Description
Summary:Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a novel inflammation marker that useful in predicting prognosis of certain conditions. We aimed to study PNI of the outpatient and inpatient subjects with established Covid-19 and also aimed to compare PNI of deceased and survived Covid-19 patients. The patients with Covid-19 whom presented to outpatient or inpatient clinics of Abant Izzet Baysal University Hospital were enrolled to the study. PNI levels of the inpatients and outpatients, deceased and survived were compared. PNI values of deceased and survived in inpatients were also compared. Study population was consisted of 4419 subjects (2907 outpatients and 1512 inpatients). PNI of the inpatient (41.55 (36.42-47.1)) group was significantly lower than the PNI of the outpatient (51.95 (47.95-55.75)) subjects (p
