This study aims toexamine the relationship between SP-D level and coronavirus disease (COVID-19) severity.Methods: 80 patients (30 with mild disease and 50 with severe/critical COVID-19), and 50 healthy volunteerswere enrolled in the study. SP-D levels were analyzed by ELISA in serum samples.Results: The median of SP-D was found to be 2.47 (1.67-7.79) ng/ml in mild disease and 5.65 (3.09-16.55) ng/ml in severe/critical disease groups, while 2.89 (10.8-6.24) ng/ml in the healthy controls. The differences in SP-Dlevels between the severe/critical disease group compared to both mild disease and control groups were foundstatistically significant (p=0.007 and 0.001, respectively). ROC analysis showed greater AUC for the serumSP-D levels of the severe/critical COVID-19 patients compared to mild COVID-19 disease patients (AUC=0,691,95% CI=0.56-0,822; p=0.004). Furthermore, SP-D levels were 86% sensitive and 51.6% specific at 2.44 ng/mllevel (p=0.004) to detect severe/critical patients.Conclusion: SP-D levels is useful for COVID-19 patients in the prediction of clinical severity and prognosis.SP-D is a valuable biomarker for predicting the clinical severity and prognosis. KW - Serum surfactant protein D KW - COVID-19 KW - pneumonia KW - pnömoni N2 - Amaç: Serum surfaktan protein D (SP-D) vücutta viral enfeksiyona karşı koruma, bakteriyel ve fungal klirens,apoptotik hücrelerin temizlenmesi ve inflamasyonun baskılanması gibi roller oynar. Bu çalışma, SP-D düzeyi ilekoronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19) şiddeti arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya 80 hasta (30 hafif hastalığı ve 50 ağır/kritik COVID-19) ve 50 sağlıklı gönüllü dahiledildi. Serum örneklerinde SP-D seviyeleri ELISA ile analiz edildi.Bulgular: SP-D düzeyi ortanca değeri hafif hastalıkta 2,47 (1,67-7,79) ng/ml, ağır/kritik hastalık gruplarında5,65 (3,09-16,55) ng/ml iken, sağlıklı control grubunda 2,89 (10,8-6,24) ng/ml olarak bulundu. Ağır/kritik hastalıkgrubu hem hafif hastalık hem de kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında SP-D düzeylerindeki farklılıklar istatistikselolarak anlamlı bulundu (sırasıyla p=0,007 ve 0,001). ROC analizi, hafif COVID-19 hastalığı hastalarına kıyaslaşiddetli/kritik COVID-19 hastalarında serum SP-D seviyeleri için eğri altında kalan alan daha yüksek saptandı(AUC=0.691, %95 CI=0,56-0.822; p=0,004). Ayrıca, ağır/kritik hastaları saptamak için SP-D düzeyleri 2,44 ng/ml düzeyinde (p=0,004) %86 duyarlı ve %51,6 özgül saptandı.Sonuç: SP-D seviyeleri, COVID-19 hastaları için klinik şiddeti ve prognozu tahmin etmede faydalıdır. SP-D,klinik şiddeti ve prognozu tahmin etmek için değerli bir biyobelirteçtir. CR - 1. CDC. 2019 Novel Coronavirus, Wuhan, China. CDC.
