All the patients included in the study had tested positive for COVID-19 in their real-time polymerase chain reaction test. The study included patients with COVID-19 who developed cytokine storms and were treated in the ICU. The patients were divided into two groups those who applied cytokine filter or not. The demographic data and laboratory findings of the patients were recorded. The patient outcomes were categorized as discharged or deceased. Results: The study included 149 patients.
