Blood albumin:globulin levels are associated with comorbidity index and predicted survival in Coronavirus-19

Studies of potential biomarkers for COVID-19 have shown increased duration of positive nasal PCR for COVID-19 patients and blood albumin:globulin ratio, suggesting low immunoglobulin levels allow for viral persistence. We investigated the relationship of blood albumin:globulin levels with co-morbidities, predicted long term survival, clinical severity on presentation, and length of stay (LOS) in hospitalized adults with COVID-19.
