Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç: Bu çalışmada Eğitim Aile Sağlığı Merkezlerine (EASM) kayıtlı ve COVID-19 nedeniyle evde hidroksiklorokin (HCQ) tedavisi alan hastaların ilaç uyumlarını ve geri bildirimlerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastanemize bağlı Eğitim Aile Sağlığı Merkezlerinde kayıtlı COVID-19 nedeniyle evde tedavi gören ve HCQ tedavisi gören hastalar dahil edildi. Evde takip edilen bu hastalara ev takiplerinin 6. ve 14. günleri arasında bir kez ulaşıldı. Hastalara HCQ tedavisine uyumları, ilaç yan etkileri, geri bildirimler, ateş ve öksürük gibi semptomların süreleri, hastaneye yeniden sevklerle ilgili bilgileri içeren 31 maddeden oluşan anket soruları yöneltildi. Anket yoluyla toplanan veriler istatistiksel analiz ile değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel analizler SPSS 17.0 programı ile yapıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya 37'si erkek 30'u kadın toplam 67 hasta katıldı. Ortalama yaş 45.34 ± 19.01 yıldır. Orta derecede semptomları olan 7 hasta ve hafif semptomları olan 60 hasta vardı. Bir hasta ilaca bağlı cilt döküntüsü nedeniyle tedaviyi bıraktı. 63 hastanın semptomlarında azalma oldu. Hastaneye yatan 23 hastanın ortalama yatış süresi 12.96 ± 5.92 gündü. Tekrar hastaneye sevk edilen 5 hasta vardı. Azitromisin kullanımı olanlarda tekrar hastaneye sevk oranı daha düşük bulundu.
Sonuç: HCQ kullanan evdeki takip edilen COVİD-19 hastalarının çoğunluğunun semptomlarında hafifleme olmuştur. HCQ ile kombine azitromisin tedavisi alanlarda tekrar hastaneye yatma oranları daha düşük gözlenmiştir.

Compliance and feedback of hydroxychloroquine treatments in home follow-up patients with diagnosis of COVID-19

Abstract

Objective: In this study we aimed to evaluate the medication compliance and feedback of the patients who were registered in Education Family Health Centers (EASM) and who received hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) treatment at home due to COVID-19.
Materials and Methods: Patients who were being treated at home and being treated for hydroxychloroquine due to COVID-19 registered in Education Family Health Centers affiliated to our hospital were included. These patients who were followed at home were contacted once between the 6th and 14th days of home follow-up. The patients were asked questionnaire questions including 31 items including information on their compliance with hydroxychloroquine treatment, drug side effects, feedback, duration of symptoms such as fever and cough, re-referrals to the hospital. The data collected through questionnaires were evaluated by statistical analysis.
Results: Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 17.0 program. A total of 67 patients, 37 men and 30 women, participated in the study. The average age is 45.34 ± 19.01 years. There are 7 patients with moderate symptoms and 60 people who have mild symptoms. One patient had skin rush and stopped the treatment because of adverse effect. 63 patients had a reduction in their symptoms. There were 23 patients hospitalized and the average duration is 12.96 ± 5.92 days. There were 5 patients who are referred to the hospital again. Among patients 33 were receiving azithromycin combined with HCQ and their re-hospitalization rates were lower.
Conclusion: HCQ was observed efficient in relieving the COVİD-19 symptoms in most of the home follow-up patients Azithromycin combined with HCQ reduced re-hospitalization rates.
