Evaluation of serum calcium levels in patients with COVID-19 in Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd
View through CrossRef
COVID-19 produced by SARS-CoV-2 is still distributing and its dangerous cases are related to electrolyte disorders such as calcium levels disturbance. The aim of current study was to investigate serum calcium levels in patients with COVID19 in Shahid Sadoughi Hospital of Yazd. In this cross-sectional study, COVID-19 patients admitted to Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd from March 2019 to March 2020 were studied. The following data were extracted from patients' records: age, sex, time elapsed from onset of symptoms to hospitalization, severity of COVID-19, serum calcium level at hospitalization, and disease outcome (recovery or death). The serum calcium level mean of patients was 8.2 ±0.7 mg/dl. Most patients had hypocalcemia. Patients who died had lower serum calcium levels than patients who recovered. Therefore, hypocalcemia is common in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and is associated with mortality.
