Abstract
Elevated level of MR-proADM is significantly associated with both short-term mortality and complications in patients with CAP. Studies also indicate that MR-proADM has prognostic value for prediction of long-term mortality in these patients. The addition of MR-proADM improves the discriminant ability of CURB-65/CRB-65.
