Özet: Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of main pulmonary artery diameter (MPAD), which is evaluated in patients when first admitted to the intensive care unit due to COVID-19, on mortality. Material and Method: Thoracic computed tomography examinations performed during the initial admission to hospital of patients who were treated in the intensive care unit between October 1, 2020, and June 1, 2021, were evaluated retrospectively. Cox regression analysis was performed with the program R-Project to evaluate the relationship between MPAD and mortality. Results: No significant correlation was found between MPAD and mortality in models used with or without adjusting for age and sex (respectively P: 0.890 and P: 0.920). Conclusion: The MPAD value measured at the initial admission of COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit is not a parameter that can be used to predict mortality.
