Abstract

Background: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute viral respiratory illness. It has been a global pandemic causing millions of deaths worldwide for more than one and half years. In our study, we will investigate the role of hematological parameters in predicting the prognosis of COVID-19 so that severely ill patients can be assessed early and managed accordingly. Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the role of hematological parameters in predicting the prognosis of COVID-19 patients. Methods: This study was conducted atthe Department of Laboratory Medicine, BSMMU, Shahbagh, Dhaka. In this study hematological and biochemical parameters were measured. Both levels were measured by automated hematology analyzer ‘Sysmex 4000XN’ and automated biochemistry analyzer Dimension EXL with LM. Results: The result of this research might help clinicians to predict the progression of disease and to prevent undue mortality by ensuring appropriate treatment.
