Shrnutí:Background Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) patients often deteriorate rapidly based on viral infection-related inflammation and the subsequent cytokine storm. The clinical symptoms were found to be inconsistent with laboratory findings. There is a need to develop biochemical severity score to closely monitor COVID-19 patients. Methods This study was conducted in the department of biochemistry at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bhubaneswar in collaboration with the intensive care unit. Laboratory data of 7,395 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 during the first three waves of the pandemic were analyzed. The serum high sensitivity high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP, immuno-turbidity method), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, modified Wacker et al. method), and liver enzymes (kinetic-UV method) were estimated by fully automated chemistry analyzer. Serum ferritin and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by one-step immunoassay using chemiluminescence technology. Three models were used in logistic regression to check for the predictive potential of biochemical parameters, and a COVID-19 biochemical severity score was calculated using a non-linear regression algorithm. Results The receiver operating characteristic curve found age, urea, uric acid, CRP, ferritin, IL6, and LDH with the highest odds of predicting ICU admission for COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 biochemical severity scores higher than 0.775 were highly predictive (odds ratio of 5.925) of ICU admission (AUC=0.740, p<0.001) as compared to any other individual parameter. For the validation, 30% of the total dataset was used as testing data (n=2095) with a sensitivity of 68.3%, specificity of 74.5%, and odds ratio of 6.304. Conclusion Age, urea, uric acid, ferritin, IL6, LDH, and CRP-based predictive probability algorithm calculating COVID-19 severity was found to be highly predictive of ICU admission for COVID-19 patients.
