Background/aims: The covid-19 pandemic, which is a global problem, is still one of the most important health problems today. Treatment and vaccine studies are as important in predicting prognosis and mortality as early diagnosis and prevention of the disease, which continues unabated. İn this study, it was aimed to evaluate the success of laboratory values, comorbid conditions and intensive care scoring at the time of first admission of patients admitted to intensive care with the diagnosis of Covid-19 in predicting mortality.
Methods: The study was conducted in a 3rd step adult emergency deparment. The study included 106 patients who were admitted to the emergency department and subsequently admitted to intensive care, had a positive Covid-19 polymerase chain reaction(PCR) test and met the inclusion criteria.
Results: The average age of 10 patients included in the study was 71.85. 65.09 percent of these patients are male and 24.1% are female. While 29 of the patients were survivors, 77 were deceased. İn deceased patients; Procalcitonin, lactate, leukocyte, neutrophil, urea, creatine, asti crpi ferritin, d-dimer values were found to be higher than the other group. Lymphocyte, lymphocyte percentage and pH values were found to be significantly low. Sequential Organ Failure Score(SOFA) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation(APACHE) 2 scores were found to be higher in deceased patients.
Conclusion: Ferritin, lactate, urea and pH values, comorbid conditions, Sequantial Organ Failure Score and Acute Sphysiology and Chronic Health Assessment 2 can be used to predict mortality in covid-19 disease.

Amaç: Global bir problem olan covid-19 pandemisi günümüzde hala en önemli sağlık sorunlarının başında gelmektedir. Tedavi ve aşı çalışmaları hız kesmeden devam etmekte olan hastalığın erken tanınması ve önlenmesi kadar prognozu ve mortaliteyi öngörmekte bir o kadar önemlidir. Bu çalışmada covid-19 tanısı ile yoğun bakıma yatırılan hastaların ilk başvuru anındaki laboratuar değerlerinin, komorbid durumlarının ve yoğun bakım skorlamalarının mortaliteyi öngörme başarılarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Çalışma üçüncü basamak erişkin acil servisinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya acil servise başvuran ve akabinde yoğun bakım yatışı verilen, covid-19 polimeraz zincir reaksiyon(pcr) testi pozitif ve dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 106 hasta dahil edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 106 hastanın yaş ortalaması 71.85 idi. Bu hastaların yüzde 65,09’unu erkek, %34,1’ini kadın cinsiyet oluşturmakta. Hastaların 29’u survival iken 77’si vefat eden hastalardan oluşmakta idi. Vefat eden hastalarda; procalsitonin, laktat, lökosit, nötrofil, üre, kreatin, ast, crp, ferritin, d-dimer değerleri diğer gruba göre yüksek saptanmıştır. Lenfosit, lenfosit yüzdesi ve ph değerleri ise anlamlı düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ardışık Organ Yetmezliği Skoru(SOFA) ve Akut Fizyoloji ve Kronik Sağlık Değerlendirmesi(APACHE) 2 skorları vefat eden hastalarda daha yüksek tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Ferritin, laktat, üre ve ph değerleri, komorbid durumlar, Ardışık Organ Yetmezliği Skoru ve Akut Fizyoloji ve Kronik Sağlık Değerlendirmesi covid-19 hastalığında mortalite öngörmede kullanılabilir.
