Sanyal – 28 April 2021 – Simple tests of routine data are needed for those with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which causes corona virus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), to help identify those who may need mechanical ventilation (MV). In this study, we aimed to determine if fibrosis‐4 (FIB‐4) is associated with the need for MV in patients with COVID‐19 and if there is an association to determine the optimal FIB‐4 cutoff.
