Abstract
COVID‐19 infections have caused millions of deaths around the world. This study gives a detailed insight into the demographic and clinico‐laboratory profile of deaths among COVID‐19 patients admitted in a tertiary care COVID hospital. The present study was done to evaluate prognostic role of NLR in COVID‐19 positive patients for early identification and grading of symptomatic patients who might need critical care support. The present retrospective observational study on 96 symptomatic patients was carried out in KPC Medical College and Hospital, Jadavpur comparatively assessing laboratory investigations. Medical records of 96 COVID‐19 positive patients were studied. The mean age of the study population was 55.5±13.7 years for Females and 58.2±13.9 for Males ranging from 20‐89 years. The majority (53.31%) were in the age group of 50‐69 years. Significant association was found between high NLR and covid‐19 death. An early admission and optimal management during the initial period of COVID 19 disease is critical and may help in decreasing the mortality. Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) as a promising prognostic indicator in COVID 19 positive patients, demonstrating a significant association between NLR>5.0 at admission and in hospital mortality.
