The Comparison of scoring systems: SOFA, APACHE-II, LODS, MODS, and SAPS-II in critically ill elderly sepsis patients.

Introduction: The elderly population is unique and the prognostic scoring systems developed for the adult population need to be validated. We evaluated the predictive value of frequently used scoring systems on mortality in critically ill elderly sepsis patients.

Methodology: In this single-center, observational, prospective study, critically ill elderly sepsis patients were evaluated.

IS LYMPHOPENIA A PREDICTOR OF MORTALITY IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19?

In this study, we evaluated the relation between the presence of lymphopenia and the need of intensive care unit (ICU) or mortality. A total of 1670 COVID-19 patients were divided according to the severity of lymphopenia developing at the time of COVID-19 infection. According to the symptoms and need of ICU, the infection was classified as mild or severe.

Analysis of COVID-19 infection in hemodialysis and kidney transplant patients in a pandemic hospital.

Introduction: The mortality rate for any infection is often higher in patients with a kidney transplant (KT) and hemodialysis (HD), which may also be the case in novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Methodology: In this study, the demographic, clinic, laboratory, and radiologic signs of KT and HD patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection between 11th March 2020 and 11th March 2021 were evaluated prospectively.

Results: In the present study, 72 HD (median age, 57.

Successful Treatment of COVID-19-Related Immune- Complex Glomerulonephritis, Case Report.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) , proteinuria in the nephrotic or subnephrotic range and hematuria might be seen in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. In this case study we present a 59 years old manwho was diagnosed with immune-complex glomerulonephritis after development of rapidly progressive kidney failure accompanied by pulmonary hemorrhage, 2 months after COVID-19 infection. The patient was hospitalised with the diagnosis of acute kidney injury and nephrotic syndrome.

Assessment of Risk Factors for Mortality in Patients in Medical Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary Hospital.

Background: Knowing the risk factors for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) facilitates patient's management. The goal of this study was to determine the risk agents that influence our medical ICU mortality.

Patients And Methods: This 11-month retrospective trial was managed in the medical ICU.

Risk factors affecting ICU admission in COVID-19 patients; Could air temperature be an effective factor?

Aim: As the COVID-19 pandemic has been spreading rapidly all over the world, there are plenty of ongoing works to shed on light to unknown factors related to disease. One of the factors questioned is also to be the factors affecting the disease course. In this study, our aim is to determine the factors that affect the course of the disease in the hospitalised patients because of COVID-19 infection and to reveal whether the seasonal change has an effect on the disease course.
