Genetic Factors Determining COVID-19 Susceptibility and Severity

Description:

Our goal in this project is to determine clinical factors of a poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19 infection. We will examine  medical records of patients with COVID-19 infections confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Logistic multivariate regression models adjusted for age and sex will be constructed to analyze independent predictive factors associated with death, ICU admission and hospitalization of these patients. As part of the project, we are looking at the link between COVID-19 severity (e.g., COVID-19 related death) and the blood type of patients. This topic has been a controversial topic in the research community.
