Title: Predictive value of CAR for In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Retrospective Cohort Study Cord-id: 786o5cuc Document date: 2021_2_10
ID: 786o5cuc
Snippet: BACKGROUND: In the current literature, there is a growing evidence that supports the significant role of inflammation in the progression of viral pneumonia, including patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). AIM: The present study aimed to investigate the predictive value of C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) for in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study included the data of 275 consecutive COVID-19 patients who were hospitalize
Document: BACKGROUND: In the current literature, there is a growing evidence that supports the significant role of inflammation in the progression of viral pneumonia, including patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). AIM: The present study aimed to investigate the predictive value of C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) for in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study included the data of 275 consecutive COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in a referral pandemic center. The CAR ratio was obtained by dividing the CRP level with albumin level. The study population was divided into tertiles (T1, T2, and T3) according to their admission CAR values. The endpoint of the study was a composite outcome of in-hospital mortality. RESULTS: During the in-hospital course, 33 (12%) patients died. The patients classified into T3 group had significantly higher CAR compared those classified into T2 and T1 groups. After the adjustment for the confounders, T3 group had 8.2 (95% CI: 4.2–48.1) times higher rates of in-hospital mortality compared to T1 group (the reference group) in a logistic regression model using CAR values. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the predictive value of CAR for in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients.
