Association of serum lipid profile ratios with disease severity and in-hospital outcome of patients with COVID-19

Background: The association of lipid ratios with the severity and hospital outcome COVID-19 patients has been a topic interest in medical community. Lipids, particularly cholesterol triglycerides, play significant role human body, including cell membrane formation, energy storage regulation various biological processes. aim this study was to assess ratio patients. Methods: This observational carried out COVID unit Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) among admitted from March 2021 February 2022. Results: Total were 138 65.9% males. Majority (27.5%) 41-50 age group. One third (31.2%) clinically severe COVID-19. There overall difference different except LDL/HDL group (p>0.05). correlation coefficients disease TC/HDL (rs)=.338, (rs)=.289 TG/HDL (rs)=.444. between having moderate weak LDL/HDL. outcomes use/development rebreather (rs)=.217, HFNC (rs)=.282, ARDS (rs)=.307, arrhythmia (rs) = .201, HDU/ICU (rs)=.200 ventilator (rs)=.072. development ARDS, use no other outcomes. (rs)=.211, (rs)=.132, (rs)=.286, (rs)=.106, (rs)=.064 (rs)=.028. (rs)=.427, (rs)=.271, (rs)=.502, (rs)=.088, (rs)=.158 =.041. also HFNC. No found Conclusion: From findings current study, can be concluded that are associated rebreather, BIRDEM Med J 2023; 13(2): 98-102
