Clinical pbkp_redictors of severity in COVID-19 patients

Abstract:

Currently, multiple clinical and paraclinical variables have been found to pbkp_redict prognosis in patients with COVID-19. The identification of prognostic factors will allow patients' risk to be graded and actively control the severity of the desease. The goal of this article was to identify, through a bibliographic review, the variables that may be associated with a fatal outcome due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, a scenario that anticipates severity in patients with COVID-19. Therefore, it is confirmed that advanced age together with pre-existing comorbidities such as: diabetes, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, acute renal failure, chronic liver disease, in addition to genetic factors and neurodegenerative dementia, are poor prognostic factors in patients with COVID-19.
