Registration Number

University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators will investigate the relationship between the blood level of SuPAR at admission to the emergency department of the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital, and the outcome of patients after their hospitalization in a short stay unit.

Detailed Description

SuPAR (Soluble urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor) is a non-specific prognostic blood biomarker related to inflammation. An elevated SuPAR value reflects significant chronic inflammation and predicts a risk of negative outcome and even short-term mortality (intra-hospital, 30 days, 90 days). Conversely, a low SuPAR value is a strong indicator of good prognosis and low risk of readmission. It is therefore of interest to know a patient's SuPAR blood level to enable the clinician to decide whether the patient should be admitted or discharged. SuPAR has been shown to be the best prognostic marker associated with the presence and progression of disease and risk of mortality. The use of SuPAR in clinical routine adds significant complementary information to the standard Early Warning Score assessment and to the classical parameters such as CRP, PCT, Lactate, ALT, Bilirubin, and CBC in the pre-admission of acute patients.

Patients admitted to the emergency department will receive their usual management. We will test the added value of the SuPAR assay in the prognosis of patients' outcome at discharge.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Relationship between blood supar levels and patient outcome at dischargeWhen the excepted 150 patients will be included, estimated 6 months

Relation between blood supar levels measured and patient outcome at discharge evaluated as : return home = good evolution; hospitalization = bad evolution; admission to an intensive care unit or death = unfavorable evolution

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cardiac frequencyHour 0

cardiac frequency will be evaluated when the patient arrives in the emergency service as part of the classical management

Respiratory rateHour 0

respiratory rate will be evaluated when the patient arrives in the emergency service as part of the classical management

French triageHour 0

French Emergency Nurses Classification in Hospitals (FRENCH) ranks priorities from 5 to 1 (from least urgent to most urgent) according to prognosis and complexity/severity of the medical condition

National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2)Hour 0

Score allowing the classification of the urgency of a patient. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 20. Higher scores mean a worse outcome

Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS)Hour 0

Score allowing the classification of the urgency of a patient. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 17. Higher scores mean a worse outcome

Blood CRP valueHour 0

the CRP value will be assessed during the blood test performed as part of the classical management when the patient arrives in the emergency room

Blood supar levelsWhen the excepted 150 patients will be included, estimated 6 months

the supar values are classifies into three categories : \< 3 ng/ml : supports the referral decision. the patient's general condition is good and the prognosis is high 3-6 ng/ml : presence of pathologies and comorbidity factors. readmissions and high mortality beyond 6 months \>6 ng/ml : requires special clinical attention, high risk of mortality

TemperatureHour 0

the temperature will be evaluated when the patient arrives in the emergency service as part of the classical management

Systolic blood pressureHour 0

systolic blood pressure will be evaluated when the patient arrives in the emergency service as part of the classical management

Diastolic blood pressureHour 0

diastolic blood pressure will be evaluated when the patient arrives in the emergency service as part of the classical management

Main diagnosis retained by the physicianat the end of hospitalization
