Abstract:

 

Introduction: Due to local and systemic pathological mechanisms, the laboratory parameters -especially hematological parameters of patients with gastrointestinal symptoms may differ from those without. We aimed to investigate the difference between the hematological parameters of COVID 19 patients with gastrointestinal symptoms and those without. 
Material and methods: Our study was designed as a retrospective case-control study. The case group consisted of COVID 19 patients with confirmed gastrointestinal symptoms. The control group consisted of COVID 19 patients without gastrointestinal symptoms. The hematological parameters of the patients were compared statistically.
Results: One hundred and thirty patients were included in the case group, and 130 patients were included in control group. There was no statistical difference between the groups in terms of white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, platelet count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean platelet volume, mean corpuscular volume, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (p values: 0.642, 0.987, 0.132, 0.835, 0.306, 0.430, 0.057, 0.735, 0.321, 0.031,  respectively)
Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the COVID 19 patients with gastrointestinal symptoms and those without in the terms of the hematological parameters.
