Abstract
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Iran has led to a lack of intensive care unit (ICU) facilities. This study examines C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and troponin in ICU patients with COVID-19 in comparison to COVID-19 patients admitted to the wards in Iran.
Materials and methods: In a case-control study, troponin, CRP, ESR, and D-dimer were compared in the case samples of 109 COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU, and in the control group, 140 COVID-19 patients admitted to the wards.
Results: The mean of CRP (P < 0.001) and D-dimer (P < 0.001) was higher, whereas troponin (P < 0.001) was lower in patients admitted to the ICU, but no significant difference was observed between the values of ESR (P = 0.292) in the two groups.
Conclusion: This study showed that the values of CRP and D-dimer were higher in patients admitted to the ICU, but no significant difference was observed between the values of ESR in the two groups.
