Abstract

; and lower lymphocyte count (p = 0.003), albumin (p < 0.001) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p = 0.003). In the older group, CRT showed that the best predictor of mortality was the chest Computed Tomography Total Severity Score, with those with a score over 12 having 85.2% mortality. Conclusions .
