In this study, we evaluated the effects of physical activity (PA) at COVID-19 pandemic on the metabolic control of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: Age, sex, blood pressure, comorbidity, anthropometric and sociodemographic data of 6-18 years old 82 patients with T1DM were recorded. Averages of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profiles, and daily insulin dose during the pandemic and a year prior were also recorded. With \"Physical Activity Questionnaire-A/C\" PA and screen time during the pandemic and a year prior were questioned. Patients were divided into 2 subgroups: normal weighted (group 1) and overweighted/obese (group 2) and were compared. Results: Of the 82 patients, 47 were girls and mean age was 12.2±3.2 years. Group 1 had 64, group 2 had 18 patients and no difference was observed in terms of age, sex, comorbidity and sociodemographic data between the groups. There was a significant increase in screen time, the number of parents staying at home with children and body mass index (BMI) standard devation (SD), and a significant decrease in PA, blood pressure SD and low-density lipoprotein levels, but there was no change in HbA1c levels at the pandemic in both groups. The insulin dose was increased in group 1 at pandemic. There was a negative correlation between PA and the insulin dose. Conclusion: During the pandemic, PA of patients with T1DM decreased, screen time, the number of parents staying at home with children and BMI SD was increased, but their metabolic controls did not deteriorate. This result was attributed to the fact that the support of the family might be much more decisive for metabolic control during a pandemic.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48684984","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}

We examined interventional procedures, some of which we consider critical and some that we apply very frequently in emergency departments. We analyzed the correlation of interventions such as endotracheal intubation, central venous catheterization, tube thoracostomy, nasogastric tube placement, bladder catheterization, incision repairs applied in emergency departments with the admissions to the emergency departments, the quantitative changes over the years, and the effect of the pandemic process on both emergency admissions and these interventions. Methods: In this study, which was planned as a retrospective descriptive study, the data of the patients who admitted to the emergency departments of the 2nd and 3rd level public hospitals in Türkiye, between March 2017 and March 2021 have been discussed. The annual mean value of the data between the 1-year pandemic period March 11, 2020 when the pandemic started in our country until March 11, 2021, and the data between March 11, 2017 and March 11, 2020, in the pre-pandemic period, were examined and these periods were compared. The data were recorded on the spreadsheet program and their percentage changes were calculated using the statistical formulas of the spreadsheet program. Results: Between 2017 and 2020, there was a continuous increase in the emergency service examinations of 2nd and 3rd level public hospitals, and the number of examinations decreased to 93.5 million patients with the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The number of endotracheal intubations increased by 11.6% during the pandemic period. The number of central venous catheters applied during the pandemic period decreased by 16.2% compared with the 3-year average before the pandemic. Tube thoracostomy decreased by 0.13%, bladder catheter application by 3.2%, nasogastric tube application and incision repair decreased by 26.6% during the pandemic period. Conclusion: In the first 1-year period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the average emergency service applications, incision repair, nasogastric tube application, bladder catheterization, tube thoracostomy and central venous catheterization applications decreased during the pandemic period compared to the 3-year period before the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49043941","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}
