This study analyzed 232 cases to illustrate the clinical characteristics of patients with severe COVID-19 in Wuhan and identify notable markers for early clinical warning. Age, comorbidities, platelet count, albumin, D-dimer, LDH, CRP, and IL-6 levels were considered as more meaningful markers for COVID-19 prognostic evaluation.
With the outbreak of COVID-19 ongoing, this infectious disease has been posing a significant threat to public health. However, we are still relatively inexperienced on recognizing the clinical characteristics of severe COVID-19 and death cases. Therefore, we hereby collected and analyzed a total of 232 cases to illustrate the clinical characteristics of such patients in Wuhan and to find notable marks for early clinical warning. We consider age, comorbidities, platelet count, albumin, D-dimer, LDH, CRP and IL-6 level might be more meaningful marks for COVID-19 prognostic evaluation.
