Furthermore, recent clinical studies on sepsis patients upon emergency department (ED) presentation and during intensive care (ICU) treatment using the stable protein surrogate, mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), found that its assessment could accurately identify disease progression in patients with nonsevere clinical signs and symptoms, safely increase outpatient treatment with decreased readmission rates and no subsequent mortalities [4] , and identify patients requiring a rapid administration of antibiotics or triage to the ICU [5] .
