Value of thiol and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) in predicting mortality in serious COVID-19 pneumonia.

Background/aim: Viral infections of the respiratory tract are generally related to many factors such as excessive production of cytokines, inflammation, cellular death, redox imbalance or oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to determine the serum levels of thiol and IMA in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia to evaluate oxidative stress.

Study Design: This was a prospective, sectional cohort study conducted at a pandemics hospital between 01.

Prognostic value of heparin-binding protein for mortality in severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

The study investigated heparin-binding protein (HBP) levels in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and their relation to prognosis. A total of 134 patients with serious COVID-19 pneumonia were prospectively analyzed. HBP levels were statistically compared between both the patient and healthy control groups and within the patient group itself.

The Relationship between Routine Blood Parameters and the Prognosis of COVID-19 Patients in the Emergency Department.

The aim of this study is to investigate the routine blood parameters of COVID-19 patients at the time of admission to the emergency department and their relationship with the severity of the disease and prognosis. A total of 500 patients, who were diagnosed with severe COVID-19 and hospitalized in the intensive care unit between 01.04.

Prognostic importance of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in critically ill patients: short- and long-term outcomes.

Study Objective: The number of critically ill patients admitted to the emergency department increases daily. To decrease mortality, interventions and treatments should be conducted in a timely manner. It has been found that the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is related to mortality in some disease groups, such as acute coronary syndrome and pulmonary emboli.
