Predictors for the severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in patients with underlying liver disease: a retrospective analytical study in Iran

Abstract: Risk factors for clinical outcomes of COVID-19 pneumonia have not yet been well established in patients with underlying liver diseases. Our study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 infection among patients with underlying liver diseases and determine the risk factors for severe COVID-19 among them. In a retrospective analytical study, 1002 patients with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia were divided into two groups: patients with and without underlying liver diseases. The admiss… Show more

“…Thus, identifying early biomarkers of disease severity on admission could expedite the early intensified therapy to reduce mortality. However, there are few reports of the prognostic capacity of early biomarkers of the disease, and the information in published studies are limited to age, sex (Jin et al, 2021a), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) , immunological cell defects (Du et al, 2020;Jin et al, 2021a), systemic inflammation response index; liver, heart, and kidney injuries, coagulation defects, and aggregate index of systemic inflammation in predicting mortality in COVID-19 patients (Bhargava et al, 2020;Fois et al, 2020;Bahardoust et al, 2021;Gallo Marin et al, 2021;Hariyanto et al, 2021). However, inflammatory responses and indicators to the microorganism-induced infection are not specific for COVID-19, leading to an uncertain diagnosis.…”

“…The prospective study design was another strength of our study compared to other studies. COVID-19 mortality rates have also been reported based on underlying diseases and socioeconomic [ 6 , 22 24 ]. According to our research so far, the study in Iran has not evaluated the outcomes of COVID-19 in orthopedic surgeries.…”

“…Sex of the COVID-19 infected patients have been previous reported to affect the disease progression and outcome of COVID-19 infection. Males are reported to be at higher risk of infection than females [ 44 ]. This can be further observed in many studies where the number of COVID-19 infected males are as much as twice the number of COVID-19 infected female [ 18 , 39 , 45 , 46 ].…”
