Background: It is essential to have reliable biomarkers that can predict mortality and severity in COVID-19, due to its rapid expansion and collapse of health systems. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the mortality predictive capacity of immunological-inflammatory and hematological variables in critically ill patients with COVID-19 in a high-altitude city (2850 masl). Methods: 223 patients with severe COVID-19, mechanically ventilated and admitted to a high altitude intensive care unit (2850 masl), between April 1, 2020 and August 1, 2021, were analyzed. Immunological-inflammatory variables were evaluated: interleukin (IL-6), ferritin, D-dimer, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and hematological variables: mean platelet volume (MPV), MPV/platelet ratio, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLI). Results: The patients studied had a mean age of 50 years (SD= 12) and the male sex predominated (70.4%). The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) to estimate mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19 were: IL-6 at 24 h 0.636 (0.559-0.713), LDH at 48 h 0.613 (0.521-0.705), INL at 24 h h 0.676 (0.601-0.752) and 72 h 0.672 (0.597-0.747). These variables presented cut-off points of 11 pg/ml, 781 U/L, 22 and 14, respectively. In the multivariate model, IL-6 at 24 h > 11 pg/ml had a Hazard ratio (HR) of 6.15, LDH at 48 h > 709 U/L a HR 2.21, INL at at 24 h > 22 an HR 2.52 and INL > 14 at 72 h an HR of 2.82 (p < 0.05). Ferritin, D-dimer, and platelet indices did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated the ability of IL-6, LDH, and INL to predict 28-day mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients living at high altitude (2850 masl). In addition, it suggests the use of INL and LDH as low-cost and immediately available biomarkers in low-resource centers, in the absence of IL-6.
