Abstract

The aim of the present study was to assess the Correlation between Neutrophil Lymphocytes Ratio (NLR) and Severity, Progression & Outcome of Covid-19 disease. Methods: The Prospective, Cross-Sectional, Analytical study was conducted at OPD/IPD patients of Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur. Patients with COVID-19 RTPCR positive of OPD/IPD at Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur were included. For the study, 103 patients of Covid-19 Positive were considered. Results: The study was carried out in 103 COVID patients. Out of total patients, 56 i.e. 54.37% were of age group 50-69 and 28(27.18%) of age 30-49 years.15.53% patients were of age more and 70 years and only 2.91% patients were observed under age of 30 years. Out of 103 patients, 71(68.93%) were males and 32(31.07%) were females. Regarding place of admission, 59(57.28%) were in ward and 44 (42.72%) were in ICU. Out of 103 patients, 69 (66.99%) patients had moderate CT severity score, 28(27.18%) had mild CT severity score and 6 (5.83%) had severe CT score. Fever, cough, shortness of breath and weakness were found to be the most common symptoms. Sore throat, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, body ache, cold, chest pain, abdomen pain and loss of taste were also seen in some cases. Conclusion: It was concluded that Neutrophil-Lymphocytes Ratio (NLR) has significant correlation with Clinical profile, Progression of disease and Outcome in Covid-19 and Neutrophil Lymphocytes Ratio (NLR) also had significant correlation with Biochemical markers, Radiological findings and Co-morbidities.
