Study correlating lymphocyte to monocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio with the severity in COVID-19 patients: a cross sectional study

Background: The objective of this study was to classify COVID-19 patients into severe and non-severe groups correlate lymphocyte monocyte ratio platelet with the severity patients.Methods: It a cross sectional observational conducted on hundred admitted Victoria hospital, Department Medicine, Bangalore Medical College Research Institute, between June 2020 August 2020. Complete clinical data were taken examined thoroughly cases diagnosed classified as per interim guidelines World Health Organization (WHO) diagnosis treatment by Ministry Family Welfare, Government India. compared correlated lymphocyte-monocyte platelet-lymphocyte ratio. A p<0.05 considered significant. All analyses performed using Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software version 10.Results: sample size in our 100 patients. mean age 57.5 35 non COVID Among these 67% males 33% females. noted that, neutrophilia (median-88.5%) lymphocytopenia (median-6.5) seen among group. Also, (LMR) significantly low (p value-0.00*) (PLR) high statistically significant 19 patients.Conclusions: LMR, PLR different patients, so assessment may help identify risk at an early stage. In LMR showed acceptable efficiency separate group sensitivity 82.4% specificity 84.8%. Whereas 93.9% 64.7%.
