Efficacy of monocyte distribution width in predicting critical illness in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia: a retrospective cohort study
Our findings suggest that an elevated MDW value at presentation may serve as a promising predictor of severe outcomes in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. This underscores the need for further research to validate the utility of MDW in predicting critical illness among patients with viral pneumonia.
