Abstract

In this prospective study, anemia was a common finding, observed in one-third of patients with COVID-19 at Emergency Department presentation. Nonetheless, we did not find anemia to be strongly associated with progression to severe COVID-19 disease. Moreover, we did not find anemia to be associated with significant elevations in inflammatory biomarkers.
