This disease associated with the novel coronavirus quickly spread across the world, leading to significant fatalities. Reliable predictors of disease mortality and severity are therefore needed in order to decide on clinical follow-up or earlier clinical intervention. This study was performed around the hypothesis that the LDH/ALB ratio would yield more sensitive results in predicting the potential relationship between disease severity and mortality in patients with COVID-19 aged over 65. \u0000METHODS: COVID-19 patients aged over 65 presenting to a tertiary emergency department between August and October 2021, were investigated in this single-center, retrospective study. All patients over 65 presenting to the emergency department and diagnosed with COVID-19 were included. The study population was constituted following the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pulmonary involvement percentages and laboratory parameters were compared against patient mortality and thoracic tomography. \u0000RESULTS: The relationship between patients’ lactate dehydrogenase/albumin ratios and mortality status was evaluated. The optimal cut-off value for the lactate dehydrogenase/albumin ratio in predicting mortality was 9.6 (AUC:0.815, sensitivity 75.9%, specificity 76.3%, p=0.001). The relationship between patients’ lactate dehydrogenase/albumin ratios and severity of pulmonary involvement was also examined. The cut-off value for severe pulmonary involvement was 11.2 (AUC:0.946, sensitivity 93.6%, specificity 87.4%, p=0.001). \u0000CONCLUSION: In conclusion, LDH/ALB ratio could be used to predict mortality and severity of pulmonary involvement in elderly COVID-19 patients.","PeriodicalId":166758,"journal":{"name":"Middle Black Sea Journal of Health Science","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123178870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those who had variceal bleeding during endoscopy, those whose hospital stay was shorter than 24 hours, those who did not undergo endoscopy, and those who underwent endoscopy after 24 hours were excluded from the study. Clinical findings, routine laboratory test results, and imaging findings of the patients were retrospectively reviewed through the hospital’s records system. \u0000Result: A total of 252 patients were enrolled in the study. At admission, 30.2% (76) of patients were at clinically high risk of death or rebleeding, 71.8% had melena, and 51.2% had hematemesis. While 72 (28.6%) of the patients had high-risk endoscopic stigmata, 89 (35.3%) had low-risk endoscopic stigmata. The median hospital stay was 6 (1-91) days. In-hospital mortality occurred in 8 (3.2%) cases, rebleeding developed in 16 (6.3%) cases, endoscopic intervention was required in 103 (40.9%) cases, and prolonged hospital stay was required in 43 (17.1%) cases.

This study was conducted to evaluate menstrual cycle, premenstrual syndrome and anxiety in young girls with or without COVID-19 disease. \u0000Methods: In this descriptive and comparative study, 216 young girls infected with COVID-19 in the last 6 months were compared with 634 young girls who were not infected yet. “Personal Description Form”, “Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS)” and “State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)” were used to collect data. \u0000Results: In the study, it was determined that the mean scores of PMSS and STAI of young girls who had COVID-19 disease were higher than those who did not. It was determined that the difference between the mean scores of PMSS and STAI of young girls who had COVID-19 was statistically significant, while the difference between the mean scores of PMSS and STAI of young girls who did not have COVID-19 disease was not statistically significant. The difference between the prolongation of the two cycle intervals and the reduction of menstrual bleeding in young girls with and without COVID-19 disease was found to be statistically significant. \u0000Conclusion: As a result, it can be recommended to diagnose risk factors and to apply the necessary physical and psychological midwifery approaches in order to prevent the menstrual cycle, which is accepted as a physiological and psychological process, from deviating from its normal characteristics during the COVID-19 process and in the case of diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":166758,"journal":{"name":"Middle Black Sea Journal of Health Science","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128027477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
