Abstract

Objective: Covid 19 can cause fatal pneumonia and serious complications. In the course of the
 disease the levels of different biochemical parameters increased and these parameters provide
 important information about the prognosis of the disease. The aim of this study was to
 investigate the relationship between biochemical parameters and length of stay and mortality in
 Covid 19 patients.
 Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 767 Covid 19 patients hospitalized in our
 hospital were included. The demographic characteristics, length of stay, comorbid diseases and
 biochemical parameters of the patients were scanned from the hospital's database and patient
 files and recorded. Patients were grouped according to the length of stay; 1st Group: 7 days and
 less, 2ndGroup: 8-10 days, 3rdGroup: 11-13 days, and 4thGroup: 14 days and more.
 Results: The mean CRP level was significantly higher in group 4 compared to group 1 (p =
 0.002). The mean levels of LDH, PRO_BNP, and procalcitonin were significantly higher in
 group 4 compared to group 1 and group 2 (p
