Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the laboratory findings in terms of comorbidity, taking into account the length of hospital stay and death rates of COVID-19 patients.Method: Forty-four patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in intensive care unit and 71 patients hospitalized in the ward were included in this study. Whole blood parameters, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Procalcitonin, Ferritin, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Troponin-I, Creatine, Prothrombin time (PT), Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) International normalized ratio (INR) and D-Dimer results of the patients between hospitalization day and death rate correlation analysis was performed. In addition, the effects of these parameters on comorbid diseases were evaluated.Results: PT, INR, CRP, Ferritin, Procalcitonin, ESR, D-Dimer, Troponin-I, White blood cell, Neutrophil, Monocyte Lymphocyte Ratio, Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio levels of the patients were positively correlated with hospitalization day and death rate, while Lymphocyte levels showed a negative correlation. It also showed a positive correlation with ex rate and Monocyte, Creatine and Platelet levels.Conclusion: It was determined that patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Pneumonia comorbidities and Cardiovascular Disease had higher hospitalization days and intensive care unit admission rates than patients without comorbidity. In addition, patients with Diabetes, Cancer and Chronic Kidney Failure were found to have higher rates of intensive care admission compared to patients without comorbidity.
