Despite an increasing understanding of the disease mechanisms and numerous studies, no drug with satisfactory efficacy has been identified to date, especially one which would protect against a severe course of infection. What is apparent, however, is the dependence of target treatment efficacy on the timing of the implementation of therapeutic interventions. One of the breakthroughs in understanding the pathomechanism of COVI D\-19 has bee n the association of symptoms occurring in patients with cytokine storm. A cytokine storm is a pathological immune system response triggered by infectious or non\-infectious diseases. In addition to currently available vaccinations, early identification of factors that predict the course of infection, respiratory distress and the need for mechanical ventilation, is a key issue in preventing severe complications of SARS\-CoV\-2 infection. ldentifying predictors of an unfavorable course of the disease by evaluating individual laboratory tests and indicators of inflammation, will allow timely treatment of vulnerable patients. The aim of this study was to clinically analyze patients hospitalized for respiratory fai Iure due to SARS\-CoV\-2 infection in the lntensive Care Unit of the University Hospital in Cracow over a 12\-mont"]
