Abstract
Background: COVID-19 infection involves a complex interplay of the immunological and inflammatory responses. Low blood-oxygen levels have been a hallmark in COVID-19 patients. The lung tissue damage infiltered by the viral-mediated inflammation decreases oxygen saturation to cause silent hypoxia and cell death. This study aimed to evaluate the association of inflammatory biomarkers with oxygen saturation (SpO2) and mortality in severe COVID-19 patients.
