About this study

Official title: Association of the Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio and Lymphocyte /Platelet Ratio With Clinical Complications and Mortality in COVID-19 Patients

There is little information about the clinical characteristics and risk factors of Covid-19 in Latin American countries considering the ethnic differences and the high prevalence of obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between laboratory tests and the risk of complications in SARS-CoV-2 infection and to determine their mortality risk factors in a sample of the Mexican population.

A retrospective cross-sectional study of the routinely collected data was performed in the Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad de Ixtapaluca (HRAEI), State of Mexico. Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 and oxygen support that were admitted between March 28 and May 5, 2020, were included

Read the detailed description

Data collection Data was collected deidentified admission from adult patients, with oxygen therapy. Data were extracted from clinical medical records and the electronic database of daily laboratory test results. Also, incomplete clinical records were included. The number of cases in the area during the study period determined the sample size, no formal hypotheses being implemented. All patients who met the inclusion criteria were included.

Study variables Demographic variables (sex and age), chronic medical histories (hypertension, diabetes and cancer), laboratory plasma, and serum-based biomarkers, as well as the mortality, mechanical ventilation, and length of stay, were considered. Leukocytosis was considered as a leucocyte count above 10 x 103/mcL, a cut point of INL> 10, d- dimer 500 U/L, DHL> 500U/L, low count of lymphocytes < 0·5103/mcL as risk factors exposure to death and mechanical ventilation.

A new variable was create combining the data of neutrophil count (ANC) and lymphocyte count (ALC) to obtain the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (calculated dividing the ANC by the ALC).

Outcomes The hypothesis was formulated before the statistical analysis. Our primary outcomes were to 1) To describe the clinical characteristics of the Mexican population with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and 2) To determine the mortality risk factors in Covid-19.

Secondary outcomes included 1) To identify the chronic diseases related to Covid-19 in Mexican population and 2) To evaluate the differences in hematic and biochemical parameters between survivors and no survivors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid-19, run by Hospital Regional de Alta especialidad de Ixtapaluca at 1 site in Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical complications and Mortality (time frame: 10 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jun 2020.
