The age range of the patients was 18-95 andthe mean age was 53. Average hospitalization days were 7.14. A definite diagnosis of COVID-19 wasmade in 33 patients (11.6%) due to reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positivity.Although the RT-PCR test of 35 patients was negative, these patients were evaluated as COVID-19with high clinical probability because of the ground glass opacities in harmony with COVID-19 in CT(Computed Tomography). There were no radiological findings in 10 of our RT-PCR positive patients.The patients mostly presented with complaints of cough and fever. 68 (23.9%) of 284 patients wefollowed were evaluated as COVID-19.Conclusion: The number of unnecessary hospitalizations was high due to the fact that clinicalcomplaints were the main criteria for admission to the hospital. Yet, no CT finding was observed inabout 1/3 of the RT-PCR positive patients. Clinical and radiological improvement was achieved in mostof the patients using the treatments in hand.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Amaç: Samsun Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde COVID-19 şüpheli hastaların hastaneyeyatış sürecinin değerlendirilmesi ve hastaların klinik özellikleri ile tedavi sürecinin ve başarısınındeğerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 18 Mart 2020 ve 29 Mayıs 2020 tarihleri arasında Samsun Eğitim ve AraştırmaHastanesi COVID-19 servisine COVID-19 hastalığı şüphesi ile yatırılan 284 hastanın verilerideğerlendirildi.Bulgular: COVID-19 şüphesi ile yatan 284 hasta değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaş aralığı 18-95 arasındaolup ortalama yaş 53 idi. Ortalama yatış günü 7.14 bulundu. 33 hasta (%11.6) COVID-19 reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) pozitif saptandı. 35 hastanın COVID-19 RT-PCR testi negatif olup bilgisayarlı tomografide (BT) buzlu cam görünümü nedeniyle yüksek klinik olasılıklı COVID-19 enfeksiyonu olarak değerlendirildi.RT-PCR pozitif hastaların 10’unda radyolojik bulgu yoktu. Hastalar en fazla öksürük ve ateş yakınması ile başvurmuşlardı. Takip ettiğimiz284 hastanın 68’i (%23.9) COVID-19 olarak kabul edildi.Sonuç: Hastaların hastaneye kabulünde daha çok klinik yakınmaları dikkate alınması ile gereksiz hasta yatışı sayısı fazla olmakla beraberCOVID-19 RT-PCR pozitif hastalarda yaklaşık 1/3 oranında tomografi bulgusu izlenmemiştir. Mevcut tedaviler ile büyük oranda hastadaklinik ve radyolojik düzelme görüldü.</p></trans-abstract>
