INVESTIGATION OF THE FREQUENCY OF COVID-19 CASES ACCORDING TO SOME VARIABLES: ADIYAMAN/GÖLBAŞI EXAMPLE

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between Covid-19, which has started to be seen in our country since 2021, and some variables. In this cross-sectional study, the data of individuals with positive Covid 19 tests (PCR and BT) in Gölbaşı district of Adıyaman province; (gender, age, blood group, marital status, height, weight and systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)) were used. The Classification Trees method was used in the investigation of the relationships between the contact type and the detected features. It was understood that a large portion (80%) of the individuals with a DBP value greater than 75 (>75) tested positive, and the SBP values ​​of the individuals in question should also be taken into consideration in the evaluation of the test results with a DBP value of ≤75. It was expected that the test results of a large portion of individuals with a DBP value of ≤75 and SBP values ​​of >125 would be negative, however, in the evaluation of the test results of individuals with a SBP value of ≤75 under the same conditions; It was concluded that individuals' weight, age and blood type should also be taken into consideration. While 74.4% of individuals with a DBP value of ≤75 and SBP values ​​of >125 weighing more than 75.5 kg are expected to test positive, more than half (58.8%) of individuals weighing ≤75 and aged over 31.5 with blood types ARh+, BRh+ and ABRh+ are expected to test positive, while 63.4% of individuals with other blood types are expected to test negative. Under the same conditions, while a large portion of individuals aged ≤31.5 with a SBP value of ≤115 are expected to test positive, a large portion of those with a SBP value of >115 are expected to test negative. As a result, it can be said that body weight, age and blood type should be taken into consideration along with SBP and DBP during the Covid-19 pandemic.
