity, hemodynamic and analytical variables, biomarkers [MR-proADM, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate] and final diagnosis were collected. The primary outcome was a true positive on a blood culture. Results. A total of 109 patients with a mean age of 83 (SD: 5.5) years were included. A final diagnosis of BV was obtained in 22 patients (20.2%). The independent variables to predict it were PCT (OR: 13.9; CI95%: 2.702-71.703; p=0.002), MR-proADM (OR: 4.081; CI95%: 1.026-16.225; p=0.046) and temperature (OR: 2.171; CI95%: 1.109-4.248; p=0.024). Considering the cut-off point for MR-proADM (2.13 mg/dl), a sensitivity (Se) of 73%, specificity (E) of 71%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 39%, a negative predictive value (NPV) of 91%, a positive likelihood ratio (LHR+) of 2.53 and a negative likelihood ratio (LHR-) of 0.38; for PCT (0.76 mg/dl) a Se of 90%, E of 65%, PPV of 40%, NPV of 96%, LHR+ 2,64 and a LHR- of 0.14 were obtained. When combining both, a Se of 69%, E of 84%, PPV of 52%, NPV of 91%, LHR+ of 4.24 and LHR- of 0.38 were observed. Conclusions. Elevated levels of PCT and MR-proADM were independently associated with an increased risk of BV and the combination of both improves the accuracy to identify these patients. (AU)
