Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a predictive marker for severe COVID-19, particularly hypoxemia, in elderly residents of a long-term care facility.
  • Retrospective analysis of 53 patients showed that higher initial IL-6 levels (specifically 24 pg/mL) were strongly associated with the development of hypoxemia, with IL-6 proving to be the most reliable predictor among several markers.
  • This suggests IL-6 can be used as an effective screening tool to identify high-risk patients early on, enabling timely intervention and management during COVID-19 outbreaks in long-term care settings.
