Effect of Education on Symptom Management and Control in Cancer Patients Receiving Palliative Care.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of an educational intervention on cancer patients receiving palliative care and their caregivers concerning symptom management and family needs.

Ferritin/lymphocyte percentage ratio to predict the severity and mortality of COVID-19.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between ferritin/lymphocyte percentage ratio (FLPR) with clinical and radiological disease severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with patients who had polymerase chain reaction positive results for COVID-19. We calculated FLPRs from laboratory tests taken during emergency clinic admission.

Examination of clinical conditions and chest CT images of Covid-19 cases in Turkey; single center study.

Background: In this study, we aim to study the clinical features and chest CT findings of the patients, COVID-19 diagnosis of which are verified.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on RT-PCR (+) COVID-19 patients who were examined in our hospital's emergency department between March 11, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Results: 326 patients were included in this retrospective study in total.

A new predictor for indicating clinical severity and prognosis in COVID-19 patients: Frontal QRS-T angle.

Objective: COVID-19; It spread rapidly around the world and led to a global pandemic. Indicators of poor prognosis are important in the treatment and follow-up of COVID-19 patients and have always been a matter of interest to researchers. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between frontal QRS-T angle values and clinical severity and prognosis in COVID-19 patients.

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 3334 cases with prediagnosis coronavirus disease - 2019 (COVID-19) in Turkey.

Aim: This study aims to analyse the epidemiological and clinical features of the patients admitted to the hospital with the prediagnosis of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) in Turkey.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, epidemiological and clinical features, laboratory markers, radiological features, therapeutic approaches, and survival conditions of the patients with the prediagnosis of COVID-19 from March 11th to June 30th, 2020 have been analysed and reported. The data of the cases were divided into four groups and then compared with each other: first group includes confirmed cases with positive reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and chest computed tomography (CT) imaging results considered as COVID-19 lung involvement, second group includes the clinically diagnosed cases with negative RT-PCR and positive CT imaging abnormalities, third group includes mild and asymptomatic cases with positive RT-PCR and negative CT findings, fourth group includes suspected cases with negative RT-PCR and negative CT findings.
