The study “Prognostic Value of Non-HDL Cholesterol in COVID-19 Pneumonia” evaluated the predictive value of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in patients with SARS-CoV-2 for mortality in Covid-19 infection. The authors included 1435 patients between January 2020 and June 2022. The results showed that age, CRP, and LDH were positively correlated with non-HDL-C, and the non-surviving group was older. These results corroborate studies’ results demonstrating that several biomarkers could be used as predictive value for prognosis and mortality in Covid-19 disease. […]
