Threshold values for all biomarkers were found to be statistically significant and independently associated with higher odds of clinical deterioration and death. Conclusion: Laboratory markers of inflammation and coagulopathy can help clinicians identify patients who are at high risk for clinical deterioration in COVID-19. Elevated levels of IL-6, D-dimer, CRP, LDH and ferritin all had an independent increased risk for the clinical outcomes assessed (ICU admission, invasive ventilatory support and death), which were statistically significant. • A retrospective cohort of COVID-19 patients were identified, their admission and peak biomarkers were extracted and the odds of adverse clinical outcomes were calculated.	./cache/cord-314002-zm02k9bw.txt	./txt/cord-314002-zm02k9bw.txt
