Opening of the article
Background: There are no standardized prognostic markers available for early detection of critically-ill COVID-19 patients. This study aims to evaluate the co-relation of changes in inflammatory markers and lymphocytes with Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (S OFA) score in predicting disease severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU. Methods: This was a single-center, nonrandomized, observational study. The study included 80 critically-ill COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU from 3 rd August- 2 nd October’ 2020. The core outcome was 28 days mortality in COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU. Results.
