ABSTRACT
Limited data is available for reliable and accurate predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. This is a retrospective cohort study of patients without a known history of liver diseases hospitalized with COVID-19 viral infection. Patients were stratified into low score groups (MELD score <10) and high score groups (MELD ≥10). Clinical outcomes were evaluated, including in-hospital mortality, hospital length of stay and intensive care unit length of stay (ICU LOS).
