Prognostic value of complete blood count parameters in COVID-19 patients

Abstract

Aim: To explore the prognostic value of certain complete blood count parameters and ratios in COVID-19 patients with the definitive diagnosis. Methods: We compared certain parameters of the complete blood count test, which are related to inflammation, between the inpatient/outpatient and the survivor/non-survivor groups to determine whether they have a prognostic role. Analyzes were performed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Parametric data were expressed as arithmetic mean±standard deviation, and nonparametric data were expressed as median (Q1-Q3). The relationship in categorical variables was examined with Chi-Square. Receiver Operative Characteristics (ROC) analysis determined cut-off values for mortality. P
