In this work, it was possible to determine that presence of SaO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> ≤90%, hyperglycemia, elevated CRP levels, thrombocytopenia, a pathological X-ray upon admission, and a previous associated disease (AMI, COPD, or hypertension) were associated with clinical deterioration.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Numerous studies coincide on highlighting age, male sex, and presence of dyspnea as predictive factors of mortality or ICU admission in COVID-19 patients<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5,6</span></a>. As this study paired cases and controls by age, we were not able to evaluate this variable’s effect on outcomes.

Unlike other published works, dyspnea was not significantly more frequent among the cases in our study. This is probably related to the exclusion of patients who required mechanical ventilation in the first 24 h, given that patients who were admitted to the ICU in that time period were transferred due to presence of severe ARDS.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is important to note that our main objective was to identify patients who, hospitalized in the pulmonary phase of the disease as per the phases proposed by Siddiqi and Mehra<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a>, presented with clinical deterioration during hospitalization. Thus, the cases more frequently had an SaO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span>p that was lower than the controls upon arrival to the emergency department. Despite the fact that the oxygen values were practically within normal ranges, there was an objective clinical repercussion given that in addition, the cases also presented with tachypnea more often, which is undoubtedly a determining factor of poor progress in pneumonia and is included on COVID-19 severity scales<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a>.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Fu et al.’s<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> study on 200 patients observed that both age and comorbidities such as low oxygenation were associated with greater mortality. Therefore, it seems that lower oxygenation values upon admission may predict later deterioration. Beyond this, as <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a> shows, there is a point of inflection in oxygenation, which has been termed the “critical day” for patients. Therefore, proper identification of the clinical characteristics of patients at high risk of worsening is crucial. Bilateral lung involvement and ground-glass opacities have been demonstrated to be the most frequent radiological form of presentation in the literature<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11,12</span></a>. However, in our study, we could not determine the type of radiological involvement; it was only known that patients who developed clinical worsening during the course of the disease presented with some type of initial radiological abnormality versus the controls, who had normal X-rays.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In regard to associated diseases, it seems logical that patients with chronic diseases such as COPD who presented with chronic lung parenchyma inflammation, limitation of expiratory flow, and greater susceptibility to infections would be more vulnerable to the disease<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a>. Likewise, in line with other Spanish cohorts<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a>, a greater association between COPD and clinical deterioration has been observed, which is likely related to presence of a greater number of comorbidities than COVID-19 patients usually have<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a>.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Hypertension and AMI are significantly related to clinical deterioration<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a>. Zhao et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> identified that age >60 years, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes were independent factors of mortality due to COVID-19. Another two recent studies indicated that these patients more often had myocardial damage and arrhythmias during the hospitalization, which are associated with greater mortality<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17,18</span></a>. Direct viral involvement as well as inflammation secondary to the cytokine storm in SARS-CoV-2 infection could be behind this myocardial damage<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a>. The potential impact this damage may have in the long-term is still to be determined.</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Lastly, elevated glucose and CRP levels were predictors of clinical deterioration. Both parameters have been widely studied in pneumonia. Hyperglycemia that is either secondary to the stress of the infection or due to diabetes or an underlying metabolic syndrome could increase mortality in COVID-19 patients<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20–22</span></a>.</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Diabetes is one of the most frequent comorbidities in COVID-19 and can worsen its prognosis<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span></a>.

Undoubtedly, proper management and control of glucose levels must be a key part of COVID-19 treatment. In regard to CRP, its elevation has been associated with disease severity and, in addition, it seems to have surpassed other biomarkers more commonly used in sepsis<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a>.</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">On the other hand, the cases presented with lower platelet levels than the controls. A recent retrospective study which included 1476 patients observed that 20.7% of the sample presented with thrombocytopenia, which was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26</span></a>. It has been observed that disseminated intravascular coagulation is frequent among those who have died due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, which could explain the increase in platelet consumption<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a>.</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study has certain limitations inherent to its case-control design.

In regard to the study period, in the initial phases of the pandemic, it was less likely that patients with mild-moderate disease would have been admitted to the hospital; the majority were severe patients.
