Abstract

The peak of COVID-19 infections in China has just passed, and symptomatic manifestations in patients vary widely, with a minority experiencing severe morbidity and mortality. Early detection of adverse outcomes remains critical for clinical governance and prognosis in COVID-19. This review synthesized both national and international studies relevant to the prognostic evaluation of COVID-19 and summarized the prognostic implications of demographics (age and gender), specific laboratory parameters, adjunctive examination results, complications, and comorbidities in COVID-19 patients. Pertinent laboratory parameters chiefly included markers of inflammation, coagulation function, and electrolytic balance. Adjunctive examinations included thoracic CT and electrocardiographic evaluations. Major complications and comorbid conditions included thrombotic episodes, co-infections, secondary infections, chronic pulmonary disorders, cardiovascular diseases, acute and chronic renal diseases, diabetes mellitus, and cerebrovascular accidents. Moreover, this article discussed how these elements affected the prognosis of patients with COVID-19. By summarizing the information, it aimed to inform preventive and therapeutic strategies against COVID-19 infections in the forthcoming period.
