Association between Circulating Amino Acids and COVID-19 Severity.

ABSTRACT: The severity of the symptoms associated with COVID-19 is highly variable, and has been associated with circulating amino acids as a group of analytes in metabolomic studies. However, for each individual amino acid, there are discordant results among studies. The aims of the present study were: (i) to investigate the association between COVID-19-symptom severity and circulating amino-acid concentrations; and (ii) to assess the ability of circulating amino-acid levels to predict adverse outcomes (intensive-care-unit admission or hospital death). We studied a sample of 736 participants from the Biobanque Québécoise COVID-19. All participants tested positive for COVID-19, and the severity of symptoms was determined using the World-Health-Organization criteria. Circulating amino acids were meas
