Bustamante A, et al. – In order to predict stroke–associated infections, the usefulness of sepsis biomarkers was inspected. Both mid–regional pro–adrenomedullin (MR–proADM) and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) were raised in patients with infections throughout the first week after stroke. In this study, results were especially relevant for MR–proADM given its early elevation. This would allow early preventive interventions.
