Critical illness myopathy and neuropathy are associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality in intensive care units, .the investigators aimed to determine the decrease in muscle mass and risk factors that are important causes for the development of myopathy in COVID-19 (+) patients followed in intensive care unit. The study will also evaluate the relationships of patients withthe investigators intensive care-associated muscle weakness (ICU-AW) with other intensive care patient weight scores (SOFA, APACHE II, q SOFA). Sensitivity of anthropometric measurements and ultrasonographic measurements will be compared in the evaluation of sarcopenia. The length of hospital stay, mechanical ventilation time, patient outcomes (mortality/morbidity) information of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia followed in the intensive care unit will be evaluated.
