3.6 Inflammatory markers for illness severity
respiratory failure
RESPIRATORY FAILURE, DECREASED LYMPHOCYTES
Inflammatory markers at patient presentation (day 1) which correlated with increased mortality through day 28 include decreased lymphocytes and platelets, as well as increased D-dimer, creatinine, C-reactive protein (CRP), urea, troponin, potassium, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and blood glucose levels. Patients that had a higher risk of 28-day mortality had a greater magnitude of change from day 1 to day 7 in decreased platelets, decreased blood glucose, increased creatinine, and increased sodium. Further values are represented in the S6 Table in Inflammatory markers at patient admission (day 1) which correlated with increased respiratory failure through day 28 included: decreased lymphocytes and platelets, as well as increased D-dimer, white blood cell counts, blood glucose, urea, lactate, creatinine, procalcitonin, CRP, LDH, and troponin. Patients that had a higher risk of 28-day respiratory failure had a greater magnitude of change from day 1 to day 7 in decreased platelets, increased total bilirubin, and increased potassium levels. Further values are represented in the S7 Table in There were no statistically significant differences in any inflammatory markers between the Aggrenox and control groups on univariate analyses (S8 Table in
