CD8A and COVID-19: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of T-lymphocyte subset absolute counts assessed at ward admission in predicting 30-day mortality in COVID-19 hospitalized patients; we accomplish this by validating previously obtained cutoffs for total CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T-cell absolute counts and by applying a new prognostic score based on the number of T-cell subset absolute counts below these cutoffs.
