Abstract Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has caused extensive mortality globally; therefore, biomarkers predicting the severity and prognosis of COVID-19 are essential. This study aimed to evaluate the application of presepsin (P-SEP) and thrombomodulin (TM), which are biomarkers of sepsis and endothelial dysfunction, respectively, in the prognosis of COVID-19. Serum P-SEP and TM levels from COVID-19 patients (n = 183) were measured. Disease severity was classified as mild, moderate I, moderate II, or severe based on hemoglobin oxygen saturation and the history of intensive care unit transfer or use of ventilation at admission. Patients in the severe group were further divided into survivors and non-survivors. P-SEP and TM levels were significantly higher in the severe group than those in the mild group, even after adjusting for creatinine values. In addition, TM levels were significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors. Changes in the P-SEP levels at two time points with an interval of 4.1 ± 2.2 days were significantly different between the survivors and non-survivors. In conclusion, TM and continuous P-SEP measurements may be useful for predicting mortality in patients with COVID-19. Moreover, our data indicate that P-SEP and TM values after creatinine adjustment could be independent predictive markers, apart from renal function. |
