Prognostic value of cellular population data in patients with COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Beckman Coulter hematology analysers identify leukocytes by their volume (V), conductivity (C) and scatter (S) of a laser beam at different angles. Each leukocyte sub-population [neutrophils (NE), lymphocytes (LY), monocytes (MO)] is characterized by the mean (MN) and the standard deviation (SD) of 7 measurements called "cellular population data" (@CPD), corresponding to morphological analysis of the leukocytes. As severe forms of infections to SARS-CoV-2 are characterized by a functional activation of mononuclear cells, leading to a cytokine storm, we evaluated whether CPD variations are correlated to the inflammation state, oxygen requirement and lung damage and whether CPD analysis could be useful for a triage of patients with COVID-19 in the Emergency Depart
