Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) with sepsis leads to over 350 thousand intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in the USA annually, with an in-hospital mortality of 17% and a one-year mortality of nearly 50% 1. There is an unmet need to disentangle the molecular processes that determine disease severity and drive adverse outcomes2. The NHLBI has called for the use of biologic “omic” profiles to develop relevant “risk-omes” for pneumonia to understand the pathobiology of host susceptibility to severe disease3. Backward translation, including multiple “omics” analyses, during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic led directly to effective therapeutic strategies. Specifically, lipidomic approaches identified numerous circulating lipids that correlate to disease severity and provided insight into host response to infection4. Despite the success of this approach in COVID, it remains relatively under evaluated in severe CAP5. Here, Chouchane and colleagues present a comprehensive, untargeted, plasma lipidomic evaluation of over 150 patients with critical illness due to CAP6. The goal was to add to our understanding of sepsis pathophysiology by interrogating how lipids can differentiate risk and how they change over the course of divergent clinical trajectories. More directly, they sought to create a lipidomic map to guide us from the bedside to the bench.The investigators performed high resolution mass spectrometry-based lipidomic analyses on well phenotyped, serial samples from patients with severe CAP enrolled in the Molecular Diagnosis and Risk Stratification of Sepsis (MARS) cohort. Previously measured lipids from two separate external cohorts, the Community Acquired Pneumonia and Sepsis Outcome Diagnostics (CAPSOD5) and the Early Assessment of Renal and Lung Injury (EARLI7) served as validaiton. The patients are representative of those found in high-income country ICUs and those eligible for therapeutic clinical trials in those locations. The primary cohort included infection-negative ICU controls and healthy controls.
