ABSTRACT
Aim:
To investigate the relationship between pancreatic steatosis (PS) assessed on computed tomography (CT) and COVID-19 prognosis. Materials &methods:
This retrospective study covers 396 patients with COVID-19 (mean age 52.50 ± 16.86 years), who underwent unenhanced chest CT. PS was compared with clinical findings, comorbidities, requirements for hospitalization, intubation and intensive care unit (ICU), length of hospitalization and death.Results:
PS was found to be strongly correlated with the severity of clinical findings and hospitalization rates (p < 0.001). In hospitalized patients, length of hospitalization (p = 0.002) and rates of ICU requirement (p = 0.003) were higher in patients with PS.Conclusion:
PS, correlated with clinical severity and hospitalization requirement, is an independent risk factor for COVID-19.
