Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to differentiate between COVID-19 and other respiratory viral infections in critically ill children to prioritize care and avoid neglecting non-COVID cases.
- Conducted in 24 pediatric intensive care units, the research evaluated radiological findings in 225 patients from March to May 2020, with 81 confirmed COVID-19 cases.
- Results showed that chest X-rays of COVID-19 patients were more likely to appear normal, while other viruses like rhinovirus showed distinct patterns, indicating non-specific radiological findings in COVID-19.
Background: In this retrospective study the effects of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio (MPV/PC) values as well as C‑reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels on the severity and mortality in critically ill child trauma cases were evaluated.
Methods: A total of 80 trauma cases aged 31 days to 16 years that were followed-up in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) were included in the study. The data of the patients on the first day of hospitalization (T1), the median day of intensive care admission (T2), and before discharge or exitus (T3) were analyzed.
Objectives: To analyze the course of seasonal viral infections of respiratory tract in patients hospitalized in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) of 16 centers in Turkey.
Materials And Methods: It is a retrospective, observational, and multicenter study conducted in 16 tertiary PICUs in Turkey includes a total of 302 children with viral cause in the nasal swab which required PICU admission with no interventions.
Results: Median age of patients was 12 months.
