Evaluation of biochemical characteristics of 183 COVID-19 patients: A retrospective study.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with a high mortality rate, has caught the eyes of researchers worldwide and placed a heavy burden on the health care system. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the values of biochemical parameters on the outcomes of COVID-19 patients in Golestan, Iran. This retrospective study was conducted on 183 COVID-19 patients (i.e., 94 males and 89 females) between March and September 2020. The biochemical parameters and demographic data of the patients (including age, sex, urea, creatinine [Cr], lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], and creatine kinase [CK]) were obtained from electrical medical records. According to the outcome of COVID-19, the patients were categorized into two groups (i.e., death [ Of the 183 patients, 120 (65.5%) had a non-severe type and recovered from COVID-19, and 63 (34.4%) developed into a critically severe type and died. The mean age of all patients was 56.5 years old. The highest mortality was observed in patients with LDH ≥280. The data obtained by the one-sample Some biochemical parameters are effective in the evaluation of dynamic variations in COVID-19 patients. It can be concluded from the results that biochemical parameters and reinforce LDH may be useful for the evaluation of the COVID-19 outcome.
