ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic requires a quick and accurate diagnosis and assessment of the condition of patients, correctly chosen by the tactics of treatment and prediction of the course of the disease, especially in older patients. The most promising direction is the study of the potential of inflammatory factors among people over 60 years of age. This paper analyzed serum level characteristics of analytes such as C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, IL-6, troponin, ferritin and brain natriuretic peptide. The findings demonstrate the prognostic value of IL-6 and procalcitonin in both middle-aged and older-aged individuals. For people of senile age, the diagnostic informativity of both IL-6 and Pct reached an acceptable level. C-reactive protein is statistically significantly higher in fatal patients.
