Abstract
The results of the present study implicate that increased levels of IL-6 and CRP were significantly correlated with severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients. In addition, the dynamic measurement of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio, IL-6, and CRP in COVID-19 might be used as predictors of prognosis and outcome.
