Article Synopsis
- The study examines the relationship between various blood biomarkers and respiratory support needs with COVID-19 severity and mortality among 362 adults from April to October 2020.
- Results indicated that the average age of patients was about 56 years, with 14% mortality overall and a notable prevalence of comorbidities like hypertension (35%) and diabetes (31%).
- Higher mortality rates were linked to the need for advanced ventilatory support and were associated with elevated levels of several biomarkers, including CRP and D-dimer, suggesting these factors may help predict outcomes in COVID-19 patients.
