The dataset of Longitiduanl laboratory data ‎of Qom COVID-19 Intensive unit care (QCOVICU) ‎was created based on the patients admitted to Shahid Beheshti-Amir al-Momenin Hospital of Qom city, in 2021. This registry includes information on COVID-19 patients, whose disease was confirmed based on the RT-PCR of SARS-COV2 between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. Data were retrospectively collected from electronic medical records and medical notes of healthcare providers. The dataset includes age, gender, RT-PCR SARS-COV2 variant, dates of admission, ICU admission, discharge or death, and laboratory data. Laboratory data were collected longitudinally at each time of blood sampling (maximum 10 data for each item of laboratory data), based on the Iranian Health authority provided standard laboratory data request times.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The dataset included a total of 200 patients in 2021, of which 94 were female and 106 were male. The mortality rate was 50.5% (101 deceased, 47 females and 52 males;  mean age of 69.12±16.92). CBC data were collected for an average of more than 60 patients each time (10 separate time assessments). ESR, CRP, creatinine, CPK, and LDH were also collected till the 10th serial assessment.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: The QCOVICU registry dataset has provided a longitudinal data set of CBC assessments of 200 COVID-19 patients with time-to-event data that could be utilized for survival analyses. Multiple assumptions and hypotheses could be evaluated on this registry data.</p> <p><strong>Declarations: </strong></p> <p><strong>Funding:</strong></p> <p>Qom University of Medical Sciences. </p> <p><strong>Conflicts of interest</strong></p> <p>None</p> <p><strong>Authors’ contributions</strong></p> <p>SM and RT wrote the study protocol, collected datasets and HS, MS, MB, RT, and SM, performed statistical analyses, and wrote the manuscript.</p> <p><strong>Acknowledgments</strong> ‎</p> <p>None.</p> <p><strong>Ethical considerations</strong></p> <p>The study was approved by the Institutional Review   Board of   Qom University of   Medical Sciences with the code IR.MUQ.REC.1401.095.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Updates in Emergency Medicine }, author={Tabaraii, Reihane and Mehrpour, Somayeh and Safdari, Hassan and Shakeri, Mansoureh and Bahadorzadeh, Mojdeh}, year={2023}, month={Mar.} }
