Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic established a greater demand for intensive care units (ICU), being necessary the implementation of predictive markers of severity and mortality. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that BUN/Creatinine is a predictor of ICU admission in patients with COVID-19 in the Hospital Regional Docente de Trujillo (HRDT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analytical observational study of diagnostic tests. A total of 385 medical records of patients with COVID-19 at HRDT during the years 2020 and 2021 were selected for data collection. RESULTS: Out of 385 patients, 39.22% of patients met the criteria for ICU admission, association with other variables such as age (p=0.090), gender (p=0.545) and comorbidities (p=0. 260), the optimal cut-off point of BUN/Creatinine was 29.01, being significantly associated (p<0.00001) with admission to ICU with a sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of 67.55%, 73.08%, 61.82% and 77.73%, respectively. ROC curve obtained the AUC of 71.97%. CONCLUSIONS: BUN/Creatinine ratio ≥ 29.01 is an intermediate level predictor for ICU admission (p< 0.00001).
