The present study aimed to assess the prognostic accuracy of MR-pro-adrenomedullin (MR-pro-AMD), which has been shown to be a good predictive marker of severity and outcome for CAP, with a comparable accuracy of PSI, and that improves the prognostic accuracy of CURB65 used alone [31,34,36]. The gene discussed is ADM; the disease is age-related macular degeneration.
