The C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND LIPOPROTEINS ASSOCIATED WITH CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT IN WORKERS WITH POST COVID-19 COMORBILITY IN A HOSPITAL, LIMA 2023

Abstract

Summary

Introduction: Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) worldwide is a major public health problem due to the disabilities and consequences they leave after an event. This research proposes to predict stroke through analytical assessment of the levels of C-Reactive Protein and Lipoproteins.

Objectives: Determine the level of association between the levels of C-Reactive Protein and Lipoproteins with Stroke in workers with post-COVID-19 comorbidity.

Methods: The type of research was cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational, in which dosages were carried out in the laboratory of the Víctor Larco Herrera hospital. The metabolites analyzed were: Ultrasensitive C-Reactive Protein, and Lipoproteins. 60 post-COVID 19 workers with signs and symptoms of stroke were evaluated. The data obtained were subjected to SPSS version 25 statistical analysis.

Results: Of the 60 workers, 78.4% presented C-Reactive Protein >0.3 mg/dl, subjected to Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient, there is a significant association moderated by rs =0.513, p =0. 001 < 0.05 68.33%, in HDL lipoproteins <40 mg/dl., subjected to Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient, there is a significant association moderated by rs =0.632, p =0. 001 < 0. 05. between HDL Lipoprotein-Cholesterol and stroke.

Conclusions: A significant association was found between the levels of C-Reactive Protein and Lipoproteins with Stroke in workers with post-COVID-19 comorbidity.
