Methods: A total of 118 adolescents reached via Google e-forms, participated in the study. The affective reactivity index-parent-report, hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattention sub-scale of Turgay-DSM-IV-S, revised child anxiety and depression scales-parent version, and the pediatric QoL inventory were utilized for psychosocial symptoms' evaluation. Results: Compared to the pre-pandemic period, a significant increase in adolescents' attention problems, hyperactivity/impulsivity, and irritability, and a decrease in general, psychosocial, and physical QoL were found. The psychosocial and total QoL scores showed moderate/ high levels of negative correlations with irritability, attention problems, depression, separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder scores. Conclusion: The pandemic process in Turkey has adversely affected the mental health of adolescents. In increased psychosocial symptoms in this process are associated with lower QoL. (English) [ FROM AUTHOR] Amaç: Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de pandemi döneminde ergenlerde psikososyal belirtilerde meydana gelen değişiklikleri ve yaşam kalitesi (YK) ile ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Google e-formları aracılığıyla ulaşılan toplam 118 ergen katılmıştır. Afektif reaktivite indeksi-ebeveyn formu, Turgay-DSM-IV-S hiperaktivite/dürtüsellik ve dikkatsizlik alt ölçekleri, çocuklarda anksiyete ve depresyon ölçeği-yenilenmiş ebeveyn formu ve pediatrik YK envanteri psikososyal belirtilerin değerlendirilmesi için kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Pandemi öncesi döneme göre ergenlerde dikkat sorunları, hiperaktivite/dürtüsellik ve irritabilitede anlamlı artış;toplam, psikososyal ve fiziksel YK'lerinde düşüş saptandı. Psikososyal ve toplam YK puanları, sinirlilik, dikkat sorunları, depresyon, ayrılık kaygısı, yaygın kaygı, panik, sosyal kaygı ve obsesif kompulsif bozukluk puanları ile orta/yüksek düzeyde negatif korelasyon gösterdi. Sonuç: Türkiye'de pandemi süreci ergenlerin ruh sağlığını olumsuz etkilenmiştir. Ve bu süreçte artmış olan psikososyal semptomlar düşük YK ile ilişkilidir.

There is little data on the prognostic utility of sCD163 in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). This study investigated the relationship between serum sCD163 and the prognosis of COVID-19. Methods: A total of 79 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups as survivors and non-survivors. The clinical characteristics, serum sCD163 level, and other laboratory data of patients were compared between the groups. Results: Forty-two (53.2%) of the 79 cases were male. The mean age was 70.4±12 years in the non-survivor group and 64.2±14 years in the survivor group (p=0.079). Serum sCD163, prothrombin time, and lactate were significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors (p=0.023, p=0.015, p=0.018, respectively). The optimum cutoff value of serum sCD163 by receiver operating curve analysis was 2.92 ng/mL, resulting in 74% sensitivity and 52% specificity for predicting mortality (area under the curve: 0.620, 95% confidence interval: 0.481-0.759, p=0.048). Serum sCD163>2.92 ng/mL was associated with 4.3 times higher mortality risk as assessed by logistic regression analysis (p=0.014). Conclusion: sCD163 is an independent predictor of mortality in COVID-19 positive patients who have a fatal course of the disease. (English) [ FROM AUTHOR] Amaç: Suluble CD163 (sCD163) enflamasyonla ilgili biyobelirteçlerinden biridir. Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019'da (COVÍD-19) sCD163'ün prognostik faydası hakkında çok az veri var. Bu çalışma sCD163 seviyeleri ve hastalığın prognozu arasında ilişki olup olmadığının araştırılmasını amaçladı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya COVÍD-19 tanısı konan toplam 79 hastanede yatan hasta dahil edildi. Hastalar sağ kalanlar ve sağ kalmayanlar olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların klinik özellikleri, serum sCD163 düzeyi ve diğer laboratuvar verileri gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Yetmiş dokuz olgunun 42'si (%53,2) erkek idi. Hayatta olmayan grupta yaş ortalaması 70,4±12 yıl ve hayatta olan grupta 64,2±14 yıl saptandı (p=0,079). Hayatta olmayanlarda sCD163, protrombin zamanı ve laktat düzeyleri hayatta olanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek bulundu sırasıyla (p=0,023, p=0,015, p=0,018). Hayatta olmayan grupta alıcı çalışma karakteristik analizi yapıldığında sCD163>2,92 olduğunda eğrinin altındaki alan (AUC) değeri (AUC: 0,620, %95 güven aralığı: 0,481-0,759, p=0,048), sensitivitesi %74, spesifitesi %52 bulundu. Lojistik regresyon analizinde sCD163>2,92 olduğunda mortalite riski 4,3 kat daha fazla olarak saptandı (p=0,014). Sonuç: sCD163 ölümcül seyri olan COVÍD-19 pozitif hastalarda mortalitenin bağımsız bir öngördürücüsüdür.

The aim of this study was to examine the epidemiological incidence and outcomes of liver transplant patients after coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection who have been registered in the data system of the Tissue, Organ Transplant and Dialysis Services Department. Methods: In this study, which was designed non-interventional, retrospective, and observational;the demographic information, clinical and radiological parameters, lifetime, hospital service and intensive care requirements and length of stay of the patients who were recorded in the information systems of the Ministry of Health, have were examined. A total of 3,426 liver transplant patients who were admitted to the hospital with suspected COVID-19 in Turkey between April 2020 and April 2021 were included in the study. Results: Between April 2020-April 2021, 3,426 cases of liver transplant who admitted to hospitals with symptoms of COVID-19 infection in Turkey were examined. The ratio of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection was 24.69% (846), with a mean age of 52.3%. The 13.48% (462 people) of 3,426 people who had liver transplants were hospitalized. The mean age of the hospitalized patients was 46.6, and the average length of hospital stay was 8.64 days. When the thorax computed tomography scans of 3,426 people with suspected COVID-19 and liver transplant were examined, pneumonia was detected in 344 (10%) people and they were treated as an inpatient. The mean age of the patients with pneumonia was 59 years. The number of liver transplant patients who died was 108 (3.1%), with a mean age of 65 years. The ratio of followup in the intensive care unit for organ transplant recipients was 0.32%, and 0.26% of them were intubated patients. Conclusion: Despite the use of immunosuppressive drugs in patients with liver transplant, the requirement for intensive care and the length of stay in the intensive care unit was found to be low, and the importance of strict follow-up and treatment in such patients was recognized once again.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44278920","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}
