    • Plasma bioactive adrenomedullin on intensive care unit admission is associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome: an observational study
    Authors: Patrik, Johnsson; Andrea, Fredriksson; Christer, Tung;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) is a vasoactive peptide with a key role in reducing vascular hyperpermeability and improving endothelial stability during infection, but it also has vasodilatory properties. Bioactive ADM has not been studied in conjunction with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but it has recently been shown to correlate with outcomes after severe COVID-19. Therefore, this study investigated the association between circulating bio-ADM on intensive care unit (ICU) admission and ARDS. The secondary aim was the association between bio-ADM and ARDS mortality.
