Methods: Seventy six consecutive patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), hospitalized in the ICU due to hypoxemia, and selected consecutively were included. COVID-19 infection was diagnosed using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in nose and throat swab samples. The diagnosis of pneumonia was confirmed by showing typical ground-glass opacities and areas of subsegmental consolidation in lung computed tomography examinations of patients previously diagnosed with COVID-19 by RT-PCR. Hepatic FIB-4 index score and PSI score was calculated separately for each patient. In the statistical method, the independent samples t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare quantitative data. A chi-square test was used to compare qualitative data. Results: The FIB-4 value and PSI value were significantly higher (p<0.05) in the mortality group than in the non-mortality group. Also, there was no significant statistical difference between the two groups in terms of the other laboratory parameters (p>0.05) FIB-4 value was significantly predictive [under the curve 0.835 (0.742-0.929)] in differentiating patients with and without mortality. For a cut-off value of 5.4, FIB-4 had a sensitivity of 60.6%, positive predictive of 95.2%, specificity of 97.6%, and negative predictive value of 75.9% Conclusion: High FIB-4 index and PSI score detected in the early period in patients admitted to the ICU due to COVID-19 seem to be predictors of in-hospital mortality.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45653673","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}

However, in some patients recurrent CAD occurs due to ASA resistance (AR). This condition may be related to some genetic factors. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 mutations on recurrent CAD due to AR. Methods: Hundred CAD patients taking 100 mg ASA daily for 2 years were enrolled to the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to their recurrent CAD status. Forty-eight patients with recurrent CAD due to AR and 52 patients without recurrent CAD were selected to ASA resistant (AR+) and ASA non-resistant (AR-) group, respectively. AR was confirmed by platelet aggregation testing. Risk factors related to recurrent CAD were also obtained. After DNA was isolated from peripheral blood, rs1330344 variation in COX-1 and rs20417 variation in COX-2 were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results were evaluated statistically. Results: COX-1 and COX-2 mutations were mostly detected in the AR+ group however these data were not found statistically significant. Nevertheless, C allele of COX-2 was found statistically high in the AR+ group (67.9%) (p=0.023). Additionally statistically significant associations were found between high total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels with the GC genotype of COX-2. Conclusion: It was suggested a relation between COX-2 mutations and recurrent CAD due to AR. Similar studies with a large population must explain the mechanisms governing the association of COX-1 and COX-2 genotypes and response to ASA in recurrent CAD patients.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45439830","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}
