    Abstract

    To retrospectively analyse the clinical status of COVID 19 patients with CT and laboratory findings Method: A total of 250 RT PCR test positive patients data were collected during the period of March 2020 to June 2021. Results: Present study showed that patients who did not need oxygen on admission, 9% of patients had a severe CT score, 41% with moderate CT score and 51% with mild CT score. Those who needed oxygen 17% of patients had a severe CT score, 40% with moderate CT score and 43% with mild CT score. Study also showed that in those who needed ICU admission, 27% of patients had a severe CT score, 56% with moderate CT score and 17% with mild CT score. Laboratory parameters such as Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), Ferritin, C Reactive Protein (CRP) and D-Dimer showed a significant p value between severity categories. Conclusion: This study has shown that the CT severity score alone does not always have quantifiable relation to the clinical severity of the patient. In present study found laboratory parameters has no positive correlation between mild CT score, but with moderate and severe CT score scans, a significant correlation was found.
