Prognosticating poor outcome in COVID-19

Abstract

We have read the article titled “Comparison of liver biomarkers with N/L ratio, CRP, d-dimer in Covid 19 pneumonia and its effect on mortality” prepared by Haydar et al. with great interest. We thank the editorial board and the authors for publishing this successful and informative manuscript. We also would like to mention a few important points about prognosticating mortality in COVID-19 to contribute to the discussion of the study.

Keywords

• COVID-19
