Prognostic value of GRACE risk score in patients hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019.

Objective: COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten human health as novel mutant variants emerge and disease severity ranges from asymptomatic to fatal. Thus, studies are needed to identify the patients with ICU need as well as those who have subsequent mortality. Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score is a validated score in acute coronary syndrome.

The association between nondipper pattern and perioperative hypertension in patients with controlled hypertension.

Background: Perioperative hypertension is a frequent complication even in preoperatively normotensive or controlled hypertensive patients and there is a lack of data regarding the effect of nondipping pattern on perioperative hypertension.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible effect of nondipping blood pressure pattern on the risk of perioperative hypertension.

Materials And Methods: 234 hypertensive patients who underwent surgery with general anesthesia were evaluated prospectively.

Prognostic significance of cardiac injury in COVID-19 patients with and without coronary artery disease.

Objective: COVID-19 is a disease with high mortality, and risk factors for worse clinical outcome have not been well-defined yet. The aim of this study is to delineate the prognostic importance of presence of concomitant cardiac injury on admission in patients with COVID-19.

Methods: For this multi-center retrospective study, data of consecutive patients who were treated for COVID-19 between 20 March and 20 April 2020 were collected.
