Association between procalcitonin levels and duration of mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 patients

BACKGROUND: Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 frequently require mechanical ventilation. Knowledge of laboratory tests associated with the prolonged need for mechanical ventilation may guide resource allocation. We hypothesized that an elevated plasma procalcitonin level (>0.1 ng/ml) would be asso...
