Correlation Between Prakriti (Body Constitution) and Severity of Structural Alterations in the Lungs of Patients With SARS-CoV-2: Protocol for a Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

SARS-CoV-2, a novel coronavirus, initially appeared in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019 and has infected more than 31 million people worldwide. Infection can range from asymptomatic to multiorgan failure requiring prompt treatment. Overall, 80% of patients with SARS-CoV-2 experienced mild to moderate illness, while 5% developed serious illness. Physicians can evaluate a patient's digestive system (Koshtha), digestive capacity (Agni), strength (Bala), and longevity (Ayu) using the body constitution (Deha Prakriti). It also helps doctors estimate a patient's illness risk, severity, disease activity scores, and hematological, pathological, and biochemical changes. The study investigated the association between body composition (Deha Prakriti) and severity, as shown by struc
