Data on demography, pre-existing chronic conditions, laboratory results and treatment were collected.

Clinical severity of Covid-19 was assessed at admission. Higher zinc levels were associated with lower maximum levels of interleukin-6 (proteins that indicate systemic inflammation) during the period of active infection. Having a plasma zinc level lower than 50mcg/dl at admission was associated with a 2.3 times increased risk of in-hospital death compared with a plasma zinc level of 50mcg/dl or higher.
