Abstract
Background and Objectives
The covid-19 epidemic leads to more mortality while creating health-treatment problems. Exact identification of the patients, evaluation of immunologic and hematologic parameters and their relationship is important in determining the treatment process. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between red blood cell indices and CRP and IL-6 in patients with covid-19.
Materials and Methods
In this descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, the data of 280 hospitalized patients with covid-19 in 3 Hamedan hospitals during 2020 and 2021 were entered in SPSS version 27 software. Data were analyzed using Chi square test, Spearman correlation coefficient, with the significance level (p< 0.05).
Results
By evaluation of the data of covid-19 patients, it was found that Hb, Hct, MCHC, RDW, and MCV indices with correlation coefficient of 0.16, 0.19, 0.16, 0.21, and 0.23 are related to IL-6 level significantly (p : 0.007, 0.002, 0.009, < 0.001, and < 0.001, respectively). Meanwhile, none of these indices have a significant relationship with the CRP level.
Conclusions
Accurate assessment of red blood cell indices and their relationship with immunological parameters could be helpful in term of choosing proper treatment method, predicting disease severity and clinical manifestations, determining required service level, and providing intensive care for patients.
