Halil","doi":"10.4274/ejgg.galenos.2022.2022-4-4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4274/ejgg.galenos.2022.2022-4-4","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: This study aimed to find out the prognostic effect of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score for 1-year mortality prediction in older (≥65 years) and younger (<65 years) hospitalized Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients, separately. Materials and Methods: This retrospective and the observational study included 368 patients who were admitted to a single tertiary care university hospital due to COVID-19 disease with positive severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction test. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to predict 1-year mortality prediction for the older and younger groups. Results: Among 368 patients, 112 (30.4%) patients were 65 years and older. There were 45 (12.2%) deaths at the end of the 1-year follow-up. The 1-year mortality rate was higher in the older group (23.2% vs 7.4%). When all patients were analyzed (n=368), PNI [hazard ratio (HR)=0.924, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.877-0.974, p=0.003] and CONUT (HR=1.423, 95% CI=1.194-1.696, p<0.001) scores were significantly associated with 1-year mortality in multivariable model. When older and younger groups were assessed separately;PNI and CONUT scores failed to estimate 1-year mortality in the older group. On the other hand, the independent estimating capacities of PNI (HR=0.899, 95% CI=0.836-0.966, p=0.004) and CONUT (HR=1.944, 95% CI=1.478-2.557, p<0.001) scores increased when the only younger group was taken into analysis. Conclusion: PNI and CONUT scores as indicators of nutritional and immune status, predicted 1-year mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. However, their prognostic effects in older patients with COVID-19 may be less prominent. Future, large sample studies are needed to provide data about geriatric COVID-19 patients. © Copyright 2022 by the Academic Geriatrics Society / European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology published by Galenos Publishing House.","PeriodicalId":341534,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122599208","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}

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine and the frequency of side effects in patients over 65 years of age with chronic renal failure. Materials and Methods: Patients with chronic renal failure over the age of 65 who applied to the nephrology outpatient clinic between 14.03.2021 and 15.04.2021 were included. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, whether they were vaccinated, and post-vaccination symptoms were recorded. Results: In our study, 112 patients with chronic renal failure were evaluated. 94% of the patients (105/12) reported a positive opinion about the vaccine. The most common cause of COVID-19 vaccine opposition was related to vaccine side effects (54%). Of the patients included in the study, 89 were vaccinated with CoronaVac. Side effects were seen in 23% of patients after at least one dose of CoronaVac. The most common side effects were uncontrolled blood pressure and pain at the injection site. In patients reporting adverse events after at least one dose of CoronaVac and 1st dose of vaccine;coronary vascular diseases (CVD) was significantly higher (p=0.012, p=0.001), patients receiving hemodialysis treatment had fewer adverse events (p=0.005, p=0.032), and injection site pain was more common in female patients (p=0.023, p=0.023). The most common adverse event after the 2nd dose was uncontrolled blood pressure and was significantly higher in female patients (p=0.023, p=0.001). Conclusion: Although the rate of vaccination against COVID-19 is high in individuals over 65 years of age with chronic kidney disease, the most common reason for vaccine opposition was vaccine side effects. In addition, although the frequency of side effects was lower in our study population, uncontrolled blood pressure was observed differently and it was observed that the presence of cardiovascular disease increased the frequency of side effects. © Copyright 2022 by the Academic Geriatrics Society / European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology published by Galenos Publishing House.","PeriodicalId":341534,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124388170","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}

Güner Oytun, Y. Öztürk, A. Okyar Baş, S. Ceylan, Burcu Balam Doğu, M. Cankurtaran, Meltem Gülhan Halil","doi":"10.4274/ejgg.galenos.2022.2022-2-1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4274/ejgg.galenos.2022.2022-2-1","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: Patients diagnosed with dementia are at increased risk for Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection since they are unable to perform hygiene and social distance due to difficulties recalling or their dependency on another person. Also, there is a strong correlation between mortality of COVID-19 and dementia. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the prevalence of COVID-19 in patients with dementia and their cognitive decline during a pandemic. Materials and Methods: A total of 210 patients diagnosed with dementia and followed up in the outpatient clinics of geriatrics in our university hospital were included in the study. These records were obtained from the hospital information system. Demographic data, comprehensive geriatric assessments, cognitive changes, COVID-19 infection status, and the dates of death were recorded. Results: Patients were divided into three groups: Mild, moderate, and severe dementia. COVID-19 prevalence was 11.9% in our study population. When we compared patients according to the history of COVID-19 infection status, there were no differences between the type and the stage of dementia between the COVID-19 infection negative and positive groups (p>0.05). Age and sex distribution were similar between these two groups (p>0.05). The prevalence of geriatric syndromes was similar in COVID-19 infection positive and negative groups. Furthermore, more than half of the patients in every stage of dementia had cognitive decline during the pandemic course. However cognitive decline rates were not different between COVID-19 positive and negative groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: One in every ten patients with dementia had COVID-19 infection to our results. According to our findings, there is no increase in the frequency of COVID-19 between stages of dementia, the restrictions due to the pandemic cause a decline in cognitive functions. During the pandemic, interventions to protect cognitive functions and periodic health control should not be interrupted for patients with dementia. © Copyright 2022 by the Academic Geriatrics Society / European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology published by Galenos Publishing House.","PeriodicalId":341534,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123817662","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}
