Previous studies have reported that an important proportion (>20%) of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 present with a marked elevation of circulating biomarkers of inflammation (CRP, Ferritin), cardiovascular damage (Troponin) and thrombo-embolism (D-Dimers), identifying subgroups of patients at high risk of in-hospital morbidity and mortality [7] [8] [9] . Predictive scores that include blood biomarkers of inflammation may help to target the subset of patients who should receive dexamethasone or other anti-inflammatory therapy at an early stage of the disease and could aid in the optimal design of new therapeutic trials.
