The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics and outcomes of the patients who undergo BAE during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic period. Methods: We retrospectively investigated patients that presented to the hospital with hemoptysis and received bronchial arterial embolization treatment during the pandemic period. Age, gender, history of previous diseases, and related data were collected. Results: The study was conducted with 11 patients whose 18.18% (n=2) were female and 81.81% (n=9) were male. The mean age of the patients is 61.27 +/- 10.94 and they stayed in hospital 21.18 +/- 19.59 days on average. Infection and bronchiectasis were seen as the leading cause of hemorhagee. Also, alveolar hemorrhage seen 81.8% (n=9) of the patients. Dilated bronchial arteries were seen on 72.7% (n=8) of the patients. Although 54.5% (n=6) of the patients admitted to the intensive care unit after the procedure, no complication or mortality seen in any patient during the procedure. Conclusion: Bronchial arterial embolization is an effective minimally invasive technique for treating hemoptysis. This invasive procedure could be applied safely during the pandemic period.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42649911","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}

This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), Modified Early Warning score (MEWS), National Early Warning score, 4C mortality, and COVID-GRAM critical illness risk score (COVID-GRAM), scoring systems in predicting 28-day mortality in adult patients with COVID-19.Methods: This single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study included patients presenting to a pandemic hospital between November 2021 and December 2021. Inclusion criteria were patients aged 18 years or older, patients with positive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test, and thoracic computed tomography imaging. The receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to examine the diagnostic accuracy of the investigated scoring systems in predicting 28-day mortality. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS and MedCalc software packages. A p-value of <0.5 was considered statistically significant.Results: The study was conducted in 846 patients. The median age of the patients included in the study was 49 (36-75) years, and the rate of male patients was 46.3% (n=392). The rate of pneumonia detection was 85.1% (n=720). The hospitalization rate was 49.6% (n=420), the admission rate to the intensive care unit was 7.4% (n=63), and the 28-day mortality rate was 5.7% (n=48). The highest area under the curve (AUC) values for 28-day mortality prediction was obtained from COVID-GRAM (AUC: 0.935) and 4C mortality (AUC: 0.922) scores, while the lowest AUC values were calculated in SIRS (AUC: 0.756) and MEWS (AUC: 0.805).Conclusion: According to our results, COVID-GRAM may be the first-choice scoring system in the emergency department for predicting the 28-day mortality associated with COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43195409","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}
