Hematological findings of COVID-19 patients at the time of
admission
The comparison of hematological parameters at the time of admission of
patients who respond to treatment and can be discharged and patients who
do not respond to treatment and have mortality were depicted in table 1.
Median age was significantly higher in patients who do not respond to
treatment and have mortality (p<0.001). Most of the patients
with mortality were males (p=0.001). There was a statistically
significant difference in the parameters other than monocyte and
basophil among the hemogram parameters checked at the time of
presentation. Neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio was significantly higher in
patients with mortality (p<0.001). In addition, when we
evaluated ferritin (p<0.001), D-dimer (p<0.001) and
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (p<0.001), among other parameters,
mortality was found to be significantly higher in both parameters at the
time of admission to hospital. Among the other biochemical parameters of
the patients, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatine kinase (CK), urea
and uric acid were found to be statistically significantly higher at the
time of admission to the hospital in patients with mortality, while
albumin was found to be statistically significantly lower
(p<0.001).
