Introduction: This research investigates the effectiveness of measures taken against the COVID-19 pandemic in nursing homes under the responsibility of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Materials and Method: Documents, decisions, and statistical data from the Istanbul Hospice gathered between March 1 and May 31 Results: The average age of the nursing home residents was 70 2 Among them, 29 0% were capable of self-care, while 31 4% were fully dependent on others for care Visitor restrictions, social function cancellations, fever and complaint follow-up, institutional disinfection, the use of personal protective equipment, placarding, new employee shifts, short stays and isolation areas, personnel services, employees and resident screening tests, cargo limitations, and psychologist-sociologist support were implemented in the home to help deal with the pandemic In all, 14 of 930 employees tested positive for the virus when given a COVID-19 PCR test A total of 104 bed-dependent residents received PCR screening tests, and none were positive for the virus There were 23 deaths in total (3 3%) There were no definite COVID-19-related deaths The probable case-related mortality rate was 0 5% Conclusion: Our research shows that the measures taken to address the COVID-19 pandemic in the nursing homes run by the Istanbul Hospice were timely and effective Our data indicates that, if the finance and service structures of the nursing homes are met, and local authorities have control over the administrative organization, there will be no fatal outbreaks associated with COVID-19

Materials and Method: The records of 144 patients ages 65 years and older who underwent hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients’ records included age, gender, fracture type, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, the time between fracture and surgery, the time between surgery and discharge, length of hospital stay, preexisting comorbidities, preoperative c-reactive protein and albumin levels, and mortality.

Results: In 90 HZ cases; the number of HZ cases over the age of 65 was 38 (42,2%), and the number of HZ cases under the age of 65 was 52 (57,7%). PHN developed in 53 (58.8%) of 90 HZ cases. While the initial VAS score (p <0.001) (p <0.001) and the presence of chronic disease (p=0,05) (p <0.001) were found significant in the development of PHN in both HZ cases above and under 65 years of age, antiviral intake in the first 72 hours (p> 0.05) (p>0,05) were not found significant. Also in the HZ cases over 65 years of age, the affected dermatome (p <0.05) and in the HZ cases under 65 years of age, gender (p=0,05) was found significant in the development of PHN.

Materials and Methods: The population of the study consisted of 24,489 people aged 65 and over with a chronic disease registered to a family doctor in Burdur Province. In order to determine their immunization status, data were collected from 488 people after performing face-to-face interviews by calculating the sample size necessary for 50% prevalence, 5% margin of error, and 97% reliability. The dependent variable of the study was immunization, and socioeconomic status, immunization status, and sociodemographic features were independent variables.

Introduction: The most important matter on which a consensus is built about COVID-19 disease is that the elderly are one of the most vulnerable risk groups In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the fragility of the elderly Materials and Methods: The study is a cross-sectional study conducted at the end of the sixth month of the pandemic Our study included 319 elderly individuals The elderly individuals were reached at the primary level health centers "FRAIL Frailty Scale" and "Coronavirus Fear Scale" were used in the evaluation Results: The results showed that 72 4% of the elderly population could not comply with the routine health checks and chronic complaints increased to 39 3% during social isolation In the first six-month period of the pandemic, it was found that the prefrail and fragile elderly population increase by 4 7% and 6 6%, respectively The fragility risk increased by 1 03 times (OR:1 001-1 007) as COVID-19 fear increased, while 2 2 times (OR:1 23-3 94) in those with diabetes, 1 88 times (OR:1 01-3 49) in those with cardiovascular diseases, and 2 15 times (OR:1 07-4 34) in those who postponed their routine health checks Conclusion: Early stage results of social isolation measures taken for the elderly within the scope of the pandemic indicated that fear of coronavirus infection increased fragility among the elderly Elderly health evaluations should continue in the further stages of the pandemic
