Medical files, which included the results of complete blood count (CBC), calculated mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio (MPR) and neutrophils-to-lymphocytes ratio (NLR) parameters, coagulation profile and D-dimer test, of 96 (64 male and 32 female) COVID-19-infected patients admitted to the intensive care unit were reviewed. Associations between the test results and COVID-19 infection outcomes (discharged [DC] or passed away [PA]) were measured.Results: The results of the current study demonstrate overall significant differences in CBC parameters between PA group as compared to DC group (P < 0.05). The PA group had a significantly elevated MPR (10.15± 12.16 vs 4.04± 1.5; P < 0.01) and NLR (18.29± 19.82 vs 7.35± 9.68; P < 0.01) as compared to the DC group, suggesting an association between these parameters and mortality. Odds ratios analysis also showed that adjustment for demographic variables and comorbidities did not weaken the observed association.Conclusion: Elevated MPR and NLR are associated with poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients and could be useful as therapy management indicators.Keywords: COVID-19, NLR, MPR, ICU, CBC, mortality |
