Clinical Characteristics and Laboratory Testing of Patients With COVID19: A Retrospective Analysis

Abstract

Objective:To explore the early warning signs of deterioration of patients Methods: The data of thirty-six patients who were admitted to Handan Infectious Hospital was collected. The clinical features and laboratory testing were retrospectively. The initial laboratory testing included blood chemistries, dimer, coagulation function, etc. The patients were divided into mild/common severe/critical group. Results: The lymphocyte count, monocyte count, hemoglobin, albumin levels in severe/critical group were lower compared with those in group, while the fibrinogen was higher. The lymphocyte count and monocyte positively correlated with hemoglobin, pre-albumin respectively. Conclusion: patients with lower initial prealbumin and hemoglobin level were more likely severe conditions. Decreased prealbumin and hemoglobin, combined with and monocyte count, could be the early warning signs of deterioration of COVID-19.
