Materials and Methods: HCWs who presented at an occupational health outpatient clinic for COVID-19 contact tracing or assessment before returning to work between March 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020 were evaluated in this cross-sectional study. The dependent variable used was a COVID-19 diagnosis;the independent variables used were gender, marital status, age, occupation, smoking, presence of chronic disease, symptoms of COVID-19, source of contact, risk classification, and work in a COVID-19 unit. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors associated with the risk of COVID-19 and sources of infection. Results: A total of 603 HCWs presented at the clinic during the study period. The most frequent sources of contact with SARS-CoV-2 were infected co-workers (50.7%) and patients at work (28.2%), followed by household contacts (9.9%). Those who worked in a COVID-19 unit had a 3.55 times greater risk of a COVID-19 diagnosis than other HCWs when adjusted for age, gender, and risk classification. Conclusion: HCWs frequently face exposure to potential infection. Sufficient support for these workers to ensure adequate awareness of and compliance with protocols is of critical importance to protect public health. The results of this study also suggest consideration of the possibility of another source of contact for HCWs included in the no risk category. Regular screening for COVID-19 may be advisable.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88188384","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}

Materials and Methods: The mNGS dataset used in the study demonstrated expression of 15,979 genes in the upper airway in 234 patients who were COVID-19 negative and COVID-19 positive. The Boruta method was used to select qualitative biomarker genes associated with COVID-19. Random forest (RF), gradient boosting tree (GBT), and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) models were used to predict COVID-19 based on the selected biomarker genes. Results: The MLP (0.936) model outperformed the GBT (0.851), and RF (0.809) models in predicting COVID-19. The three most important biomarker candidate genes associated with COVID-19 were IFI27, TPTI, and FAM83A. Conclusion: The proposed model (MLP) was able to predict COVID-19 successfully. The results showed that the generated model and selected biomarker candidate genes can be used as diagnostic models for clinical testing or potential therapeutic targets and vaccine design.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80663257","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}

Therefore, it is essential to determine the predictors of the long hospital stay. We sought to investigate whether alterations in left ventricular (LV) geometry in COVID-19 patients are associated with the length of stay (LoS) and a long hospital stay. Materials and Methods: 108 consecutive hospitalized COVID-19 patients were incorporated in the study and 89 patients remained for statistical analysis. All participants underwent standard two-dimensional (2D) and Doppler echocardiographic examinations. Patients were classified according to LV geometry characteristics namely normal geometry (NG), concentric remodeling, concentric hypertrophy and eccentric hypertrophy. Results: Multiple binary logistic regression model adjusted for clinical and laboratory variables yielded significant and independent association of LV mass index (LVMI) (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.06-1.19, p<0.001), 10 g/m(2) increase in LVMI (OR: 3.63, 95% CI: 2.00-6.59, p<0.001), LV geometry patterns (OR: 2.92, 95% CI: 1.46-5.34, p=0.002), and altered geometric patterns compared to NG (OR: 3.97, 95% CI: 1.08-14.5, p=0.037) with long hospital stay. Correlation analysis of LVMI and LoS demonstrated significant and moderate correlation (rho=0.58, p<0.001). Conclusion: LVMI and LV geometric patterns independently predict long hospital stays in COVID-19 patients. The significant correlation between LoS and LVMI underlies the significance of LV geometry in this infection.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85340834","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}
