The Role of Platelet Parameters in Predicting the Disease Severity of COVID-19 Patients: A Hospital-Based Study.

Background and objective Globally, a large number of people have been impacted by the extremely contagious coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, and several pieces of literature were published on hematological parameter changes in this infection, particularly focusing on leucocytes. In this study, we have analyzed the platelet parameters and platelet-leucocyte ratios in COVID-19 patients and correlated them with the disease severity. Methods The COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized during the second peak of the pandemic were assessed.
