Abstract

Objective:
This study compared the HOMA-IR values of COVID-19 patients with COVID-19-negative patients.
Method:
A total of 2116 COVID-19 + patients, 1186 men and 850 women, and 1127 COVID-19 - patients, 313 men and 814 women, were included in the study. The study was conducted on patients with definite COVID-19 + and - between June 1, 2020 and July 31, 2020. The patients' data were obtained retrospectively from the hospital information management system. The diagnosis of COVID-19 in the included patients was made by a real-time polymerase chain reaction and computed tomography lung scanning. The relationship between the HOMA IR values of COVID-19 + and - patients was compared.
Results:
The HOMA IR value of patients who were positive without gender discrimination was found to be significantly higher in patients with COVİD-19 + patients. No significant gender differences were detected in HOMA IR values in COVİD-19 + patients. The HOMA IR values of men were found to be significantly higher in patients with COVID-19 – patients in differences according to gender. A positive correlation was found between age and HOMA IR in COVID-19 patients. No significant relationship was found between age and HOMA IR in COVİD-19 + patients.
Conclusion:
It was determined that there was no significant difference in HOMA-IR values in COVID-19 + patients according to gender, and the HOMA-IR values of patients with COVID-19 + were found to be significantly higher without gender discrimination.
