High serum nitrates levels in non-survivor COVID-19 patients

Higher blood nitrate and nitrite levels have been found in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients than in healthy subjects. The present study explores the potential association between serum nitrate levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients. A prospective observation study was carried out. Eig...

Zusammenfassung:Higher blood nitrate and nitrite levels have been found in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients than in healthy subjects. The present study explores the potential association between serum nitrate levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients. A prospective observation study was carried out. Eight Intensive Care Units (ICUs) from 6 hospitals in the Canary Islands (Spain). COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU. Determination of serum nitrate levels at ICU admission. Mortality at 30 days. Non-surviving (n=11) compared to surviving patients (n=42) showed higher APACHE-II (p
