Journal Title: Acta Medica Ruha - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

Introductionand Objective:In this study, it was aimed to analyze the factors affecting the management of patients with suspected COVID-19 who applied to the emergency department with chest pain and were diagnosed with non-STEMI.Method:A total of 69 patients who applied to Sakarya Training and Research Hospital between 01/05/2020 –30/04/2021 and were diagnosed with non-STEMI with a suspicion of COVID-19 have been analyzed retrospectively. The demographic characteristics (age, gender), comorbid diseases, laboratory parameters (hemogram, biochemistry and serological test results), thorax computerized tomography (CT) findings (consistent or incompatible with COVID-19), angiography results, intervention requirements and mortality status were recorded. The diagnosis of COVID-19 has been confirmed via positive RT-PCR test.Results:When laboratory parameters were compared according to CT results, NLR, CRP and Ferritin values were statistically higher in patients with a CT image compatible with COVID-19 (p=0.026, p=0.002, p<0.001). The CRP result of the patients with a COVID-19 compatible CT imaging and positive RT-PCR result wasstatistically significantly higher than the control group (p=0.040). When the laboratory parameters of the patients were compared according to the RT-PCR results, the PLR and CRP values of the patients with positive RT-PCR were statistically significantly higher (p=0.027, p=0.001, respectively). It was determined that patients with statistically low NLR, PLR and CRP values (p=0.046, p=0.023, p=0.005) and patients with statistically significantly high lymphocyte and troponin values required Coronary Angiography intervention (p=0.013, p=0.001). In addition, it was determined that patients whose CT was not compatible with COVID-19 and whose RT-PCR test was negative required more Coronary Angiography intervention (p=0.004, p=0.003, respectively).Conclusion:PLR and CRP values can be used in the differential diagnosis in the presence of suspected COVID-19 in patients who present to the emergency department with chest pain and are diagnosed with non-STEMI.
