Bu amaçla, modifiye erken uyarı skoru (MEUS) ve ulusal erken uyarı skorlama (UEUS) sistemleri geliştirilmiş olmasının yanında, COVİD-19 hastalarına spesifik erken uyarı skoru da (CEUS: ≥ 65 yaş kriteri eklenerek modifiye edilen UEUS) oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışmada, serviste takip edilen COVİD-19 tanılı hastalarda, yoğun bakım ünitesine (YBÜ) yatış ihtiyacını ve kardiyopulmoner arrest (KPA) gelişme ihtimalini öngörmede MEUS ile CEUS’un karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Metod: Etik kurul onayı alındıktan sonra, Mersin Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesinde 1 Mart 2020-1 Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında COVİD-19 servisinde yatan 18 yaşından büyük toplam 332 yetişkin hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hasta kayıtlarından demografik verileri ve yandaş hastalıkları incelendi. Servis takip formlarından elde edilen vital bulgular aracılığı ile MEUS ve CEUS skoru hesaplandı. Skorların hesaplanmasında, her bir gün için tekrarlanan ölçümlerin ortalaması kaydedildi.Bulgular: Hastaların % 60,9’i (n=202) erkek, % 39,1’i (n=130) kadın idi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 53,73±20,05 olarak hesaplandı. Hastaların yatış süreleri ortalama 6,02±3,73 gün idi. Oksijen ihtiyacı olan hasta oranı % 24,4 (n=81) olarak bulundu. Hastaların COVİD-19 servisinden YBÜ’ye kabul edilme oranı % 1,2 (n=4), KPA oranı % 1,8 (n=6) ve eksitus oranı % 1,8 (n=6) olarak izlendi. Hastaların, her bir gün için aldıkları ortalama MEUS ile CEUS değerleri arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu saptandı (1,33±0,49’a karşı 2,59±2,39; p˂0,001). KPA gelişen ve gelişmeyen hastaların 1. gün skorları karşılaştırıldığında CEUS skoru, MEUS skoruna göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p=0,001’e karşı p=0,283). KPA için, CEUS’da sınır değer 4,75 olarak bulunurken (KPA ve eksitusu öngörme anlamlı, p˂0,001), MEUS için ayırt edici bir cut-off değeri ise saptanamadı (p=0,317). Yandaş hastalığı olanlar (n=204) incelendiğinde CEUS skoru, MEUS’e göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p</p></abstract>

                            <p>Introduction: Early recognition of the deteriorating patient and taking the necessary precautions quickly can prevent the development of cardiac arrest in patients. For this purpose, modified early warning scoring (MEWS) and national early warning scoring (NEWS) were developed, as well as specific EWS for COVID-19 patients (CEWS: NEWS modified by adding ≥65 age criterion). In this study, it was aimed to compare MEWS and CEWS to predict worsening and development of cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) in patients followed up with a diagnosis of COVID-19 in wards.Methods: After the approval of the ethics committee, a total of 332 adult patients between the ages of 18-99 who were hospitalized in the COVID-19 wards of Mersin University Medical Faculty Hospital between 1 March 2020 and 1 June 2020 were included in the study. Demographic data and comorbidity status were determined from patient records. The MEWS and CEWS scores were determined by the vital findings obtained from the service follow-ups. For these two scorings, the mean of repeated measurements for each day was recorded.Results: 60.9 % (n=202) of the patients were male and 39.1 % (n=130) were female. The mean age of the patients was calculated as 53.73±20.05. The mean hospitalization period of the patients was 6.02±3.73 days. The rate of patients in requirement of additional oxygen was found to be 24.4 % (n=81). Admission rate from the COVID-19 service to the ICU was 1.2 % (n=4), CPA rate was 1.8 % (n=6) and exitus rate was 1.8% (n=6). The mean scores of the patients for each day were taken, and there was a statistically significant difference between MEWS and CEWS (1.33±0.49 vs. 2.59±2.39; p˂0.001). When the 1st day scores of the patients with and without CPA were compared, the CEWS score was found to be significantly higher than the MEWS score (p=0.001 vs. p=0.283). While the cut-off value was 4.75 in CEWS for CPA (p˂0.001), a distinctive cut-off value was not found for MEWS (p=0.317). When those with comorbidities (n=204) were examined, the CEWS was found to be significantly higher than the MEWS (p</p></trans-abstract>
