NCT03651635

Brief Summary

This pilot-study will be a prospective, single-centre, observational study including 100 critically ill patients consecutively admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) of the University hospital of Zurich, Switzerland, to assess and validate the use of MR-proADM and the CT-proET1/MR-proADM-ratio as prognostic markers in critically ill patients.

Biospecimen

Retention: SAMPLES WITHOUT DNA

During the process of the study we will collect at most 8 additional blood samples (3ml each). The collection of the blood samples will be paired with routine laboratory checks. All other parameters (health related personal data, comorbidities, values of hemodynamic will be reviewed from the chart or evaluated in line with routine daily investigations.
