Brief Summary:
Short description of the protocol intended for the lay public. Include a brief statement of the study hypothesis (Limit : 5000 characters) The management of critically-ill patients with organ failure due to COVID-19 represents a major healthcare burden. While endothelial inflammation has been reported in these patients, the pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated.
Detailed Description:
Extended description of the protocol, including more technical information (as compared to the Brief Summary) if desired. Do not include the entire protocol; do not duplicate information recorded in other data elements, such as eligibility criteria or outcome measures. (Limit : 32 000 characters)
The soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (SFlt1) is the soluble form of VEGF-A receptor 1 (VEGFR1). By linking VEGF-A with a high affinity, sFlt1 blocks the VEGF-A / VEFR1 axis and impairs endothelial homeostasis. Its production increases during inflammation. We hypothesize that sFlt1 is upregulated and correlates with endothelial dysfunction and outcomes in critically-ill patients with COVID-19.
