ABSTRACT
Background:
Covid-19 was fulminant and had a rapid spread in China and many other areas around the globe. This is a life threatening problem at present as it causes the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS-CoV). Aim(s) To explore the diagnostic value of hematological parameters in COVID-19 patients. StudyDesign:
Comparative Cross-Sectional Study.Methodology:
Patients (n=200) having COVID-19 were enrolled. All patients had CBC and inflammatory markers. Various hematological markers were used as prognostic markers. SPSS software, v 23 analyzed data. Independent t-test and Chi square were applied and p value of <0.05 was taken significant. Result(s) Mean age for patients having COVID was 47+/- 15.48 years. Mean values of hematological parameters and platelet count were significantly low among COVID patients when compared with non-COVID patients thus having significant difference. Practical Implication This study highlighted simple, cost-effective hematological parameters that can be useful diagnostic tools for COVI-19. This study indicated that routine tests can guide towards disease like COVID-19. Conclusion(s) We concluded that hematological parameters (TLC, ANC, AMC, NLR and platelet count) play a vital role as diagnostic tool for COVID-19 patients.
