Serum ferritin level was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients (OR 0.36; 95% CI 0.21-0.62; p<0.001).
Observational
Do higher serum ferritin levels (>1000) predict in-hospital mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients?
Higher levels of serum ferritin (>1000) serve as an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19.
Odds Ratio: 0.36 (95% CI 0.21–0.62)
p-value: p=<0.001
INTRODUCTION: This study aims to investigate in-hоsрitаl mоrtаlity in severe асute resрirаtоry syndrоme соrоnаvirus 2 раtients strаtified by serum ferritin levels. METHODS: Patients were stratified based on ferritin levels (ferritin levels ≤ 1000 or >1000). RESULTS: Approximately 89% (118) of the patients with ferritin levels > 1000 had pneumonia, and 51% (67) had hypertension. Fever (97, 73.5%) and shortness of breath (80, 61%) were two major symptoms among the patients in this group. Logistic regression analysis indicated that ferritin level (odds ratio OR = 0.36, 95% confidence interval CI = 0.21-0.62; p 1000. CONCLUSION: In this study, higher levels of serum ferritin were found to be an independent predictor of in-hоsрitаl mоrtаlity.
Alroomi et al. (Thu,) conducted a observational in COVID-19. Serum ferritin level vs. Lower serum ferritin levels was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.21-0.62, p=<0.001). Serum ferritin level was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients (OR 0.36; 95% CI 0.21-0.62; p<0.001).
