Article Synopsis
- Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular complications, particularly in severe cases, though there is limited information on this topic.
- This study analyzed data from 373 patients with severe CAP to assess the prevalence, characteristics, and risk factors associated with acute cardiac events and their impact on mortality.
- Results indicated that 15% of patients experienced cardiac events, which were linked to older age, more severe illness, and higher in-hospital mortality rates, highlighting the need for awareness and monitoring in these patients.
The importance of PET/CT findings and hematological parameters in prediction of progression in sarcoidosis cases.
Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis
March 2020
We aimed to reveal the correlation of NLR rate, RDW and MPV values and with the findings of PET/CT regarding the prediction of disease progression and the clinical characteristics. The treatment naive sarcoidosis cases, of whose PET/CT have been taken due to mediastinal lymphadenopathy of whose diagnosis have been confirmed by biopsy, were included in the study. Hematological parameters, clinical, radiological and PET/CT findings are evaluated.
