Evaluation of Correlation between D-dimer Levels with Disease Severity in Patients with Covid-19 Referred to Hamedan Besat Hospital in 2021-2022
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction: The Covid-19 virus affects the hemostasis system in infected people by causing thrombosis and it increases the level of D_dimer. This study was designed and conducted for the evaluation of correlation between D-dimer levels with disease severity in patients with Covid-19 referred to Hamedan Besat hospital. Methods and Materials: 366 patients with Covid-19 referred to Besat Hospital in Hamadan were randomly selected in this cross-sectional and retrospective study. The severity of the disease was assessed as level 1 that is the need for intensive care and level 2 which means the need for hospital care. The collected data were analyzed through Pearson correlation and independent t-test using SPSS software version 24. Results: The mean level of D-dimer in patients was 1.18 ± 1.01 microgram per milliliter. Disease severity was observed in 179 patients (47.3%) at level 1 and it was observed in 187 patients (52.7%) at level 2. Furthermore, the mean level of D-dimer in patients with level 1 was significantly higher than patients in level 2 (P value: 0.0001). There was a significant direct relationship between D-dimer level and hospitalization time and D-dimer level with ICU admission time (P value: 0.0001). Discussion and Conclusion: D-dimer level is more correlates with disease severity and it impacts on duration of hospitalization and ICU hospitalization.

Background and purpose: Timely diagnosis of patients with suspected COVID-19 using chest Computed tomography (CT) scan is of great benefit in reducing the severity of the disease. Previous studies did not address this issue, so, this study aimed to investigate the findings of chest CT scan images and the severity of lung involvement in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Materials and methods...
