Introduction: Due to the clinical heterogeneity of COVID-19, biomarkers must be used to confirm the disease's diagnosis and determine its prognosis.
Objective: To assess the performance of ferritin as a diagnostic biomarker in cases of suspected diagnosis of COVID-19 in inpatients and as a prognostic biomarker in those with a confirmed diagnosis.
Materials and methods: Multicenter, prospective, observational study conducted in 711 adult patients hospitalized between April and November 2020 in three quaternary care hospitals in Bogotá D.C., Colombia, due to suspected COVID-19. Based on ferritin levels on hospital admission, ROC curves were created for three outcomes: diagnosis, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and death. The operating characteristics of this biomarker were calculated for each outcome, and a multivariate analysis was carried out using a linear regression model to evaluate the association between ferritin levels and each outcome.
Results: COVID-19 diagnosis was confirmed in 592 patients, of whom 160 (27.02%) were admitted to the ICU and 107 (18.07%) died. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) for diagnosis, ICU admission, and death were 0.67 (95%CI: 0.62-0.73), 0.58 (95%CI: 0.57-0.67), and 0.56 (95%CI: 0.50-0.63), respectively. In the bivariate analysis, ferritin levels were significantly associated with diagnosis (p=0.003) and admission to the ICU (p<0.001), but not with mortality (p=0.326). In the multivariate analysis, ferritin was only significantly associated with admission to the ICU (p=0.009).
Conclusions: Ferritin showed poor and moderate performance as a prognostic and a diagnostic biomarker, respectively. Therefore, neither the diagnosis of patients with suspected COVID-19, nor the prognosis of those with a confirmed diagnosis can be determined based only on serum ferritin levels.
Introducción. La COVID-19 es una enfermedad en la que, debido a su heterogeneidad clínica, es necesario usar biomarcadores para confirmar su diagnóstico y establecer su pronóstico.
Objetivo. Evaluar el desempeño de la ferritina como biomarcador de diagnóstico en casos de sospecha diagnóstica de COVID-19 en pacientes hospitalizados y como biomarcador de pronóstico en aquellos con diagnóstico confirmado.
Materiales y métodos. Estudio observacional prospectivo multicéntrico realizado en 711 pacientes adultos hospitalizados entre abril y noviembre de 2020 en tres hospitales de cuarto nivel de Bogotá D.C., Colombia, por sospecha de COVID-19. Con base en los niveles de ferritina al ingreso a hospitalización se construyeron curvas ROC para tres desenlaces: diagnóstico, ingreso a unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) y muerte. Se calcularon las características operativas de este biomarcador para cada desenlace y se realizó un análisis multivariado mediante un modelo de regresión lineal para evaluar la asociación entre los niveles de ferritina y cada desenlace.
Resultados. El diagnóstico de COVID-19 se confirmó en 592 pacientes; de estos, 160 (27.02%) fueron trasladados a UCI y 107 (18.07%) fallecieron. Las áreas bajo la curva ROC (AUC) para diagnóstico, ingreso a UCI y muerte fueron 0.67 (IC95%: 0.62-0.73), 0.58 (IC95%: 0.57-0.67) y 0.56 (IC95%: 0.50-0.63), respectivamente. En el análisis bivariado los niveles de ferritina se asociaron significativamente con diagnóstico (p=0.003) e ingreso a UCI (p<0.001), pero no con mortalidad (p=0.326). En el análisis multivariado la ferritina solo se asoció significativamente con ingreso a UCI (p=0.009).
Conclusiones. La ferritina mostró un desempeño pobre como biomarcador pronóstico y moderado como biomarcador diagnóstico. Por tanto, ni el diagnóstico de los pacientes con sospecha de COVID-19, ni el pronóstico de aquellos con un diagnóstico confirmado pueden determinarse únicamente a partir de los niveles séricos de ferritina.
