To evaluate lymphopenia as a marker for coronavirus disease severity, we conducted a meta-analysis of 10 studies. Severe illness was associated with lower lymphocyte and higher leukocyte counts. Using these markers for early identification of patients with severe disease may help healthcare providers prioritize the need to obtain therapy.
为了评估淋巴细胞减少作为冠状病毒疾病严重程度的标志物,我们对 10 项研究进行了荟萃分析。严重疾病与较低的淋巴细胞计数和较高的白细胞计数相关。使用这些标志物早期识别严重疾病患者,可能有助于医疗保健提供者确定获得治疗的必要性。
