Role of hemogram-derived ratios in predicting intensive care unit admission in COVID-19 patients: a multicenter study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

As hyperinflammation is recognized as a driver of severe COVID-19 disease, checking markers of inflammation is gaining more attention. Our study aimed to evaluate the utility of cost-effective hemogram-derived ratios in predicting intensive care unit (ICU) admission in COVID-19 patients.

Methods

This multicenter retrospective study included hospitalized COVID-19 patients from four dedicated COVID-19 hospitals in Sylhet, Bangladesh. Data on demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters and survival outcomes were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the significance of each hemogram-derived ratio in predicting ICU admission.

Results

Of 442 included patients, 98 (22.17%) required ICU admission. At the time of admission, pati
