Circulating activated neutrophils in COVID-19: An independent predictor for mechanical ventilation and death

Circulating activated neutrophils in COVID-19: An independent predictor for mechanical ventilation and death

Objectives: Critical illness in COVID-19 is attributed to an exaggerated host immune response. Since neutrophils are the major component of innate immunity, we hypothesize that the quantum of activated neutrophils in the blood may predict an adverse outcome. Design: In a retrospective study of 300 a...
