Introduction: COVID-19 is a disease characterized by high in-hospital mortality, which seems to be dependent on many predisposing factors.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical symptoms, abnormalities in the results of laboratory tests, and coexisting chronic diseases that independently affected the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19.
Patients And Methods: We analyzed the records of patients with COVID-19 who were hospitalized from 6 March 2020 to 30 November 2021.
Unlabelled: The six-minute-walking test (6MWT) is an easy-to-perform, cheap and valuable tool to assess the physical performance of patients. It has been used as one of the endpoints in many clinical trials investigating treatment efficacy in pulmonary arterial hypertension and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. However, the utility of 6MWT in patients diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is still under investigation.

Article Synopsis
- * Accurate diagnosis of underlying diseases, particularly autoimmune conditions, is critical, and serological testing should be routinely conducted.
- * For treatment, nintedanib is favored over pirfenidone for underlying diseases not responding to standard therapies, and simultaneous use of immunomodulatory and antifibrotic drugs is permissible, with a focus on holistic care including non-pharmacological approaches and eligibility for lung transplantation.
