Comparative study of the vital parameters and biomarkers in predicting the outcome of patients in Covid ICU

Abstract

The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of vital parameters and biomarkers in predicting the outcome of patients in Covid ICU. Material and Methods: In our study among 186 Covid-19 cases admitted in ICU we compared the vital parameters and levels of biomarkers on the day of admission and last day of hospitalisation among those who Expired (Group A) and the survivors (Group B). Results: The median values of vital parameters were significantly raised on the day of admission in comparison to last day of hospitalisation. Vital parameters worsened among those who expired (Group A) and improved in the survivors (Group B). The levels of biomarkers increased with the duration of hospitalisation among those who expired (Group A) and declined among the survivors (Group B). Conclusion: The worsening of vital parameters and raised levels of biomarkers is associated with poor outcome and higher mortality.
