C-reactive protein and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio as predictors of mortality in coronavirus disease 2019.
This study investigates whether C-reactive protein, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio could be useful to predict mortality in COVID-19. ⋯ Our results showed that neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and C-reactive protein are significantly higher in patients leading to death and could be effective biomarkers in predicting COVID-19 fatality. Furthermore, C-reactive protein could be used as an independent biomarker to predict death in patients with COVID-19, regardless of gender and age (p=0.000).
