Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the predictive role of early laboratory indicators in the severity of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19). Methods Retrospective analysis was used to analyze the laboratory results in 85 patients with COVID-19 at the time of admission,and the results included blood routine test,liver function,kidney function,blood coagulation function,interleukin 6(IL-6),ferritin,C-reactive protein(CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),procalcitonin(PCT),myoglobin,troponin and amyloid A. Results In severe group,the levels of white blood cell(WBC) count,the absolute value of neutrophil(NEUT#),neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),CRP,D-dimer(DD),ferritin and creatinine were higher than those in mild group(P<0.05). WBC count,NEUT#,NLR,LDH,myoglobin,CRP and ferritin were predictive risk factors of COVID-19. NLR was an independent predictor for the severity of COVID-19. When the cut-off value of NLR was 5.61,the sensitivity and specificity were 68.75% and 78.38%,respectively. Conclusions The increasing of WBC count,NEUT#,NLR,LDH,myoglobin,CRP and ferritin suggests the risk of severity,and NLR is an independent prediction for the severity of COVID-19.
