Background/aim: Early warning scores (EWS), widely used around the world but not yet in Turkey, are composed of physiological parameters designed to determine potentially worsening patients to perform necessary interventions in time. The aim is to determine the national EWS (NEWS) of the patients to assess the relation between this score and length of hospital stay (LOHS), transfer to the ICU, 24-h and 28-day mortality rates, and the frequency of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).
Materials And Methods: NEWS of all the patients in the internal medicine clinics were calculated via a point prevalence study.
Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of refractive errors in Turkish medical students as well as to determine the change in refractive status of medical students within 1 year. Besides general refractive characteristics of the students, the possible relationship between the occurrence of myopia and several factors was also determined.
Methods: Two hundred and seven medical students (114 female/93 male) were checked for their refractive status as determined by cycloplegic autorefraction.
Background/aims: The aim of this study was to compare renal size, shape and volume in hypertensive and nonhypertensive patients with end-stage renal failure.
Methods: Patients with volume overload and diabetes mellitus, myeloma, amyloidosis, or polycystic renal disease were all excluded. Fifty patients undergoing hemodialysis for the first time were grouped as normotensive (23/50) and hypertensive (27/50).
