Amaç: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) birçok insanı olduğu kadar gebeleri de etkileyen bir pandemidir. Çalışmamızın amacı inflamatuar belirteçlerin gebelerde COVID-19 seyrine etkisini araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve yöntem: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pozitif olan 125 ve negatif olan 40 gebenin dahil edildiği bu kesitsel tipe tanımlayıcı çalışmada, COVID-19 olan hastalar oksijen satürasyonu, akciğer tutulumu bulgularına göre hafif orta ve ağır olarak gruplandırılmıştır. Fibirnojen, ferritin ve prokalsitonin değerleri karşılaştırılmıştır.
Bulgular: SARS-CoV-2 durumuna göre gebelerin ferritin (p=0,241) ve prokalsitonin (p=0,579) değerleri arasında da anlamlı fark saptanmazken, testi pozitif gebelerin fibrinojen değerleri anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,001). SARS-CoV-2 pozitif olan katılımcıları kendi içerisinde klinik durumuna hafif, orta ve ağır olarak gruplandırıp baktığımızda ise; fibrinojen (p<0,001) değerleri arasında anlamlı fark saptanmıştır. İkili karşılaştırmada klinik seyri hafif olan grupta fibrinojen değeri orta (p<0,001) ve ağır (p<0,001) olan gruptan, klinik seyri orta olan grubun fibrinojen değeri ise ağır olan gruptan anlamlı olarak düşük saptanmıştır (p=0,007)
Sonuç: Hastalığın ağırlığı arttıkça fibrinojen seviyelerinin de arttığını tespit ettik. Fibrinojen gebelerde COVID-19 klinik durumunun ağırlığı ile ilgili bir gösterge olabilir ancak bu bulguyu güçlendirmek için daha büyük örnekleme sahip prospektif, izleme dayalı çalışmalar gerekmektedir.

How do levels of ferritin, fibrinogen and procalcitonin affect the clinical course of COVID-19 in pregnant women?
Öz
Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) is a pandemic affecting pregnant women as well as lots of people. The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of inflammatory markers on the course of COVID-19 in pregnant women.
Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, which included 125 pregnant women who were positive for Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and 40 women who were negative, patients with COVID-19 were grouped as mild, moderate, and severe according to oxygen saturation, lung involvement findings. Fibrinogen, ferritin, and procalcitonin values of the participants were compared.
Results: While there was no significant difference between the ferritin (p = 0,241) and procalcitonin (p = 0,579) values of pregnant women according to the SARS-CoV-2 status, the fibrinogen values of pregnant women with positive test were found to be significantly higher (p<0,001). When we categorize the participants who are positive for SARS-CoV-2 as mild, moderate, and severe; a significant difference was found between fibrinogen (p<0,001) values. In paired comparison, the fibrinogen value of the group with mild disease was found to be significantly lower than the group with moderate (p<0,001) and severe (p<0,001), and the group with a moderate disease compared to the group with severe (p = 0,007).
Conclusion: We found that as the severity of the disease increased, fibrinogen levels also increased. Fibrinogen may be an indicator of the severity of the COVID-19 clinical course in pregnant women, but prospective, follow-up studies with larger samples are required to reinforce this finding.
