| Background COVID-19 disease, which has taken over the world for more than a year, is unfortunately not yet understood and a definitive treatment has not been found. The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in clinical and laboratory tests of critical COVID-19 patients followed in the intensive care unit between March/2020 and December/2020 and to evaluate the factors that cause these changes with literature information. Material and Method In the study, during the beginning of the pandemic and its progress; 50 COVID-19 patients treated in the intensive care unit between March-April-May/2020 were defined as group 1, and 50 COVID-19 patients treated in the intensive care unit between October-November-December/2020 were defined as group 2. Clinical, laboratory and intensive care processes of the patients in the groups were analyzed retrospectively and compared. Results Demographic data were similar between groups. Group 2 patients had higher 28-day mortality, and this result was statistically significant (p= 0.006). Transfer rates of group 1 patients to the service after intensive care were found to be statistically higher (p= 0.029). Conclusion 28-day mortality was found to be different between similar patient groups who were admitted to intensive care during different periods of the pandemic. The reasons for this may be: changes in pathogenicity as a result of viral mutations, different immune responses of hosts to viral infection, intensive care experience of healthcare professionals. |
