Respiratory viruses Ct values and association with clinical outcomes among adults visiting the ED with lower respiratory tract infections
This study supports the association of higher Ct values with shorter LOS and lower mortality for SARS-CoV-2. In contrast, higher Ct values for influenza A were linked to longer LOS. Ct values were not predictive of ICU admission, underscoring the complexity of the relationship between viral load and clinical outcomes.
