    Snippet: In summary, this study aimed to investigate SARS-CoV-2-induced ALI among 355 COVID-19 patients from two hospitals. Our results revealed that SARS-CoV-2-induced ALI was more common in critically ill patients. In addition, male elderly COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus and lymphopenia were more susceptible to ALI. We provide evidence that ALI at the early stage elevates death risk of COVID-19 patients. Importantly, SARS-CoV-2-induced ALI has.....
    Document: In summary, this study aimed to investigate SARS-CoV-2-induced ALI among 355 COVID-19 patients from two hospitals. Our results revealed that SARS-CoV-2-induced ALI was more common in critically ill patients. In addition, male elderly COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus and lymphopenia were more susceptible to ALI. We provide evidence that ALI at the early stage elevates death risk of COVID-19 patients. Importantly, SARS-CoV-2-induced ALI has not recovered completely 14 days after discharge. Therefore, it is necessary to further evaluate whether SARS-CoV-2 infection causes permanent liver injury.
