Mortality prediction in the intensive care unit (ICU) is essential patient management. Emerging methods such as machine learning (ML) can be employed to predict ICU patients' mortality. Patients receiving treatment of internal medicine department were subjected ML analysis upon admission, considering demographic, laboratory, and medical scores. Data from 787 patients analyzed, with only a subset (220) included study for 30-day mortality model. The performance boosting, Logistic Regression...

MIF determined batchwise plasma obtained as soon admitted. Both compared with respect demographic characteristics, biochemical parameters prediction requirement...
We aimed to identify clinical settings of renal transplant patients with COVID-19.
No effective treatment has yet been found for SARS-Cov-2, which caused a pandemic outbreak in 2019. It is crucial to detect the progression of COVID-19 patients as early possible. Fibrinogen albumin ratio (FAR) used new inflammatory marker. We aimed find out whether use FAR predictor mortality provides clinical benefit.Data from 590 with March 15, 2020 January 2021 medicine wards and intensive care units (ICU) were retrospectively analysed. Demographic data other laboratory markers collected...
Objective: To investigate and compare complete blood count biochemistry parameters such as c-reactive protein/albumin (CRP/ALB) ratio, procalcitonin/albumin (PRO/ALB) lymphocyte/monocyte (LYM/MON) platelet/lymphocyte (PLT/LYM) ratio of the recovered/deceased, ICU (intensive care unit) /ward patients with COVID-19.
SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: This study aims to determine the incidence of de novo nephritic syndrome (NS) in COVID-19 patients and identify its associated factors. METHODS: All ward with pneumonia were investigated. After determining inclusion exclusion criteria, population was identified. The urine dipstick test protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) measurements performed. Patients NS findings, nasopharyngeal swab, RT-PCR tests performed simultaneously RESULTS: descriptive cross-sectional conducted 21...
Objective: To analyse whether prealbumin could be a new biomarker for predicting mortality in severe COVID-19 patients.Study Design: An observation study.
