The Effect of Out-of-Hours Admission on Mortality in Patients Who Underwent Thrombectomy Due to Ischemic Stroke.

Background: It is important to investigate the factors that may delay the diagnosis and treatment process of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate whether in-hospital mortality increased in patients who presented to the emergency department out-of-hours and underwent thrombectomy.

Methods: A total of 59 patients who applied to the emergency department between January 1, 2018 and November 1, 2021 and underwent thrombectomy due to ischemic stroke were included in the study.

An Evaluation of the National Early Warning Score 2 and the Laboratory Data Decision Tree Early Warning Score in Predicting Mortality in Geriatric Patients.

Background: Due to the high rate of geriatric patient visits, scoring systems are needed to predict increasing mortality rates.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the in-hospital mortality prediction power of the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) and the Laboratory Data Decision Tree Early Warning Score (LDT-EWS), which consists of frequently performed laboratory parameters.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 651 geriatric patients who visited the emergency department (ED), were not discharged on the same day from ED, and were hospitalized.

The Role of Procalcitonin/Albumin Ratio and CRP/Albumin Ratio in Predicting In-hospital Mortality in COVID-19 Patients.

Background: Hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have higher mortality rates. Parameters to predict mortality are needed. Therefore, we investigated the power of procalcitonin/albumin ratio (PAR) and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) to predict in-hospital mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

The role of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

Objectives: We aimed to assist in the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) with the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR).

Background: Diagnosis of CVST is difficult.

Methods: Patients, who visited the emergency department between March 1, 2013 and March 1, 2021 and underwent magnetic resonance (MR) venography were included.

The Role of NEWS2 + Lactate + D-Dimer in Predicting Intensive Care Unit Admission and In-Hospital Mortality of COVID-19 Patients.

Background: We investigated the parameters of National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) + lactate + D-dimer in predicting the intensive care unit (ICU) admission and in-hospital mortality in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Methods: Patients, who applied to the emergency department of a tertiary university hospital and were taken to the COVID-19 zone with suspected COVID-19 between March 2020 and June 2020, were retrospectively examined. In this study, 244 patients, who were hospitalized and had positive polymerase chain reaction test results, were included.

Comparison of Endotracheal Intubations Performed With Direct Laryngoscopy and Video Laryngoscopy Scenarios With and Without Compression: A Manikin-Simulated Study.

Background: Optimal management for trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is a clinical conundrum. In conjunction with the transfusion of fresh-frozen plasma (FFP), additional administration of prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) was proposed to bring about further coagulative benefit. However, investigations evaluating the efficacy as well as corresponding side effects were scarce and inconsistent.

Predictive value of D-dimer/albumin ratio and fibrinogen/albumin ratio for in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19.

Introduction: Due to the high mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there are difficulties in the managing emergency department. We investigated whether the D-dimer/albumin ratio (DAR) and fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) predict mortality in the COVID-19 patients.

Methods: A total of 717 COVID-19 patients who were brought to the emergency department from March to October 2020 were included in the study.

The role of the BUN/albumin ratio in predicting mortality in COVID-19 patients in the emergency department.

Introduction: Due to the high mortality and spread rates of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there are currently serious challenges in emergency department management. As such, we investigated whether the blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/albumin ratio (BAR) predicts mortality in the COVID-19 patients in the emergency department.

Methods: A total of 602 COVID-19 patients who were brought to the emergency department within the period from March to September 2020 were included in the study.

NLR and CRP to albumin ratio as a predictor of in-hospital mortality in the geriatric ED patients.

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio (CAR), which are obtained from the first laboratory values of the elderly patients at admission to the emergency department (ED), in predicting in-hospital mortality.

Methods: This retrospective observational study includes the patients aged 65 and above who applied to the emergency department for two months. The patients' neutrophil, lymphocyte, C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, NLR and CAR values were recorded.

Bag-Valve-Mask versus Laryngeal Mask Airway Ventilation in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation with Continuous Compressions: A Simulation Study.

Introduction: The 2017 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) guideline recommends that Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers can perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with synchronous or asynchronous ventilation until an advanced airway has been placed. In the current literature, limited data on CPR performed with continuous compressions and asynchronous ventilation with bag-valve-mask (BVM) are available.

Study Objective: In this study, researchers aimed to compare the effectiveness of asynchronous BVM and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) ventilation during CPR with continuous chest compressions.

Blood urea nitrogen to albumin ratio is a predictor of in-hospital mortality in older emergency department patients.

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the first measured blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/albumin ratio in the emergency department (ED) as a predictor of in-hospital mortality in older ED patients.

Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at a university hospital ED. Consecutive patients aged 65 and over who visited the ED in a three-month period were included in the study.

Presenting symptoms of older emergency department patients: a single-center experience of 10,692 patients in Turkey.

: In this study, we aimed: (1) to evaluate the presenting symptoms of older emergency department (ED) patients within a 12-month period, (2) to compare the differences in presenting symptoms between three age groups, and (3) to evaluate the seasonal variations in the presenting symptoms. : This retrospective single-centered observational study was conducted at the ED of a university hospital in older ED patients with yellow and red triage code. Consecutive patients aged 65 and older admitted to ED in the study period were included in the study.
