Background: The Novel Corona Virus pandemic caused significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The biochemical parameters in affected individuals can differentiate between moderate and severe COVID-19 infection. Early identification will facilitate appropriate care and reduce the mortality.
Objective : In the present study, we are exploring the possibility of association of the data of biochemical investigations done at the time of admission with COVID-19 severity in patients, as timely modulation in medical management could reduce the mortality and shorten hospital stay.
Materials and Methods : A cross sectional study including 452RT-PCR positive, moderate to severe cases of COVID-19 patients admitted to a tertiary care centre, New Delhi were enrolled in the study, in the months of June to October 2020.Biochemical profile of moderate and severe COVID 19 patients was evaluated on admission and correlated with severity of the disease.
