Popis: Background: Laboratory markers like lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, elevated D-dimer, and C-reactive protein (CRP) predict worse outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, a comprehensive analysis of hematologic and coagulation parameter alterations based on fever status is lacking. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 300 COVID-19 patients hospitalized from March to December 2020. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were extracted from electronic medical records. Patients were stratified into fever (n = 200) and no fever (n = 100) groups. Hematologic, coagulation, and inflammatory markers were compared between groups using appropriate statistical tests. Multivariate regression identified independent predictors of fever. Results: Fever was associated with leukocytosis, neutrophilia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, elevated CRP, D-dimer, procalcitonin, interleukin-6, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and ferritin compared to no fever (all P < 0.05). D-dimer (r = 0.42), CRP (r = 0.52), NLR (r = 0.48), and interleukin-6 (r = 0.46) demonstrated the strongest correlation with fever (P < 0.001). High D-dimer >1000 ng/mL (adjusted odds ratio 2.7), CRP >100 mg/L (3.1), lymphopenia 4 (2.9), and thrombocytopenia
