Study design
As the standard, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was
performed for high-risk patients with COVID-19. In line with HRCT
results, while patients who have observed opacity in bilateral frosted
glass density showing peripheral placement in the foreground, sub
segmental consolidation or linear opacities, paving stone view, inverse
halo sign were evaluated as typical findings; patients with concordant
clinical complaints, even if they had radiologically atypical findings,
were hospitalized. After the hospitalization of the patients,
hematological parameters, biochemical parameters to include liver and
kidney function tests, clotting parameters, ferritin, D-Dimer,
troponin-i, CRP, and arterial blood gas parameters were analysed. The
current parameters of the patients were repeated daily.
