Résumé
Patients who present to an emergency department (ED) with respiratory symptoms are often conservatively triaged in favour of hospitalisation. We sought to determine if an inflammatory biomarker panel that identifies the host response better predicts hospitalisation in order to improve the precision of clinical decision making in the ED. From April 2020 to March 2021, plasma samples of 641 patients with symptoms of respiratory illness were collected from EDs in an international multicentre study: Canada (n=310), Italy (n=131) and Brazil (n=200). Patients were followed prospectively for 28 days. Subgroup analysis was conducted on confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients (n=245). An inflammatory profile was determined using a rapid, 50-min, biomarker panel (RALI-Dx (Rapid Acute Lung Injury Diagnostic)), which measures interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (sTNFR1) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (sTREM1). RALI-Dx biomarkers were significantly elevated in patients who required hospitalisation across all three sites. A machine learning algorithm that was applied to predict hospitalisation using RALI-Dx biomarkers had a mean±sd area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 76±6% (Canada), 84±4% (Italy) and 86±3% (Brazil). Model performance was 82±3% for COVID-19 patients and 87±7% for patients with a confirmed pneumonia diagnosis. The rapid diagnostic biomarker panel accurately identified the need for inpatient care in patients presenting with respiratory symptoms, including COVID-19. The RALI-Dx test is broadly and easily applicable across many jurisdictions, and represents an important diagnostic adjunct to advance ED decision-making protocols.

BACKGROUND
Patients who present to an emergency department (ED) with respiratory symptoms are often conservatively triaged in favour of hospitalisation. We sought to determine if an inflammatory biomarker panel that identifies the host response better predicts hospitalisation in order to improve the precision of clinical decision making in the ED.
METHODS
From April 2020 to March 2021, plasma samples of 641 patients with symptoms of respiratory illness were collected from EDs in an international multicentre study: Canada (n=310), Italy (n=131) and Brazil (n=200). Patients were followed prospectively for 28 days. Subgroup analysis was conducted on confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients (n=245). An inflammatory profile was determined using a rapid, 50-min, biomarker panel (RALI-Dx (Rapid Acute Lung Injury Diagnostic)), which measures interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (sTNFR1) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (sTREM1).
RESULTS
RALI-Dx biomarkers were significantly elevated in patients who required hospitalisation across all three sites. A machine learning algorithm that was applied to predict hospitalisation using RALI-Dx biomarkers had a mean±sd area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 76±6% (Canada), 84±4% (Italy) and 86±3% (Brazil). Model performance was 82±3% for COVID-19 patients and 87±7% for patients with a confirmed pneumonia diagnosis.
CONCLUSIONS
The rapid diagnostic biomarker panel accurately identified the need for inpatient care in patients presenting with respiratory symptoms, including COVID-19. The RALI-Dx test is broadly and easily applicable across many jurisdictions, and represents an important diagnostic adjunct to advance ED decision-making protocols.
