Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory characteristics and treatment and clinical outcomes of severe COVID- 19 cases from a 3rd degree intensive care unit in Turkey. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a level three, 16-bed COVID intensive care unit. The investigation was planned as a retrospective and observational study. Patients who were admitted with COVID-19 pneumonia and respiratory failure in the intensive care unit between March 2020 and March 2021 and followed up due to critical illness were evaluated. Results: A total of 213 patients that were admitted to the intensive care unit with the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia were included in the study. Median age of the patients was 66 (IQR 56.5-74) years, and 134 (62.9%) were males. One hundred and sixty-six (77.9%) of the patients had at least one comorbidity. Patients were followed up mainly with invasive mechanical ventilation [104 (48.8%)] and high flow nasal cannula [67 (31.5%)]. Median number of days was 7 (IQR 4-10) and included the first symptom onset to intensive care admission. The time to intubation was 9 (IQR 4-15) days, and the median day to intensive care discharge was 16 (IQR 11-23). After the symptoms started, first tocilizumab 9 (IQR 5-11) and pulse steroid treatment 8 (IQR 3-11) were found to be close to each other. In total, 95 (44.6%) of the 213 patients died. Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 associated viral disease can progress after simple symptoms to hospital admission in a median of four days and to intensive care admission requiring intubation in a median of nine days. We believe that a better understanding of the clinical course of COVID-19 and its change between centers can be revealed through sharing information from different countries and centers.

Özet

Giriş: Çalışmada, Türkiye›de üçüncü derece yoğun bakım ünitesinden alınan ağır COVID-19 vakalarının epidemiyolojik, klinik, laboratuvar özellikleri ile tedavi ve klinik sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Materyal ve Metod: Çalışma üçüncü seviye, 16 yataklı COVID yoğun bakım ünitesinde gerçekleştirildi. Araştırma geriye dönük ve gözlemsel bir çalışmaydı. Mart 2020-Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında yoğun bakım ünitesinde COVID-19 pnömonisi ve solunum yetmezliği ile yatırılan ve kritik hastalık nedeniyle takip edilen hastalar değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya COVID-19 pnömonisi tanısı ile yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırılan toplam 213 hasta dâhil edildi. Hastaların ortanca yaşı 66 (IQR 56.5-74) yıl ve 134'ü (%62.9) erkekti. Hastaların 166'sında (%77.9) en az bir komorbidite mevcuttu. Hastalar ağırlıklı olarak invaziv mekanik ventilasyon [104 (%48.8)] ve yüksek akımlı nazal kanül [%67 (%31.5)] ile takip edildi. İlk semptomdan yoğun bakıma yatışa kadar geçen süre ortanca gün sayısı 7 (IQR 4-10) idi. Entübasyon süresi 9 (IQR-15) gün ve yoğun bakım taburculuğuna kadar geçen medyan gün 16 (IQR 11-23) idi. Semptomlar başladıktan sonra ilk tocilizumab 9 (IQR 5-11) ve pulse steroid tedavisi 8 (IQR 3-11) birbirine yakın bulundu. Toplamda 213 hastanın 95'i (%44.6) kaybedildi. Sonuç: SARS-CoV2 ile ilişkili viral hastalık, basit semptomlardan sonra ortanca dördüncü günde hastaneye kabule ve ortanca dokuz günde entübasyon gerektiren yoğun bakıma yatışa kadar ilerleyebilir. COVID-19’un klinik seyrinin ve merkezler arasındaki değişiminin daha iyi anlaşılmasının farklı ülke ve merkezlerden bilgi paylaşımı ile ortaya çıkarılabileceğine inanıyoruz.
