Risk factors and electrocardiogram characteristics for mortality in critical inpatients with <scp>COVID</scp> ‐19

Abstract

Old age (>70 years), neutrophilia, C-reactive protein greater than 100 mg/L and lactate dehydrogenase over 300 U/L are high-risk factors for mortality in critical patients with COVID-19. Sinus tachycardia and ventricular arrhythmia are independent ECG risk factors for mortality from COVID-19.
