Abstract
To investigate the difference in serum ferritin levels between deceased and surviving regular hemodialysis patients with COVID-19.
We conducted a systematic search across four databases following the PRISMA statement guidelines. Studies reporting ferritin levels and mortality of regular hemodialysis patients with COVID-19 were included. Employing the random-effects model, we performed a meta-analysis to determine the mean difference in serum ferritin levels between the studied groups, along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals. The meta-analysis was carried out using Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 16.
A total of 1 013 patients from seven studies were included in this study. Our meta-analysis showed higher mean serum ferritin in the deceased compared to surviving regular hemodialysis patients with COVID-19, with a mean difference of 449.43 ng/mL [95% CI (244.07, 654.80), P<0.000 1; I
2=58%, P=0.003].
Our study found a higher mean of serum ferritin levels in the deceased compared to surviving regular hemodialysis patients with COVID-19.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
