Fibrosis-4 index as a predictor for mortality in hospitalised patients with COVID-19: a retrospective multicentre cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The reliable risk factors for mortality of COVID-19 has not evaluated in well-characterised cohort. This study aimed to identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality within 56 days in patients with severe infection of COVID-19.

Retrospective multicentre cohort study.

Setting

Five tertiary hospitals of Daegu, South Korea.
