We analysed data from 210 consecutive patients with COVID-19 (inclusion criteria: admission to hospital, positivity for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2]; aged ≥18 years, not pregnant or breastfeeding) with available data on outcome (ie, discharge or mortality) who were admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Austria between March 3 and June 13, 2020. Outcome-specific differences in lymphocyte counts (p=0·44) and eosinophil counts (p=0·14) observed at admission also did not predict mortality of COVID-19, suggesting that these routine parameters might not show which patients are at risk for complications associated with COVID-19. The authors evaluated haematological characteristics and risk factors for classification of disease severity and outcome prediction for patients with COVID-19.	./cache/cord-309711-x07odyxl.txt	./txt/cord-309711-x07odyxl.txt
