Abstract :Objectıve: In this study, we aim to compare the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) of patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection, who were hospitalized and discharged, and those who died. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 474 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 disease. Information of 56 patients who died and 418 patients with COVID-19 who were discharged were obtained from the hospital information management system (HIMS) and analyzed retrospectively. The relationship between BNP, white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil (NEU), lymphocyte (LYM), platelet (PLT), Procalcitonin (PCT), High Sensitive Troponin I (hs Tn I), D-dimer and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels in deceased patients and discharged patients researched. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in mortality between women and men (p=0.385). There was no statistically significant difference in BNP, WBC, NEU, LYM, platelet, PCT and hs Tn I values between those who died and those who were discharged. D-dimer and CRP values of those who died and discharged were statistically significant (p< 0.031 and 0.020, respectively). Conclusions: Increased levels of CRP and D-dimer were found to be associated with mortality. More comprehensive studies are needed on this subject.
