Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19’da pnömoni şiddeti ile yağlı karaciğer hastalığı arasında korelasyon olup olmadığını araştırmaktır.
Materyal ve Metot: Bu çalışmada nazofarengeal sürüntü örneklerine göre COVID-19 pozitif olduğu doğrulanan 168 hastanın göğüs bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) görüntüleri değerlendirildi. BT görüntülerinde pnömoninin şiddeti ve hepatik steatoz varlığı değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Hastaların yaşları 26 ile 89 arasında olup, yaş ortalaması 63.6 ± 12.4 yıl idi. Hastaların 101’i (%60.1) erkekti. 51 (%30.4) hastada hepatik steatoz gözlendi. BT’de pnömoni şiddeti ile hepatik steatoz arasında anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p = 0.715). COVID-19 nedeniyle ölen hastalarda hepatik steatoz varlığında iyileşen hastalara göre anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p = 0.938).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pnömonisinin şiddeti ile hepatik steatoz arasında bir ilişki olmadığını ortaya koymuştur.
Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate whether there is a correlation between the severity of pneumonia and fatty liver disease in COVID-19.
Material and Method: In this study chest computed tomography (CT) images of 168 patients who were confirmed to be COVID-19 positive according to nasopharyngeal swab specimens were evaluated. The severity of pneumonia and the presence of hepatic steatosis were evaluated on CT images.
Results: The patients were aged between 26 and 89, and the mean age was 63.6 ± 12.4 years. 101 (60.1%) of the patients were male. Hepatic steatosis was observed in 51 (30.4%) patients. No significant difference between the severity of pneumonia and hepatic steatosis on CT (p = 0.715) was found. No significant difference was found in the presence of hepatic steatosis in patients who died because of COVID-19 compared to patients who recovered (p = 0.938).
Conclusion:This study revealed that there is no relationship between the severity of COVID-19 pneumonia and hepatic steatosis.
