Plasma proadrenomedullin (proADM) is a promising biomarker to predict disease severity in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Urinary biomarkers offer advantages over blood, including ease of collection. We evaluated the association between urinary proADM and disease severity in pediatric CAP. We performed a prospective cohort study of children 3 months to 18 years with CAP. Urinary proADM/creatinine (Cr) was calculated. Disease severity was defined as: mild (discharged home), mild-moderate (hospitalized but not moderate-severe or severe), moderate-severe (e.g., hospitalized with supplemental oxygen, complicated pneumonia), and severe (e.g., vasopressors, invasive ventilation). Outcomes were examined using logistic regression within the cohort with suspected CAP and in a subset with radiographic CAP. Of the 427 children included, higher proADM/Cr was associated with increased odds of severe disease compared with non-severe disease (suspected CAP, odds ratio (OR) 1.02 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.003, 1.04]; radiographic CAP, OR 1.03 [95% CI 1.01, 1.06]) when adjusted for other covariates. ProADM/Cr had an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.56 (threshold 0.9 pmol/mg) to differentiate severe from non-severe disease in suspected CAP and 0.65 in radiographic CAP (threshold 0.82 pmol/mg). Healthy controls had less proADM in their urine (median, 0.61 pmol/mg) compared with suspected (0.87 pmol/mg, p=0.018) and radiographic (0.73 pmol/mg, p=0.016) CAP. Urinary proADM/Cr ratio measured at the time of ED visit was statistically associated with development of severe outcomes in children with CAP, with stronger discriminatory performance in radiographic disease.
