Abstract

Objective: The main objective of the current study was to identify clinical and laboratory parameters associated with hypoxemia in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out in Farooq Hospital, West Wood, Lahore. A total of 188 COVID-19 positive patients admitted to the corona unit of our hospital were enrolled in this study. The diagnosis of COVID-19 was confirmed either by Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or clinical and imaging studies. Detailed demographic, clinical, laboratory and x-ray chest findings were recorded for each of these patients.

Results: Age, number of days in the hospital, and hypertension were found to be significant. Lymphocytes, neutrophil counts, urea, and C- Reactive Protein (CRP) were significantly associated with oxygen saturation levels, less than 92% in COVID-19 patients.

Conclusion: In this study, it was observed that hypoxemia was independently associated with clinical parameters and serum biomarkers. These may help/ guide in the clinical management of patients presenting with hypoxemia, particularly in a limited resource setting.
