COMPARISON OF INFECTED LUNG VOLUME OF COVID-19 PATIENTS AND THEIR CLINIC AND LABORATORY DATA

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the healthy and infected area volumes elementary lesion characteristics in thorax computed tomography examinations of mild-moderate severe patient groups according clinical severity scoring determined by World Health Organization, compare obtained findings with laboratory data.Material Methods: A total 100 cases (59 males, 41 females; age range 18-95 years) were retrospectively randomly selected from patients who had non-contrast thoracic scan diagnosed Covid-19 pneumonia reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test. According scoring, classified as groups. Volumetric measurements made lungs using quantitative analyses. addition, (ground glass opacity, consolidation, air bronchogram) infiltration areas recorded. The relationship between radiological clinical-laboratory data statistically evaluated.Results: ranged 58.80±14.74 years; 52% category, 48% them category. Lung did not differ significantly disease findings, there a significant correlation subpleural reticulations bronchogram IL-6, D-dimer, ferritin, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio C-Reactive Protein values higher group than group.Conclusion: associated parameters are thought be an important indicator immune response that determines course disease.
