Representation of NLR (neutrophil lymphocyte count ratio) values in coronavirus patients (Covid-19) by age group at Gatoel Mojokerto Hospital

Abstract

Currently the world is faced with the condition of the Corona virus disease pandemic 2019 (Covid-19) whose
cases are still increasing over time and widespread around the world. The Covid-19 pandemic is still a health
problem throughout the country, not least in Indonesia. Covid-19 is an acute respiratory disease caused by a new
type of coronavirus infection or later named Severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The purpose of
this study was to find out the difference in the results of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) between Covid-19
patients with productive age and and elderly age. In Covid-19 patients with elderly age has a high NLR value
above ≥3.13 with a percentage of 83% while in Covid-19 patients of productive age also has a high NLR value
above ≥3.13 by 75% but the value is still lower than in Covid-19 patients with elderly age. It can be concluded
that Covid-19 patients with elderly age and productive age have differences in NLR values although the same has
a high NLR value above ≥3.13 and based on the results of this study in Covid-19 patients with elderly age and
productive age have low lymphocyte values or experience lymphopia.
