میزان بالای کورتیزول میتواند به عنوان شاخصی برای میزان مرگ و میر در بیماران کرونایی باشد.
Multivariable analysis showed that a doubling of cortisol concentration was associated with a significant 42% increase in the hazard of mortality, after adjustment for age, the presence of comorbidities, and laboratory tests.
In our cohort, cortisol seemed to be a better independent predictor than were other laboratory markers associated with COVID-19, such as CRP, D-dimer, and neutrophil to leukocyte ratio.
