THE RELATIONSHIP OF CRP/ALBUMIN RATIO LEVEL AND PROGNOSIS IN PREGNANT COVID-19 PATIENTS
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The CRP/albumin ratio (CAR) is a recently defined parameter which represents the ratio of a positive acute phase reactant to a negative acute phase reactant. Recent studies have shown that the CRP/albumin ratio is a biomarker with prognostic value for various inflammatory disorders and serious diseases. With this study it is aimed to investigate the effect of CRP/albumin ratio in predicting the severity and prognosis of the disease in pregnant patients with more severe Covid-19 infection.

Detailed Description
Pregnant women are more susceptible to viral infections affecting the respiratory tract than non-pregnant women. Similar to non-pregnant patients, Covid-19 infection occurs with non-specific symptoms in pregnant patients. A computed tomography (CT) scan of lungs and several laboratory parameters are used to predict the prognosis of this infection, which starts with non-specific findings. Although it has been demonstrated that low-dose lung CT can be used safely in pregnant women, both clinicians and pregnant women tend to avoid tomography imaging due to its teratogenic effects
The CRP/albumin ratio (CAR) is a recently defined parameter which represents the ratio of a positive acute phase reactant to a negative acute phase reactant. It is an indicator of both the inflammatory state and the nutritional state, simultaneously. Recent studies have shown that the CRP/albumin ratio is a biomarker with prognostic value for various inflammatory disorders and serious diseases. With this study it is aimed to investigate the effect of CRP/albumin ratio in predicting the severity and prognosis of the disease in pregnant patients with more severe Covid-19 infection.
