Serum stratifin and presepsin as candidate biomarkers for early detection of COVID-19 disease progression


ABSTRACT: The prognosis of patients with severe cases of COVID-19 is poor; thus, biomarkers for earlier prediction of COVID-19 progression are vital. We measured levels of five lung injury-related biomarkers, SP-D, KL-6, presepsin, kallistatin and stratifin, in serum samples collected serially during hospitalization from 31 patients with mild/moderate or severe/critical COVID-19 pneumonia, and their predictive performances were compared. Like the previously reported presepsin, a new biomarker candidate, stratifin, was significantly elevated with the onset of severe or critical symptoms in COVID-19 patients and decreased with symptom improvement. Notably, changes in stratifin and presepsin levels were distinctly earlier than those in SP-D, KL-6 and even SpO2/FiO2 values. Furthermore, serum levels of these biomarkers were significantly higher at the pre-severe stage (before the start of oxygen support) of patients who eventually advanced to severe/critical stages than in the patients who remained at the mild/moderate stage. These results were confirmed in an independent cohort, including 71 mild/moderate and 14 severe/critical patients, for whom the performance of stratifin and presepsin in discriminating between mild/moderate and pre-severe conditions of COVID-19 patients was superior to that of the SpO2/FiO2 ratio. Therefore, we concluded that stratifin and presepsin could be used as prognostic biomarkers for severe COVID-19 progression.
