Özet
Pregnancy carries a significant risk for coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) due to natural immunosuppression. A previous study from our center has shown that the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)/lymphocyte ratio (LLR) can be used in the early diagnosis of COVID-19 and predicting mortality. Based on this, we aimed to determine the effect of LLR on early detection of critical pregnant women and mortality in COVID-19. The data of 145 patients who were admitted to our hospital between March and December 2020; diagnosed with COVID-19 and hospitalized, were retrospectively analyzed. The median gestation period was 31 weeks (range: 5-41), 30.3% (n: 44) gave birth and 68.3% (n: 99) were pregnant. Median LLR was 0.13 (range: 0.04-0.70). The rate of cough (47% vs. 22.8%; p=0.003) was found to be high in patients with LLR>0.13. The patients were divided into subgroups. The proportion of patients without active complaints was higher in the Q1, followed by the Q4. The proportion of patients with an initial complaint of cough increased as LLR from Q1 to Q4, the distribution of other complaints did not differ between the quartiles. The higher rate of cough in the group with high LLR indicates that it may be an important indicator of lung involvement during pregnancy. The highest rate of non-treatment follow-up in the lowest LLR group proved that the LLR value at the time of diagnosis can be used as an important clinical marker in pregnant women. © 2022 De Gruyter.
