| Popis: | Background: The struggle of humanity with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, which affected the whole world and caused severe social and health crises, continues without deceleration. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the abnormal laboratory parameters upon admission and the intensity of lung involvement using chest computerized tomography severity score (CT-SS). Methods: This single-center study evaluated a total of 242 patients who were admitted to our hospital due to COVID-19 with positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results. The patients were divided into three groups of no involvement on thorax CT images, mild involvement, and moderate-severe involvement. Results: The mean ages of groups 1 (n=42), 2 (n=123), and 3 (n=77) were 38±10.6, 56.3±16, and 61±15.6 years, respectively (P |
