Stable-State Midrange-Proadrenomedullin Level Is a Strong Predictor of Mortality in Patients With COPD

MR-proADM measured in the stable state appeared to be a strong predictor of mortality in patients with COPD. MR-proADM is far easier to measure than other predictors of mortality in COPD, such as BMI, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity score.
