Abstract
Background: Critically ill COVID-19 patients are usually subjected to clinical, laboratory, and radiological diagnostic procedures resulting in numerous findings. Utilizing these findings as indicators for disease progression or outcome prediction is particularly intriguing.
Objectives: Exploring the significance of dynamic changes in haematological and biochemical parameters in predicting the mortality of critically ill COVID-19 patients.
Methods: The present study was a prospective and observational study involving mechanically ventilated 75 critically ill adult COVID-19 patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure. The collected data included baseline patient characteristics, treatment options, outcome, and laboratory findings at admission and 7 days after. The dynamics of the obtained findings were compared between survivors and non-survivors.
Results: The 28-day survival rate was 61.3%. In the group of non-survivors significant dynamic changes were found for C-reactive protein (p= 0.001), interleukin-6 (p< 0.001), lymphocyte (p= 0.003), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (p= 0.003), platelets (p< 0.001), haemoglobin (p< 0.001), iron (p= 0.012), and total iron-binding capacity (p< 0.001). Statistically significant changes over time were found for ferritin (p= 0.010), D-dimer (p< 0.001), hs-troponin T (p< 0.002), lactate dehydrogenase (p= 0.001), glucose (p= 0.023), unsaturated iron-binding capacity (p= 0.008), and vitamin D (p< 0.001).
Conclusion: The dynamic changes in inflammatory, haematological and biochemical parameters can predict disease severity, and outcome.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
