Incidence, Risk Factors, And Adverse Outcomes Of Acute Kidney Injury In Very Prematureneonates: A Single Center Experience, Nuran Üstün
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background/aim: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious morbidity in premature neonates. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of AKI and to evaluate its impact on morbidity and mortality in very premature infants. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). A total of 410 preterm infants who were born before 32 gestational weeks were screened and 318 were included in this analysis. AKI was defined according to the modified neonatal Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Results: The incidence of AKI was 32.1% (102/318). Regression analyses revealed …
Prognostic Factors For 30-Days Mortality In Eighty Years Aged And Older Critically Illpatients: A Single Center Retrospective Cohort Study, Umut Sabri̇ Kasapoğlu, Osman Kaçmaz, Abdullah Gök, Meri̇h Yildiz Eglen, Hasan Şayan, Fati̇h Çolak
Prognostic Factors For 30-Days Mortality In Eighty Years Aged And Older Critically Illpatients: A Single Center Retrospective Cohort Study, Umut Sabri̇ Kasapoğlu, Osman Kaçmaz, Abdullah Gök, Meri̇h Yildiz Eglen, Hasan Şayan, Fati̇h Çolak
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background/aim: Nowadays, with the rise in average life expectancy, the rate of hospitalization of the older population in intensive care unit (ICU) is gradually increasing. Unfortunately, there are no ideal combination of prognostic factors predicting the mortality in older patients admitted to the ICU. In the present study, we aim to determine the prognostic factors and their impacts on short-time mortality in older critically ill patients. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed between January 2019 and February 2020. We included 133 patients aged ≥80 years and hospitalized ≥24 h in the ICU. Results: A total of 133 …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background/aim: New treatment regimens for COVID-19, which has threatened the world recently, continue to be investigated. Although some of the treatments are promising, it is thought to be early to state that there is definitive treatment. Experiences and treatment protocol studies from treatment centers are still important. The aim of this study is to evaluate factors affecting the treatment process of the first cases followed in our clinic. Materials and methods: The consecutive hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia were analyzed in this retrospective and cross-sectional study. Data were recorded from the electronic and written files of patients. Results: Eighty-three patients …
The Effect Of Comorbidity On Mortality In Elderly Patients Undergoing Emergencyabdominal Surgery: A Systematic Review And Metaanalysis, Fadi̇me Çinar, Göknur Parlak, Fatma Eti̇ Aslan
The Effect Of Comorbidity On Mortality In Elderly Patients Undergoing Emergencyabdominal Surgery: A Systematic Review And Metaanalysis, Fadi̇me Çinar, Göknur Parlak, Fatma Eti̇ Aslan
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background/aim: With the increase in the elderly population, the elderly proportion needing emergency surgery is also increasing. Despite medical advances in surgery and anesthesia, negative postoperative outcomes and high mortality rates are still present in elderly patients undergoing emergency surgery. Comorbidities are described as the main determining factors in poor outcomes. In this metaanalysis, it was aimed to investigate the effect of comorbidity on mortality in elderly patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery. Materials and methods: The studies published between 2010-2019 were scanned from databases of Google Scholar, Cinahl, Pub Med, Medline and Web of Science. Quality criteria proposed by Polit …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: To date, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused more than 2.6 million deaths all around the world. Risk factors for mortality remain unclear. The primary aim was to determine the independent risk factors for 28-day mortality. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, critically ill patients (≥ 18 years) who were admitted to the intensive care unit due to COVID-19 were included. Patient characteristics, laboratory data, radiologic findings, treatments, and complications were analyzed in the study. Results: A total of 249 patients (median age 71, 69.1% male) were included in the study. 28-day mortality was 67.9% (n = …
