Ellen McDonagh (Genomics England Curator)

Not yet peer-reviewed study available in medRxiv: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.01.20047381v1
reports an association between elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) in COVID-19 infected patients with the need for mechanical ventilation (p=1.2.10-5). The maximal IL-6 level (cutoff 80 pg/ml) for each patient during disease predicted respiratory failure with high accuracy (p=1.7.10-8, AUC=0.98). The risk of respiratory failure for patients with IL-6 levels of ≥ 80 pg/ml was 22 times higher compared to patients with lower IL-6 levels.
