Özet
Aim In this study it was aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors for the geriatric patients with confirmed COVID-19 in a tertiary-care hospital at Kastamonu region of Turkey. Method Patients (>= 65-year-old) who had PCR positivity for COVID-19 between March 2020 and April 2020 in our center were recorded retrospectively. A p value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Ethical committee approval was given from the Bolu University with decision number 2020/176. Results There were a total of 100 patients (44% female). In-hospital mortality was recorded as 7%. In univariate analysis for 1 month mortality, diabetes mellitus (p= 0.038), leucocyte count (p= 0.005), neutrophile count (p= 0.02), neutrophile-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)(p< 0.001), thrombocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (TLR)(p= 0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP)(p= 0.002), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)(p= 0.001), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score (p= 0.001) and qSOFA score (p= 0.002) were found as independent risk factors. On admission, one point increase of NLR (p= 0.014, odds ratio (OR)= 1.371, 95% CI= 1.067-1.761) and one point increase of LDH (p= 0.047, OR= 1.011, 95% CI= 1.001-1.023) were associated with mortality on day 30 according to logistic regression analysis. The cut-off values were found as> 7.8 for NLR (83.33% sensitivity, 97.7% specificity) and> 300 U/L for LDH (100% sensitivity, 79.31% specificity) regarding the prediction of 30-day mortality. Conclusion In order to improve clinical management and identify the geriatric patients with COVID-19 who have high risk for mortality, NLR and LDH levels on admission might be useful prognostic tools.
