The Role of Inflammatory Markers in Predicting Mortality in Critical COVID-19 Patients: A SingleCenter, Retrospective, Observational Study

Introduction: This study aims to assess the association of inflammatory markers with the clinical progression of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Critically ill patients with COVID-19 were included. Prealbumin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), transferrin, procalcitonin, ferriti...

description Introduction: This study aims to assess the association of inflammatory markers with the clinical progression of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Critically ill patients with COVID-19 were included. Prealbumin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), transferrin, procalcitonin, ferritin, D-dimer, troponin T and C-reactive protein (CRP) were monitored. A comparison was performed between patients regarding their need for mechanical ventilation, duration of hospital and intensive care unit stay, discharge, mortality, complications, and response to treatment in order to reveal potential correlations. Results: A total of 107 patients were enrolled in the study. D-dimer levels on the 3rd and 6th days were significantly higher in the exitus group. Prealbumin and transferrin levels measured at baseline and on days three and six were significantly lower in the exitus group compared to the surviving group (p˂ 0.05). In the exitus group, the procalcitonin, CRP, LDH, troponin T, and ferritin levels were significantly higher on days zero, three, and six as compared to the surviving group (p˂ 0.05). Conclusion: Our results suggest that inflammatory markers may be useful as early indicators of mortality in COVID-19 patients.
