A higher serum viral load; older age; decreased white blood cell counts, platelet counts, lymphocyte percentage, and albumin; and an elevated neutrophil percentage, AST, ALT, LDH, CK, ALP, GGT, BUN, and CREA were identified to be risk factors for death.[5–8] In addition, patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome, central nervous system (CNS) symptoms, hemorrhagic manifestations, and disseminated intravascular coagulation are more likely to die.[9–11] The majority of these results are consistent with our findings by univariate regression analysis. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
