Abstract :The study by Turan et al. [1] explores the relationship between psychiatric symptoms and inflammatory markers in COVID-19 inpatients over a 2-month follow-up period. The research highlights the importance of monitoring psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and sleep quality during the COVID-19 process and their correlation with inflammatory parameters. The study found that patients with a history of psychiatric diagnosis had significantly higher platelet (PLT) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) values. Additionally, hospitalization duration was positively correlated with NLR, PLR, Ferritin, D-Dimer, and CRP values, while negatively correlated with lymphocyte count. The study underscores the need for continuous psychiatric care during and after hospitalization for COVID-19 patients. However, the study has limitations, including a small sample size, lack of a control group, and short follow-up duration. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods is recommended to validate these findings.
