Predictors of mortality among critically ill SARS-CoV-2 infected patients—a retrospective cohort study, Kerala, India
Renal insufficiency, transaminitis, coronary artery disease and elevated inflammatory markers, comorbidities and lack of vaccination, Pneumonia, Breathlessness and ARDS, sepsis and septic shock, cough, and diarrhea at the time of admission were identified as nine domains/variables that contributed to mortality. It is relevant in the clinical setting of LMICs (low- and middle-income countries) with limited healthcare resources. These predictors would help in prognostication of the disease and guide in rationalizing the management of patients in the context of pandemic threats.
