Predictive factors of poor outcomes in the COVID-19 epidemic: Consider the inflammatory response	2020-04-24		.txt	text/plain	1053	74	56	Clinical presentation is heterogenous from benign presentations to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) leading to intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization or death [3, 4] . We aimed to identify risks factors for poor outcome of COVID-19 infection in hospitalized patients during the first month of the pandemic in Besanç on University Hospital. All patients received complete laboratory tests at admission, including acute phase reactants (i.e., C-reactive protein [CRP], procalcitonin [PCT], ferritin, fibrinogen), complete blood count, liver, and kidney function tests. High levels of CRP, PCT, AST, and LDH were associated with poor outcome (Table 1) . We identified a group of patients with high inflammatory response associated with poor outcomes. Despite no statistical relevance in our study, high ferritin levels have already been described as predictor of acute respiratory distress syndrome [5] .
