Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection has a significant mortality rate. Despite the disease’s extensive effects, little is known about prognostic indicators that can be used. We aimed to assess value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein (LCR) and platelet-to- lymphocyte (PLR) in predicting intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Demographic data, underlying diseases, laboratory parameters were evaluated. The study included 222 cases. rate was 57.65%. No...

Objective To determine the predictive value of C-reactive protein (CRP) plus albumin procalcitonin for long-term mortality in patients with infective endocarditis. Methods This retrospective study included hospitalized endocarditis between February 2008 and December 2021. CRP, procalcitonin, levels were measured within 24 h admission dichotomized as high or low. A CRP points system (range, 3–6) was generated based on low concentrations. Patients divided into two groups: low-risk (≤4 points)...
