ABSTRACT
There is evidence that climate change is affecting COVID-19. We found that absolute humidity and temperature are associated with influenza epidemics and contribute to epidemic progression. In the tropics, SARS-CoV-2 appears to have higher survival and infection rates than influenza viruses. Interruption of aerosol transmission of influenza virus has been described with temperature fluctuations greater than 30°C. However, there is no definitive cure for COVID-19. Factors that influence COVID-19, such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), need to be identified. The aim of this study was to identify the correlation between the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and length of hospital stay in pregnant women with COVID-19. This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. Statistical test by unpaired T-test with p<0.05. A total of 34 subjects were taken, 16 in K1 and 18 in K2. Subjects had a mean age of 31.59 ± 8.67 years and the majority were in the third trimester. Unpaired T-test results showed no significant association between her NLR score and length of hospital stay (p = 0.749) in COVID-19 pregnant patients.
