Objective: Early detection of mortality risk is important in patients diagnosed with of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of different clinical and laboratory parameters in disease severity and mortality in patients with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Patients admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of COVID-19 were evaluated retrospectively. The patients' admission date, discharge date, intensive care transfer/ death date, contact history, smoking, symptoms at the time admission, vital markers at admission, and laboratory parameters were recorded. Results: The study included a total of 347 patients, of whom 168 (48.4%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 59.69 [+ or -] 16.87 (14-97) years, while 40.9% (n=142) were aged over 65 years. Overall, 10.1% (n=35) of the patients required transfer to an intensive care unit and 8.4% (n=29) were deceased. When clinical parameters were evaluated at the time of admission, oxygen saturation was found to be lower in the group that died (79.51 [+ or -] 6.95), compared to the survivors (88.78 [+ or -] 6.11) (p
