Background: Neurological complications have been observed in approximately 30% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether early assessment of the Neurological Pupil Index (NPi) derived from an automated pupillometry could predict mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of adult critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit of a University Hospital; patients without NPi measurement were excluded.
