Materials and Methods: We included CT images of 113 people (male;58, female;55) diagnosed with Covid-19 positive in our study. CT images of each patient were imported the DICOM datasets and thorax diameter measurements were performed by using MicroDicom. Moreover, lung volume and lesion volume parameters were calculated from the CT images using the three-dimensional imaging method (Vitrea). All measurement parameters were compared according to gender and ground glass opacity appearance. Results: The 113 patients (male;58, female;55) with a mean age of 44.57±14.59 diagnosed with Covid-19 were included in our study. There was a significant difference between the gender in the mean values of lung volume (males; 3530.90±1454.99 ml and females; 3149.92±1335.16 ml) and lesion volume (males; 434.59±664.19 ml and females; 557.10±671.99 ml) parameters. In addition, a significant difference in lung volume (p<0.001) and lesion volume (p<0.001) was obtained between the groups with ground glass opacity and without ground glass opacity. Moreover, A significant difference (p=0.001) in thorax anteroposterior diameter length was obtained between the groups the with/without ground glass opacity. However, there was no significant difference (p=0.542) between genders in thorax diameters. Conclussion: In our study, we found that in the females may have more lung damage from Covid-19. We believe that our work in the light of the available data, we believe that the findings of our study will contribute to early stages of the pandemic, in which vaccination has not yet , and the long-term effects of post-covid.","PeriodicalId":500438,"journal":{"name":"Harran Üniversitesi týp fakültesi dergisi","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136036639","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}

AIM: The present study sought to investigate pathogens causing infections in patients admitted to our respiratory ICU and their antibiotic resistance patterns. MATERİALS and METHOD: The antibiogram results and clinical data of all patient samples submitted between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2010, were retrospectively reviewed. RESULT: In total, 248 patients with 561 culture results were included in the study. Microbial growth was detected in the following samples: blood, 336 (59.9%); deep tracheal aspirate, 104 (18.6%); urine, 89 (15.9%); wound drain, 12 (2.1%); central venous catheter liquid, 7 (1.3%); phlegm, 10 (1.8%); Foley tip liquid, 1 (0.2%); and pleural effusion, and 1 (0.2%). Rapid growth was most frequently noted in the cultures of coagulase-negative staphylococci (25.3%), Acinetobacter spp. (23.1%), and Escherichia coli (12.6%). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Descriptive statistics for continuous variables were expressed as means and standard deviations. The intermittent variables were converted into cross-tables and analyzed using Fisher’s exact and Pearson’s chi-square tests. The normal distribution of the study data was assessed using Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. The mean values of the variables were analyzed using Student’s t-test. Bidirectional hypotheses were used, and a p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Ver. 18.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) software was used for statistical analyses. IN CONCLUSION, the present study revealed microorganisms’ resistance profiles similar to those of other relevant studies. The study provides important insights into the selection of empiric antibiotic therapy for patients admitted in intensive care unit.
