The role of atherogenic index of plasma in the diagnosis long COVID

Objective: One of the well-known prolonged effects coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is gradual loss pulmonary functions, known as ‘long COVID’. Due to importance this deleterious condition, several studies have been conducted investigate predictors long COVID throughout hospital admission and after discharge. Recently introduced, atherogenic index plasma (AIP) has a better predictive value for prediction adverse events in COVID-19 patients compared other biomarkers. This study aimed explore role AIP among survivors.
 Material Methods: We evaluated 52 eligible with diagnosis 80 healthy control subjects prior history COVID-19. To confirm diagnosis, all underwent standardized questionnaire which recount presence or absence COVID-19-related complaints. All participants’ past medical records clinical, demographic characteristics were scanned comprehensive physical examination echocardiographic assessment
 Results: According our study, body surface area, Troponin T, NT-pro-BNP, independent COVID. was best predictor aforementioned parameters (p=0.005). determine cut-off predicting COVID, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve drawn determined 0.113 by using Youden index, (AUC:0.658, 95% CI:0.556-0.760, P=0.002).
 Conclusion: Our data indicate that an
