Cycle Threshold (Ct) Value Trends in COVID-19: Analyzing Gender, Age, and Severity Factors Across Major Waves in India.

Key Points

• To analyze the trends in cycle threshold (Ct) values and their associations with gender, age, and disease severity during major COVID-19 waves in India.
• Analyzed Ct values across different demographics
• Assessed correlations with viral load and disease severity
• Monitored trends over major COVID-19 waves
• Ct values served as predictive markers for viral load
• Lower Ct values were associated with higher disease severity
• Trends showed significant variability across gender and age groups
