This meta-analysis studies the impact of hs-cTnI elevated levels on C-reactive protein (C-RP) protein, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and D-dimer (DD) levels in COVID-19 affected individuals.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>Of 557 downloaded articles according to chosen criteria for this meta-analysis, 11 were finally chosen as they met the criteria.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Male and elderly individuals were noticeably prone to COVID-19 infection and considerably underwent death in comparison with female and young individuals. Levels of hs-cTn I, C-RP, IL-6, and DD were significantly higher among dead compare to survivors for COVID-19 affected individuals.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Levels of C-RP, IL-6, and DD were considerably high and in linear relation with elevated hs-cTn I levels. Hs-cTn I can be considered a reliable marker for COVID-19 infection prognosis and potent predictor of decease.</p>}, number={6}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research}, author={ZAGEER, DHEAA SHAMIKH and HANTOOSH, SUNDUS FADHIL and Q SH.
