The lymphocyte/CRP ratio has been studied many times in covid-19 patients and has been proven to be an indicator of mortality as well as poor prognosis. In this study, the role of the lymphocyte/procalcitonin ratio in predicting the hospitalization status of patients, detection of findings on CT, need for mechanical ventilation, mortality and survival is aimed to be determined. The lymphocyte/procalcitonin ratio was found to be the strongest predictor of mortality and poor prognosis, especially in patients over 65 years of age.
