Amaç: İlk tanısı acil servis te yapılan Koronavirüs 2019 (COVID-19) hastalarda C- reaktif protein/albümin oranının (CAR) tanısal ve prognostik önemini
araştırması.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Burada sunduğumuz çalışma, tek merkezli, ileriye dönük gözlemsel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmaya toplam 745 katılımcı (385 hasta,
360 kişi) dâhil edildi. CAR, C-reaktif protein (CRP; mg/L) değerinin albümin değerine (gr) bölünmesiyle hesaplandı. Veriler MedCalc İstatistik Yazılımı
v12.7.0.0 (Oostende, Belçika) ve Student t testi, ki kare testi ve Pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanılarak analiz edildi. p<0.05 değeri istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Toplam 355 hasta yatarak tedavi edildi ve bunların 30’u ayaktan takip edildi. Hastanede yatan hastaların ve ayaktan hastaların ortalama CAR
değerleri sırasıyla 0.34±0.89 ve 0.39±0.72 idi (%95 güven aralığı [GA]: -0.31 ila 0.40; p = 0.796). 309 hasta koğuşlarda, 46 hasta ise yoğun bakım ünitelerinde
tedavi edilirken; ortalama CAR değerleri sırasıyla 0.33±0.92 ve 0.44±0.74 idi (%95 GA: -0.17 ila 0.39; p=0.449). CAR değeri arttıkça hastanede kalış
süresi de arttı (p< 0,0001). COVID-19 teşhisi için en iyi kesme noktasında CAR’ın %82.66 özgüllük, %69.72 duyarlılık, 4.02 pozitif olasılık ve 0.37 negatif
olasılığa sahip olduğu gösterildi.
Sonuç: Çalışmadaki COVID-19 hastalarının hastanede kalış süresi, ilk acil servise başvuru anında tespit edilen CAR değerleri ile yakından ilişkiliydi.rının hastanede kalış süresi, ilk acil servise başvuru anında tespit edilen CAR değerleri ile yakından ilişkiliydi.

Clinical Significance of CRP/Albumin Value on Hospitalization and Length of Hospital Stay of Patients with Coronavirus-19: A Prospective Study

Öz

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-
19) patients admitted for the first time to a hospital emergency department (ED).
Materials and methods: The study we report herein was a single-center, prospective observational study. A total of 745 participants (385 patients, 360
individuals) were included in the study. The CAR was calculated by dividing the C-reactive protein (CRP; mg/L) value by the albumin value (gr). The data
were analyzed using MedCalc Statistical Software v12.7.0.0 (Ostend, Belgium) and Student’s t-test, chi square test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. A
p-value of <0.05was considered statistically significant.
Results: A total of 355 patients were hospitalized, and 30 of them were followed as outpatients. The mean CAR values of the hospitalized patients and the
outpatients were 0.34±0.89 and 0.39±0.72 respectively (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.31 to 0.40; p=0.796). A 309 patients were hospitalized in wards
and 46, in intensive care units; their mean CAR values were 0.33±0.92 and 0.44±0.74, respectively (95% CI: -0.17 to 0.39; p=0.449). As the CAR value increased,
the length of hospital stay also increased (p<0.0001). At the best cut-off point for COVID-19 diagnosis, CAR was shown to have 82.66% specificity,
69.72% sensitivity, 4.02 positive likelihood, and 0.37 negative likelihood.
Conclusion: The length of stay in the hospital of the COVID-19 patients in the study was closely related to their CAR values obtained at the time of their
first ED admission.s closely related to their CAR values obtained at the time of their first ED admission.
