Patients information, including demographic information, clinical characteristics, and clinical outcomes, were obtained from electronic medical records. The results related to the complete blood count test for each patient were also recorded.\u0000Results: The median age of patients was 53 years, and 147(50.17%) were female. Thirty-seven patients were admitted to the ICU, and 42 patients died. The average of hematological parameters, except neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), in COVID-19 patients were within the normal range. We found that values of white blood cell count (WBC), NLR, and PLR in patients who died or were admitted to the ICU were significantly higher than in patients who were not admitted to ICU (P˂0.05). Moreover, our results indicated hemoglobin, hematocrit, and ESR levels were lower in patients who died than in patients who were not admitted to ICU (P˂0.05). No significant relationship was found between hematological parameters and the length of hospital stay in patients with COVID-19 (P˃0.05). \u0000Conclusion: The obtained results suggest that increased values of some hematological parameters, including WBC, NLR, and PLR, at the time of admission might predict poor clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients","PeriodicalId":235412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of North Khorasan University of Medical Scienses","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115440670","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}

Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the implementation of the post-exam feedback process in the biochemistry course with an evaluation approach for learning.\u0000Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 127 students of North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences, Bojnourd, Iran. Sampling was performed by census method. Data was collected using a demographic and educational form, students' experience, satisfaction, and acceptability questionnaire from the post-exam feedback session. After completing the Biochemistry final exam at the end of the semester, the feedback session was held for two hours. Then, two weeks after this session, the aforementioned questionnaires were completed. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS (version 24), and indices of central tendency, dispersion, and frequency distribution were measured.\u0000Results: The mean score of satisfaction and acceptability of the post-exam feedback session was measured at 4.22 ± 0.7. The highest average score of students' experience from participating in the post-exam feedback session was related to \"clarification of students' expectations,\" which was 4.44 ± 0.62. Moreover, the results showed that the students' experience, satisfaction, and acceptance of participating in the post-exam feedback session were higher than the expected average and optimal level.\u0000Conclusion: Planning to hold a post-exam feedback process as part of the lesson plan is associated with the satisfaction and acceptance of students. It is suggested that more studies be conducted on the implementation of the post-exam feedback process after the mid-semester exams","PeriodicalId":235412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of North Khorasan University of Medical Scienses","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125120326","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}
