What is Novel markers of COVID-19 mortality-A comparative study with patients of acute coronary syndrome about?

## ABSTRACT ## Background: COVID-19 can cause severe pneumonia that can progress to multiple organ failure. It is believed that dysregulation of inflammation and cytokine storm, contributes to severe COVID-19. As inflammatory mediators play an important role in the pathogenesis of the severe disease, inflammatory markers like fever, leucocytosis, and C-reactive protein are known to predict severe disease. Various other biomarkers have been known to have prognostic value in patients with COVID-19 infection. Inflammation, both local and systemic plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Thus in this study, we aimed to compare and describe the various biomarkers, and mortality between patients admitted with COVID-19 infection and ACS patients without COVID-19 infection. ## Methods: In a retrospective observational case-control study, a total of 108 patients admitted to our hospital during the month of May 2021 with COVID-19 were enrolled. Patients of the acute coronary syndrome (tested negative for COVID-19 infection) admitted during the same month were enrolled (including both the intensive care unit and ward) as controls. ## Results: The median ag
