Yirmi Üç Bin Covid-19 Olgusunun Retrospektif İncelemesi: Cinsiyet ve Yaşta Güçlü İlişki

Öz

Amaç: COVİD-19 hastalığına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan entübasyon ihtiyacı, yoğun bakıma yatış ve ölüm oranlarının yaş ve cinsiyet faktörleri ile ilişkisinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmada, gerekli izinler alındıktan sonra XXX ilinde hizmet veren bir hastanede PCR testi yaptırmış, hastanede yatan ya da tedavisi ayaktan planlanıp hastane dışı takip edilen 23.239 olgunun retrospektif incelemesi yapılmıştır. Veriler, elektronik ortamda toplanmış olup, tanımlayıcı ve çıkarımsal analizler için SPSS 22.0 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Olguların %50,8’i kadın, %49,2’si erkek ve genel yaş ortalaması 44,05±16,47 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Cinsiyet ile yoğun bakım hizmeti alma, entübasyon gereksinimi ve ölüm oranları arasında güçlü ilişki bulunmuştur. Erkeklerin yoğun bakım hizmeti alma, entübasyon ve ölüm oranları kadınlara göre anlamlı derecede daha yüksektir (p<0,01). Yaş da, cinsiyete benzer olarak prognoz göstergeleri ile güçlü ilişki göstermektedir. Yoğun bakıma ihtiyaç duyan hastaların yaş ortalamaları (69,72 ±13,41) bu bakıma ihtiyaç duymayanlara göre (43,03 ±15,74) oldukça yüksektir. Ölen vakaların yaş ortalaması (72,67±12,36) hayatta olanların yaş ortalamasından (43,37±15,94) oldukça yüksektir (p=0,000). Sonuç: Bu araştırma, ileri yaş ve erkek cinsiyetinin COVİD-19 hastalığının prognozuna ait bazı göstergelerle güçlü ilişkili risk faktörleri olduğunu göstermiştir.

Retrospective Analysis of Twenty-Three Thousand Covid-19 Case: A Strong Association with Gender and Age

Öz

Aim: This study aims to examine the association of COVID-19 disease-related need for intubation, hospitalization in the intensive care unit, and mortality rates with age and gender. Methods: After obtaining the necessary permissions, this retrospective descriptive study evaluated a total of 23,239 patients who had PCR tests in a hospital serving in XXX province and received inpatient or outpatient treatment. The SPSS 22.0 package program was used for descriptive and inferential analyses of the electronically collected data. Results: 50.8% of the cases were female, 49.2% were male, and the mean age was 44.05±16.47 years. A strong correlation was found between gender and receiving intensive care services, the need for intubation, and mortality rates. Intensive care, intubation, and mortality rates of men were significantly higher than women (p<0.01). Similar to gender, age also showed a strong correlation with prognostic indicators. The mean age of patients who needed intensive care (69.72 ±13.41) was considerably higher than of those who did not (43.03 ± 15.74). The mean age of the patients who died (72.67±12.36) was considerably higher than of the survivors (43.37±15.94) (p=0.000). Conclusion: This study shows that advanced age and male gender are risk factors strongly associated with various prognostic indicators of the COVID-19 disease.
