Article Synopsis
- This study investigates out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) data in Türkiye, focusing on prognostic outcomes and influencing factors for patients aged 18 and older who were treated at 28 medical centers.
- It found a survival rate upon hospital discharge of only 4.4%, with a significant majority of patients not receiving bystander CPR, which was only performed in 2.9% of cases.
- Key predictors for better outcomes included male gender, initial shockable heart rhythms, shorter prehospital CPR duration, and no need for CPR in the emergency department, highlighting the importance of timely and effective CPR in emergencies.

Objective: To determine the performance of lactate clearance to predict prognosis in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).
Study Design: Observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Emergency Medicine, Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, from January 2018 to 2022.
Background: It is critical to determine the importance of laboratory tests on the mortality of Covid-19 disease. Our aim is to search the effect of D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, and lymphocyte count in the algorithm organized by our Ministry of Health in the diagnosis and treatment of Covid-19 on mortality.
Methods: Two hundred forty-five patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with a diagnosis of Covid-19 pneumonia between March 15, 2020, and May 15, 2020.
Background: Status epilepticus (SE) is a medical emergency with high mortality rates. Of all SE's, 7% are caused by a brain tumor. Clinical guidelines on the management of SE do not make a distinction between tumor-related SE and SE due to other causes.
