Abstract
Background
The aim of this study was to investigate the performance and predictive value of hypocalcemia in severe COVID-19 patients.
Methods
We retrospectively investigated the clinical and laboratory characteristics of severe COVID-19 patients. 107 patients were divided into hypocalcemia group and normal serum calcium group. The clinical and laboratory data were compared between two groups. The discriminative power of hypocalcemia regarding poor outcome were evaluated by receiver operating curves (ROC) analyze.
