Abstract :Background: We aimed to investigate the clinical features, hemodynamic and respiratory profiles as well as prognostic outcomes of critically sick COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICUs);. Methods: This retrospective study was performed using data derived from 99 adult patients treated in the ICU. Demographic and clinical data as well as hemodynamic and respiratory profiles, theraputic outcomes were recorded. The relationship between these features and ICU stay was sought. Results: The average age was 65.94 ± 14.93 years insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(24 to 96);, and 73 patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(73.7%); had comorbidities. Smokers constituted 13.1% of the Covid-19 patient population insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=13); in ICU. Thirty-one cases insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(31.3%); had received at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine and 63 patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(63.6%); died in the ICU after their initial hospitalization. Blood products were utilized in 29 patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(29.3%); and delta mutation was detected in 23 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(23.2%); of ICU patients. The mean duration of ICU stay was 16.90 ± 11.41 days insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 to 60);. The duration of ICU stay was remarkably different between groups receiving different antibiotic regimens insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. There was no significant relationship between the duration of ICU stay and blood groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.052);, systolic insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.572); and diastolic blood pressure insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.098); and initial arterial oxygen saturation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.223);. Conclusion: We detected a high mortality rate in our series with severe COVID-19 infection treated in ICU. These data are critical for understanding the impact of COVID-19 on our hospitals, identifying areas for clinical management improvement, and allowing for continuous international and temporal comparisons of COVID-19 patient outcomes.
