Fig. 4From: Dehydration is associated with production of organic osmolytes and predicts physical long-term symptoms after COVID-19: a multicenter cohort studyPredictive validation was performed using an 80:20 split of the BQC19 dataset to test the accuracy of the effect of dehydration adjusted for age, sex and disease severity using ICU-admission. Maximal dehydration measured as estimated osmolality (eOSM = 2*Na+ + 2*K+ + Glucose + Urea) was a stronger predictor of physical long-COVID (A) as indicated by larger area under the ROC curve (AUC) than for mental long-COVID (B)Back to article page
