- This study aimed to assess whether routine blood tests and clinical factors can help predict in-hospital mortality for COVID-19 patients, analyzing data from 285 individuals admitted between December 2020 and June 2021.
- Researchers found that inflammatory markers, particularly procalcitonin (PCT) and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), were significantly higher in patients who died compared to survivors.
- The results indicated that older patients and those with elevated PCT or NLR levels were at greater risk of death, highlighting the importance of these simple blood tests in identifying high-risk COVID-19 patients.
