Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between QTc interval and laboratory parameters in COVID-19 patients before and after the treatment. Materials and Methods: Forty-three COVID-19 patients who had baseline and follow-up ECG findings and laboratory reports were evaluated and 40 patients were included in the study. Results: Among 40 patients, 16 were women and 24 were men. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and corrected QT (QTc) interval were significantly higher in females than males. After the treatment, a significant fall in CRP and ferritin values, and significantly prolonged QTc interval were seen. A significant positive correlation was observed between QTc interval and age, LDH levels, neutrophil and leukocyte count, NLR, magnesium levels, and heart rate of the patients prior to treatment. A positive correlation was observed between increased QTc interval and decreased LDH levels and NLR after treatment. Conclusion: QTc prolongation was associated with increased inflammatory markers, increased NLR and LDH levels before and after treatment in COVID-19 patients. The increase in the QTc interval was correlated with the reduction in LDH levels and NLR with treatment. |
