dc.description.abstractAim: In this study, the usability of thoracic computed tomography (CT) in clinical decision making was investigated by comparing laboratory results of patients with probable and definite coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis according to CT imaging features. Material and Methods: Within the scope of this single-center retrospective clinical study, data of possible and definite cases of COVID-19 were scanned from the hospital electronic database and patient files. Laboratory and CT imaging results of the patients were obtained. Patients were divided into two groups as positive and negative according to their CT imaging results, and compared. Results: Of the 995 patients included in the study, 57% (n=567) were male, and the mean age was 45.7±20.2 years. It was found that 65.1% (n=648) of the patients had positive CT. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test result was found positive in 22.2% (n=144) of the CT positive patients, and 32.0% (n=111) of the CT negative patients, and it was statistically significant (p<0.001). In the logistic regression analysis, it was determined that C-reactive protein (CRP), lymphocyte count, ferritin, procalcitonin, D-dimer, lactate and RT-PCR were statistically significant with CT positivity. Conclusion: In this study, COVID-19 positive and probable patients were compared according to thoracic CT findings and the usability of CT for clinical decision making was investigated. It has been determined that thorax CT can be used to initiate the treatment of COVID-19 in patients with negative RT-PCR test results but positive CT findings and high biochemical parameters such as CRP, D-dimer, ferritin and lactate.en_US
