C-reactive protein-to-serum albumin ratio as a marker of prognosis in adult intensive care population.

Background: Patients in intensive care unit (ICU) require close follow up and clinical attention due to variability in the course of their underlying morbidities. The estimation of prognosis in these subjects has an utmost importance. Recent studies showed that C-reactive protein-to-serum albumin ratio (CAR) could be a reliable marker of inflammation in certain conditions.

Multi-inflammatory Index as a Novel Mortality Predictor in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients.

Aim: Systemic inflammation has a crucial role in the pathogenesis and mortality of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
