Clinical, laboratory, and radiological assessments were done. They were classified according to their CT grades into three groups: seven patients with a normal chest CT, 45 non-severe cases, and 48 severe cases.\u0000\u0000Results: Dyspnoea was the most common symptom among the severe cases (79.2%) and fever among non-severe cases (71.1%), while cough (85.7%) was the most common among cases with a normal CT. The age, NLR, C-reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimer of severe cases were significantly the highest, while the absolute lymphocytes were significantly the lowest. Highly significant positive correlations were found between CT grades with D-dimer, NLR, and CRP; significant positive correlation was found with age; and significant negative correlation with CT. Using receiver operating characteristic analysis, areas under the curve of D-dimer, NLR, age, CRP, ferritin, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio were 0.760, 0.698, 0.640, 0.627, 0.614, and 0.595, respectively. The optimal cut-off value of NLR was 2.50 with 0.74 specificity, 0.61 sensitivity, and 67.5 accuracy.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: NLR is a reliable and easy-to-use predictor of COVID-19 severity. NLR (>2.5) should prompt prescription of a chest CT as it could reveal essential lesions that influence further management.","PeriodicalId":93747,"journal":{"name":"EMJ.

Physical examination has its limitations in the precise assessment of volume status. The monitoring of blood volume, natriuretic peptides, and bioimpedance spectroscopy are explored as a guide for the ultrafiltration process during haemodialysis (HD) therapy. Unfortunately, none of these methods has shown promising results when used in isolation and has serious limitations. The point-of-care lung ultrasonography has emerged recently as an adjunct to physical examination as a non-invasive, radiation-free technique to estimate extravascular lung water. In this study, the authors aimed to compare the volume status assessment in end-stage renal disease patients on HD using conventional clinical methods, bio-electrical impedance, and chest ultrasound (US).\u0000\u0000Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 34 patients undergoing regular HD in the Department of Nephrology dialysis centre at the University College of Medical Sciences Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Delhi, India, a multi-speciality tertiary care centre. Parameters included to assess the dry weight of patients were bio-impedance spectroscopy and chest US, measured in two phases: 30 minutes before and 10–60 minutes following the HD session.\u0000\u0000Results: A total of 100 assessments were done on 34 patients over 6 months. The mean pre-HD extracellular water was 17.52±2.69 L and post-HD was 16.38±2.46 L, showing a significant reduction (<0.001). The bioimpedance analysis showed that 44% of the volume status assessments had fluid overload (≥1.1 L), even when the patients were considered to be in a state of clinical euvolemia, while 79% of the assessments had a Comet Score of ≥3 suggesting a fluid overload state. Most assessments showed a significant reduction in the number of B-lines (i.e., 62% [Comet Score of between 0–2]). The mean post-HD Comet Score was 1.73±1.36 (37%).\u0000\u0000Conclusion: Chest US to assess Comet Score is highly correlated with the clinical signs and symptoms. Lung Comet Scores can also be highly correlated with ultrafiltration volume, and thus can be used as a good marker for achieving dry weight in dialysis patients.","PeriodicalId":93747,"journal":{"name":"EMJ.
