Aim: Coronavirus disease-2019 caused an epidemic that started in China about two years ago but affected the whole world. It was aimed to evaluate patients followed up with coronavirus disease-2019 infection, to determine risk factors and indicators for severe infection. Material and Methods: Patients who received treatment as inpatient with coronavirus disease-2019 infection between March 15- June 01 2020 were investigated. Patients were divided into two groups according to their oxygen saturation; patients with oxygen saturation over 90% were group 1, patients with 90% or less were determined as group 2. This two groups were compared in terms of aggravating risk factors. Results: In this study, 90 patients (46 female, 44 male) were included. Moderate-severe pneumonic involvement in computed tomography of thorax (p=0.002) and high fever (p<0.001) were thought to be indicators for severe infection. Presence of chronic disease (p=0.018) and asthma (p=0.041) were found to be aggravating risk factors. High levels of tests such as C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ferritin, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, lactate dehydrogenase (p<0.001), procalcitonin, D-dimer, creatine kinase, triglyceride, and low levels of tests such as lymphocytes, hemoglobin were thought to indicate severe disease. Conclusion: Parameters such as low level of lymphocyte and high level of C-reactive protein, D-dimer, ferritin are frequently used as indicators of poor prognosis. However, we also believe that high level of procalcitonin, lactate dehydrogenase, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, creatine kinase and triglyceride, low level of hemoglobin, in addition the presence of asthma and high fever may be indicators of poor prognosis.
