- An outbreak of pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus, later named COVID-19, began in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and quickly led to a global pandemic, posing challenges for healthcare providers.
- This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics and inflammatory markers of 235 COVID-19 patients admitted to an Inner-City Hospital in New York City between March and April 2020, particularly focusing on mortality rates and associated risk factors.
- Findings revealed that patients who died had significantly higher D-dimer levels, were generally older, and had higher rates of ICU admission and intubation compared to survivors, highlighting the importance of monitoring these factors for outcome prediction.
