Aim: To evaluate the characteristics and accompanying comorbidities of patients aged 65 years and older who presented to the emergency department with head trauma and were evaluated as forensic cases. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with a retrospective evaluation of 157 patients aged 65 years and over who were admitted to the emergency department and evaluated as forensic cases. Results: The most common cause of head trauma was a fall. Of the patients, 38.9% were hospitalized for follow-up, 14% were followed up in the intensive care unit (ICU), and 14% died. Falling from a height, the presence of accompanying thoracic trauma, and an increased number of requested consultations were statistically associated with hospitalization (p<0.001). There was a statistically significant relationship between mortality and the presence of falling from a height as the cause of trauma, accompanying pelvic trauma, hemorrhage on brain computed tomography, ICU follow-up requirement, and active partial thromboplastin time among the coagulation parameters (p<0.001). Conclusion: Trauma has become the most important socioeconomic problem due to its consequences, such as death and disability in elderly patients. Intracranial bleeding, the presence of accompanying conditions, increases mortality; therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is required in the emergency care of this patient.

Aim: To evaluate the power of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in the prediction of mortality in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) presenting at the emergency department (ED). Materials and Methods: The study included patients who presented at the ED between April 2020 and November 2022 and were hospitalized for treatment in the Infectious Diseases Department. The demographic data, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and SII were recorded. Categorical data were analyzed with the chi-square test and continuous data with the Mann-Whitney U test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the factors predicting the risk of mortality. Results: The SII value (p=0.010) and NLR (p<0.001) were determined to be significantly higher and the PLR (p=0.015) was significantly lower in CCHF patients who developed mortality compared to those who did not. ROC analysis showed the NLR and SII parameters to be significant in the prediction of mortality. Conclusion: SII at the time of presentation at the ED can be used for predicting the mortality in CCHF patients.

Aim: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the influence of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the incidence, characteristics, and clinical consequences of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Materials and Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases up to May 30, 2023 for studies containing comparative data of OHCA patients in COVID-19 and pre-pandemic periods. Results: A total of 35 articles concerning to 34 studies screening based on the inclusion criteria. COVID-19 was associated with higher incidence of OHCA at home compared with the pre-pandemic period (p<0.001), longer emergency medical services arrival time (p<0.001), longer on-scene time (p<0.001), as well as reduction of shockable rhythms (p=0.02). COVID-19 compared with the pre-pandemic period was associated with lower survival to hospital admission (11.2% vs. 19.3%; p<0.001). Survival to hospital discharge (SHD) was 4.8% vs. 12.9%, respectively (p<0.001), while SHD with a good neurological outcome also varied and amounted to 3.6% vs. 5.8%, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion: COVID-19, compared with the pre-pandemic period, was characterized by a reduced rate of defibrillation rhythms during OHCA, as well as a worse prognosis in terms of both survival to hospital admission, SHD, and SHD good neurological outcome.
