Abstract

Koronavirüs Hastalığı-19 (COVID-19) salgını sırasında Türkiye'de her alanda birçok önlemler alınmıştır. Yirmi bir Mart'ta 65 yaş ve üzeri kişilere, 3 Nisan'da 20 yaş altındaki kişilere sokağa çıkma yasakları başlamış olup 23 Nisan'da herkese sadece hafta sonları olan kısa süreli sokağa çıkma yasakları gelmiştir ve 1 Haziran’dan itibaren de normalleşme süreci başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada ülkemizde uygulanan sosyal kısıtlamaların ve normalleşmenin 15 Mart ile 21 Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında COVID-19 tanısı ile hastaneye yatırılmış 953 hastanın medikal sonuçlarına etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, semptomları, akciğer tomografi bulguları, yoğun bakım ve entübasyon durumları, ölüm oranları, laboratuvar parametreleri ve polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (PCR) sonuçları kaydedilmiştir. 65 yaş üstü ve 20 yaş altındaki kişilere gelen kısıtlamaların, kısa süreli herkese uygulanan sokağa çıkma kısıtlamalarının ve normalleşmenin başladığı zamanın 3 hafta öncesi ve 3 hafta sonrasındaki hastaların verileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Sosyodemografik özelliklerde 1. ve 2. periodda farklılık saptanmamıştır ancak 3. periyotta kadın hasta sayısında artış saptanmıştır. Dönemlerde semptomlarda ve laboratuvar değerlerinde bazı değişiklikler saptanmıştır. 1. periyotta ölümler, yoğun bakıma yatış, pozitif PCR vakalarının oranı, en az bir PCR pozitif veya bilgisayarlı tomografisi Covid-19 ile uyumlu olgu oranı artmıştır (p <0,05). 2. Periyotta klinik ve radyolojik özelliklerde farklılık saptanmamışken 3. periyotta ölümler azalmıştır (p:0,015). Çalışmamızın bulguları, pandeminin erken evresinde uygulanan kısıtlamalardan olumlu etkilenmiş gibi görünmese de, bu kısıtlamaların, uzun vadede hastaların sayısı ve ciddiyeti üzerinde olumlu bir etki yarattığını ve sağlık sisteminin yönetimi ve iyileştirilmesi için zaman kazandırdığını düşünmekteyiz.

EFFECTS OF SOCIAL RESTRICTIONS ON THE OUTCOMES OF INPATIENTS WITH CORONAVIRUS DISEASE-19 (COVID-19) IN TURKEY

Abstract

During the Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, many precautions have been taken in every field in Turkey. Curfews started for people aged 65 and over on March 21, and for people under the age of 20 on April 3 and also on April 23, short-term curfews were only introduced for everyone on weekends, and the normalization process began on June 1. The goal of this research was to evaluate the impact of the social restrictions and normalization applied in our country on the medical outcomes of 953 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 between 15 March and 21 June 2020. Patients' age, gender, symptoms, chest tomography, intensive care, and intubation status, mortality rates, laboratory parameters, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results were recorded. Patient results were compared in the period of 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after curfews applied to over the age of 65 and under the age of 20 years, curfews applied to everyone for weekends and the beginning of normalization. The sociodemographic characteristics in the 1st and 2nd periods were not different, but the number of female patients increased in the 3rd period. There were some changes in symptoms and laboratory values in all periods. Deaths, admission to intensive care unit, positive PCR, and at least one positive PCR or tomography compatible with COVID-19 increased for period 1 (p<0.05). While clinical and radiological characteristics didn’t vary in the 2nd period, deaths decreased in period 3 (p:0.015). Although the findings of our study don’t seem to be positively affected by the restrictions applied in the early phase of the pandemic, we think that these restrictions have a positive impact on the number and severity of patients in the long term and provide time for the management and improvement of the health system.
