Author(s): Yousra Zouine*, Meriam Benzalim and Soumaya Alj
Background: COVID-19, brought on by SARS-CoV-2, has spread worldwide. It progresses quickly and brings
on serious and deadly complications. It would be helpful in screening, classifying patients, and avoiding severe
complications to link radiological severity with useful biomarkers like CRP, leucocytes, lymphocytes, and D-Dimer.
Aims and objectives: To identify patients at risk of fatal complications, the research looked into the relationship
between inflammatory biomarker levels and HRCT chest findings.
Materials and methods: The Ibn Tofail hospital COVID-19 dedicated center undertook this retrospective
monocentric observational research. The research included 177 patients>18 years old who were admitted between
September 1, 2020 and November 30, 2020 with a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19... View more»
