Inflammatory and hematologic markers as predictors of severe outcomes in COVID-19 infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Study: Patients with severe COVID-19 infections have higher procalcitonin, CRP, D-dimer, and LDH and decreased albumin but lower levels of albumin. Meta-analysis suggests these parameters can be used for predicting severe outcomes in COID-19. The cutoff values for the parameters were 0.065ng/mL for procalcitonin and 38.85g/L for albumin, 33.55mg/L. for CRP and 0.635mg/ L for D-Dimer.
