The Effect of CRP/Albumin, Platelet/Lymphocyte, SOFA and APACHE II in Predicting Mortality in Covid-19 Patients in Intensive Care Unit

Objectives: It is important to predict the prognosis during hospital admission of Covid-19 patients.The purpose of this study was to see how CRP/ Albumin (CAR) and Platelet/Lymphocyte (PLR) ratios, obtained from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) within the first 24 hours of their hospitalization with a Covid-19 diagnosis, predictmortality and how they correlated with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA).Methods: Using hospital records, records of 83 patients hospitalized in the ICU with a diagnosis of Covid-19 between 11.03.2020 and 01.01.2021 were retrospectively analyzed .Patients were divided into two groups discharged (Group I) and exits (ex) group (Group II).CAR and PLR were recorded during the first 24 hours of ICU admission, and APACHE II and SOFA scores were computed.The calculated CAR and PLR were correlated with APACHE II and SOFA scores and their association with mortality was investigated.Results: SOFA, APACHE II, PLO, and age were higher, and albumin was lower in patients in the mortal course (p<0.05).ROC analysis revealed that APACHE II and SOFA scores could be employed to estimate mortality.
