Could Chest Computed Tomography Scores Assess the Inflammatory Markers and Disease Severity of Coronavirus Disease-2019 Patients?

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between chest computed tomography (CT) scores and inflammatory markers in patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Methods: A total of 259 patients who were confirmed to be COVID-19 positive with polymerase chain reaction test and...

Description
Summary:Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between chest computed tomography (CT) scores and inflammatory markers in patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Methods: A total of 259 patients who were confirmed to be COVID-19 positive with polymerase chain reaction test and CT findings, between 20 March and 30 May 2020, were included in our study. The patients were divided into two groups as critical and moderate according to their clinical conditions. CT findings, complete blood account and C-reactive protein (CRP) were recorded and statistically analysed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted in terms of CT scores, white blood cells, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and CRP for the patients in the moderate and critical groups. Results: CT scores (p
