A novel hyperinflammation clinical risk tool, HI5-NEWS2, predicts mortality following early dexamethasone use in an observational cohort of hospitalised COVID-19 patients

2021-06-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The success of early dexamethasone therapy for hospitalised COVID-19 cases in treatment of Sars-CoV-2 infection may predominantly reflect its anti-inflammatory action against a hyperinflammation (HI) response. It is likely that there is substantial heterogeneity in HI responses in COVID-19. <h4>Methods</h4> Blood CRP, ferritin, neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts were scored to assess HI...
