It is a retrospective, single-center case series of the 333 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the third people’s hospital of Shenzhen. We recruited all the confirmed patients whose admission date was from January 10, 2020 to February 10, 2020. All 333 COVID-19 patients were classified as mild, moderate, severe or critically ill category at admission. The diagnostic standard and classifying criteria of COVID-19 were based on the interim guidance from the WHO [7].

Two cohorts were generated in our research: 323 patients with mild-moderate symptoms on admission were observed for at least 18 days to determine whether they exacerbated to severe-critically ill conditions (progressive group) or not (stable group). In addition, we analyze the other 10 patients left who were severe-critically ill from the beginning of admission separately.
