In this study, we aim to determine how laboratory parameters were related to the clinical courses of patients admitted to the Dicle University Faculty of Medicine Department of Paediatrics and Paediatric Intensive Care Unit with COVID-19 diagnoses from March 2020 to November 2021.
Clinical, biochemical and demographic characteristics of 220 patients between 0 and 16 years old with COVID-19 diagnoses at admission were analysed retrospectively.
We found that 57.3% of patients were male and 42.7% female, with a mean age of 107.8 ± 65.5 (range 1-192) months. Of the cases, 48.6% (n = 107) were asymptomatic, 35.5% (n = 78) were mild, 11.8% (n = 26) were moderately severe and 3.6% (n = 8) were severe. The patients' site of admission, mortality rates, C reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), ferritin, and fibrinogen levels differed significantly (p < 0.001).
It is important to learn about the clinical course of the disease by accurately interpreting the results of blood parameters and appropriate imaging studies.
在本研究中，我们旨在确定2020年3月至2021年11月期间，在狄克莱大学医学院儿科学与儿科重症监护病房收治的新冠肺炎确诊患儿中，实验室参数与临床病程之间的关系。
回顾性分析了220例入院时确诊为新冠肺炎的0至16岁患儿的临床、生化和人口统计学特征。
我们发现，57.3%的患者为男性，42.7%为女性，平均年龄为107.8±65.5（范围1 - 192）个月。其中，48.6%（n = 107）无症状，35.5%（n = 78）为轻症，11.8%（n = 26）为中重症，3.6%（n = 8）为重症。患者的入院科室、死亡率、C反应蛋白（CRP）、乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）、铁蛋白和纤维蛋白原水平存在显著差异（p < 0.001）。
通过准确解读血液参数结果和适当的影像学检查来了解疾病的临床病程非常重要。
