A cross sectional study evaluating the relationship of acne to androgenetic alopecia subtype and severity.

The circulating androgens have a role in the pathogenesis of both acne vulgaris and androgenetic alopecia; an association between these two have been found previously. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of the severity of acne vulgaris lesions to the subtype of AGA; and to validate the relationship between severities of acne vulgaris and AGA. This study was conducted cross-sectionally at five different dermatology clinics.

Extended length of stay after elective ascending aortic surgery and associated risk factors.

Objective: Surgery on the ascending aorta incurs greater risk than other cardiac procedures. The primary aim of this study is to identify pre-operative and operative risk factors that play a role in extended length of stay (LOS) after elective surgery for ascending aortic aneurysms. The secondary aim is to determine post-operative outcomes associated with extended LOS.

APACHE II score predicts in-hospital mortality more accurately than inflammatory indices in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Aim    This study evaluated the prognostic ability of the APACHE II score and compared it with inflammatory indices in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Material and Methods    A total of 525 patients with ACS were retrospectively enrolled in the study. APACHE II scores were calculated and C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) were recorded.

Predictive outcomes of APACHE II and expanded SAPS II mortality scoring systems in coronary care unit.

Objective: We investigated the predictive values of the expanded Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II and Acute Physiologic Score and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in predicting in-hospital mortality in coronary care unit (CCU) patients.

Methods: In this study, expanded SAPS II and APACHE II scores were calculated in the CCU of a single-center tertiary hospital. Patients admitted to CCU with any cardivascular indication were included in the study.

Changes in antimicrobial resistance and outcomes of health care-associated infections.

To describe the change in the epidemiology of health care-associated infections (HAI), resistance and predictors of fatality we conducted a nationwide study in 24 hospitals between 2015 and 2018. The 30-day fatality rate was 22% in 2015 and increased to 25% in 2018. In BSI, a significant increasing trend was observed for Candida and Enterococcus.
