Risk Stratification Using Midregional Proadrenomedullin in the ED
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Emergency departments (ED) are becoming increasingly over-crowded, with patients facing prolonged waiting times. Therefore, a safe and rapid assessment that identifies patients with low severity that could be treated as outpatients is essential for improving the workflow within the ED.
The rationale of this IDEAL+ study is to safely decrease the number of hospital admissions through identification of low risk patients with the biomarker MR-proADM. This will has already been tested in the IDEAL - pilot study and results should be confirmed with this IDEAL+ study.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: standard care arm decision whether a patient will be hospitalized or be treated as out-patient is based on routine clinical assessment and usual protocols |
|
Experimental: MR-proADM guided arm decision whether a patient will be hospitalized or be treated as out-patient is based on routine clinical assessment, usual protocols and MR-proADM levels |
Device: MR-proADM KRYPTOR
MR-proADM ≤ 0.87 nmol/L together with routine clinical evaluation identifies patients with low disease severity who do not need to be hospitalized
