Thus, the objective of this study was to explore the potential association between serum nitrate levels and mortality of COVID-19 patients. We performed logistic regression analyses to determine the possible association between serum nitrate levels and 30-day mortality after to control by SOFA or APACHE-II. We think that this association between high serum nitrate levels and high COVID-19 patients mortality found in our study could be due to a higher nitric oxide production which lead to cardiovascular dysfunction, bioenergetic failure and cellular toxicity and all this can contribute to organ dysfunction and finally the death of the patients. ./cache/cord-314512-60dk9zma.txt ./txt/cord-314512-60dk9zma.txt
