Abstract

Combining ferritin with NEWS and CT-SS improves the prognostic accuracy for predicting severe outcomes in COVID-19 patients. This study emphasizes the value of integrating laboratory markers with established scoring systems to optimize clinical decision-making. The findings can guide early interventions, reduce mortality, and improve resource utilization during pandemics.
