Clinical, Biochemical, and ATR-FTIR Spectroscopic Parameters Associated with Death or Survival in Patients with Severe COVID-19 by Adriana Martinez-Cuazitl, Monica M. Mata-Miranda, Miguel Sanchez-Brito, Daniel Valencia-Trujillo, Amanda M. Avila-Trejo, Raul J. Delgado-Macuil, Consuelo Atriano-Colorado, Francisco Garibay-Gonzalez, Virginia Sanchez-Monroy, Gustavo J. Vazquez-Zapien

“…The wide range of symptoms of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) makes it challenging to predict the disease evolution using a single parameter. Therefore, to describe the pathophysiological response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19, we compared according to survival or death, the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, the biochemical and immunological attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra from saliva samples and their correlation with chemometric findings. …”
