Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the factors that contribute to the early determination of mortality risk in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 Methods: We included 941 adult inpatients (474 male [50 4%], mean age, 53 5 +/- 17 0 The patients were divided into two groups: the discharge group and the death group Epidemiological data, medical history, underlying comorbidities, laboratory findings, chest computed tomographic scans, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction detection results, and survival data were obtained with retrospective recordings on admission and follow-up The statistical relationship between survival data and parameters was analyzed A mathematical model was created from the data of both groups Results: While 863 patients survived, 78 were non-survivors During the study period, the preliminary case fatality rate of the inpatients was 8 3% The mean age of the non-survivors was 71 7 +/- 11 2 SD (P1000 ng/ml), high C-reactive protein (...
