Abstract

Objective: To investigate acute limb ischemia (ALI) incidence, characteristics, and clinical outcomes at Basra Tertiary Hospital during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Methodology: This cross-sectional investigation included 53 COVID-19-infected patients with limb ischemia in Al-Sader teaching hospital from April 2020 to May 2022. Each patient's gender, age, smoking status, and medical history like diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and respiratory failure were recorded. Results: Mean age of patients was 63 ± 8 years. Out of 53 patients, 88.7% were males and most (67.9%) were 60 years old or more. 75.5 of patients were smokers, 50.9%, 39.6%, 22.6%, 28.3% had diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and respiratory failure, respectively. There was a significant association between embolectomy, actylase anticoagulant, death and amputation. 84.6% of patients with embolectomy had amputation while 80% who took actylase anticoagulant had no amputation. Conclusion: In covid-19 related ALI, amputation was common in embolectomy patients while it was rare in patients who received actylase. Most of deceased patients had amputations.

伊拉克巴士拉省与COVID-19相关的急性肢体缺血

目的:了解新冠肺炎大流行期间巴士拉三级医院急性肢体缺血(ALI)的发病率、特点及临床结局。方法:对Al-Sader教学医院2020年4月至2022年5月收治的53例肢体缺血感染的新冠肺炎患者进行横断面调查。记录每位患者的性别、年龄、吸烟状况以及糖尿病、高血压、高胆固醇血症、呼吸衰竭等病史。结果:患者平均年龄63±8岁。53例患者中，88.7%为男性，大多数(67.9%)为60岁及以上。75.5%的患者为吸烟者，50.9%、39.6%、22.6%、28.3%的患者患有糖尿病、高血压、高胆固醇血症和呼吸衰竭。栓子切除术、乙酰化酶抗凝、死亡和截肢之间存在显著相关性。栓塞切除术患者截肢率为84.6%，而服用乙酰化酶抗凝剂患者无截肢率为80%。结论:在与covid-19相关的ALI中，截肢在栓塞切除术患者中很常见，而在接受酰基化酶治疗的患者中很少见。大多数死者都截肢了。
