Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the significance of calprotectin levels in predicting the severity of COVID-19, focusing on its role in immune response and inflammation.
- A total of 395 COVID-19 patients were enrolled, with findings showing that higher calprotectin levels correlated with an increased need for invasive mechanical ventilation and ICU admission.
- The results indicate that serum calprotectin is a valuable early predictor for determining the severity of COVID-19 in patients.
