Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This study has some limitations. First, we only considered admission values as predictors of mortality. Patients with COVID-19 might have different behaviors with several kinds of intervention requirements that we did not observe, and which could modify the prognosis. Additionally, we did not consider certain variables related to the Hb dissociation curve as PCO2 or acid-base status, which might be associated with residual confusion bias. Furthermore, we did not consider the pharmacological history that could affect the baseline CBC. Lastly, given the retrospective nature of our study, and since the data were gathered from clinical records, we could not guarantee a uniform measurement for each variable. It is necessary to note that no effect can be associated with high-altitude exposure given the absence of a comparative group. The variables studied might also be modified in chronic pulmonary disease or tobacco use. However, including those variables in the purposeful selection of covariates for multivariate analysis showed us that they lacked significance. This study allowed us to hypothesize that the adaptative mechanism for chronic hypoxia modifies the pathological process in respiratory diseases. Further studies are required to understand this biological interaction.
