Abstract
Background: The role of laboratory parameters and the
relationship of them with radiology reports, CT scan and clinical
outcomes in screening of COVID-19 patients not been definitely
established, but this disease presented a major challenge in the field
of clinical tests, radiology reports, clinical outcomes that help to
monitoring and treatment COVID-19 disease.
Methods: This study was performed on 340 suspected COVID-19
patients, who presented to Chamran Hospital, Shiraz University of
Medical Sciences Shiraz, Iran from 20 February to 31 August, 2020.
Information each patient’s will be completed using a data collection
forms based on records. The evaluation of lungs involvement in CT scan
and their relationship with laboratory indicator including biochemical
and hematological factors, is the best scale for the severity and
prognosis of Covid 19 patients.
Results and Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated
ALT, AST, CRP, NEU, LDH, and Urea have very good accuracy in predicting
cases with positive RT-PCR for COVID-19, respectively. In this study we
shown the correlation of clinical and laboratory findings with CT-based
quantitative score of pulmonary involvement in COVID-19 pneumonia and
attempted that our findings could be usable to development future
clinical research associated with COVID-19 infection and show the
relationship of reports CT scan and clinical outcomes in the diagnosis
and severity of patients with COVID-19.
Keywords: Clinical Outcomes, laboratory findings,
coronaviruses, COVID- 19 infection, CT scan reports.
