The Prognostic Significance of Lactate Dehydrogenase Albumin Ratio in Elderly COVID-19 Patients

Objective: An acute respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus emerged in December 2019. This associated with the quickly spread across world, leading to significant fatalities. Reliable predictors of mortality and severity are therefore needed order decide on clinical follow-up or earlier intervention. study was performed around hypothesis that LDH/ALB ratio would yield more sensitive results predicting potential relationship between patients COVID-19 aged over 65.Methods: 65 presenting tertiary emergency department August October 2021, were investigated this single-center, retrospective study. All diagnosed included. The population constituted following application inclusion exclusion criteria. Pulmonary involvement percentages laboratory parameters compared against patient thoracic tomography.Results: patients’ lactate dehydrogenase/albumin ratios status evaluated. optimal cut-off value for 9.6 (AUC:0.815, sensitivity 75.9%, specificity 76.3%, p=0.001). pulmonary also examined. severe 11.2 (AUC:0.946, 93.6%, 87.4%, p=0.001).Conclusion: In conclusion, could be used predict elderly patients.
