Materials and Methods: Data from 224 Covid-19 PCR positive patients who applied to the Covid emergency outpatient clinic of X University Training and Research Hospital between March 2021 and September 2021, whose thoracic CT was taken and laboratory parameters were studied, were used. Results: Of the 224 patients who participated in the study, 52.2% (n=117) were female patients, and 63.8% (n=143) were patients between the ages of 18-64. The CORADS classification of 53.6% (n=120) of the patients was 5-6 on thorax CT. As the lymphocyte level in the blood decreased, lung involvement increased on CT (p<0.004). As CRP, LDH, and fibrinogen levels in the blood increased, lung involvement increased (p<0.001). As the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, LDH/lymphocyte ratio and Platelet/lymphocyte ratio increased, uptake in CT increased (p<0.001, p<0.001 and p<0.002, respectively). As the lymphocyte/CRP ratio decreased, CT uptake increased (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Our study revealed that the increase in blood parameters such as lymphopenia, CRP, LDH, and fibrinogen increases lung involvement and increases hospitalization and intensive care unit admission. It should be kept in mind that lymphocyte, CRP, LDH and hematological rates, which are measured by investigating biochemical blood parameters in clinics where imaging is not possible, may be associated with lung involvement and prognosis of Covid-19 infection.}, number={3}, publisher={Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesi}
