This Study describes eleven patients positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. In our cases, females and younger patients developed more severe disease. In contrast, improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction and N‐terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide within the first week of treatment contributed to promising outcomes.
We described eleven patients positive for severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The younger age and
female gender seem to contribute to poor outcomes possibly. Furthermore,
the left ventricle ejection fraction and pro-BNP improvement within the
first week of treatment might indicate a good prognosis.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
