Retrospective evaluation of laboratory, radiological and clinical findings of COVID-19 suspected cases with a public health perspective in Adiyaman Training and Research Hospital

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate SARS-CoV-2 cases based on clinical evidence from the perspective of public health. Materials and Methods: The data of 354 people were analyzed which were among the patients admitted to the pandemic hospital in Adiyaman in the study. Results: 70.6% of those admitted to the hospital with suspected COVID-19, 60% of those received inpatient treatment and 61.2% of those who were PCR-positive were male. The median age of those admitted to the hospital was 37 years. 90% were in a good general condition. The median length of hospitalization was 7 days. 14.8% PCR-positive patients required mechanical ventilation. Generally, D-dimer, CRP and WBC levels were poor, which were higher in those receiving intensive care (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, the disease seems to be more common among men. CT abnormalities are common. D-Dimer, CRP and WBC levels are associated with severe disease.

Adıyaman Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesine başvuran COVID-19 şüpheli vakaların laboratuvar, radyolojik ve klinik bulgularının halk sağlığı bakışıyla retrospektif değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, SARS-CoV-2 vakalarını halk sağlığı perspektifinden klinik kanıtlara dayalı olarak değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada Adıyaman pandemi hastanesine başvuran hastalardan 354 kişinin verileri incelendi. Bulgular: Hastaneye COVID-19 şüphesi ile başvuranların %70,6'sı, yatarak tedavi görenlerin %60'ı ve PCR pozitif olanların% 61,2'si erkekti. Hastaneye başvuranların ortanca yaşı 37 idi. % 90'ı genel olarak iyi durumdaydı. Ortanca hastanede kalış süresi 7 gündü. PCR pozitif hastaların% 14.8'i mekanik ventilasyona ihtiyaç duydu. Genel olarak D-dimer, CRP ve WBC seviyeleri zayıftı ve yoğun bakım alanlarda daha yüksekti (p<0.05) Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, hastalık erkekler arasında daha yaygın görünmektedir. BT anormallikleri yaygındır. D-Dimer, CRP ve WBC seviyeleri ciddi hastalıkla ilişkilidir.
