Lung cancer is the most common cause of malignant pleural effusions (MPEs). For patients with lung and MPE, median survival only 3-4 months. The aim this study was to evaluate MPE by clinical laboratory findings on admission, determine 2-year rate prognostic factors.Between 2008 2011, we examined 199 cases non-small cell carcinoma MPE. Demographic factors patients, tumor characteristics, treatment delivered parameters affecting prognosis were evaluated. Survival rates estimated Kaplan-Meier...
The long-term prognosis of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has attracted increasing interest in recent years. objective the present study is to investigate short and outcomes hospitalized CAP identify predictive factors associated mortality. was designed as a retrospective, multicenter, observational study. Hospitalized CAP, recorded database Turkish Thoracic Society between 2011 2013, were included. Short-term mortality defined 30-day assessed from those who survived 30...
Background: Previous reports have shown that vaccination rates of adult at-risk populations are low in Turkey. There differing with regards to the effectiveness influenza and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) on clinical outcomes community acquired pneumonia (CAP). The purpose this study was analyze (FV) (PV) status, factors influence receipt influenza/pneumococcal effects prior adults hospitalized CAP. Patients Methods: CAP between March 2009 October 2013 registered at web-based...
The optimal empiric antibiotic regimen for patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical cure rate, mortality, and length of stay among hospitalized community- acquired in nonintensive care unit (ICU) wards treated a β-lactam, β-lactam macrolide combination, or fluoroquinolone.This prospective cohort was performed using standardized web-based database sheets from January 2009 September 2013 nine tertiary hospitals Turkey.Six...
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) accounts for an important part of hospital admissions and health expenses worldwide. The cost increases when treated in a hospital, reports on this issue are limited Turkey. This study aimed to investigate direct costs factors affecting these patients who were hospitalized our clinic because the diagnosis CAP.The records had been CAP retrospectively reviewed. Demographic features, radiological severity index (PSI), CURB-65 scorings, duration...
ABSTRACT Keratosis lichenoides chronica (KLC) is a rare chronic disease characterized by violaceous, papular and nodular lesions typically arranged in linear reticulate pattern. The etiology of KLC unknown, but it may be associated with internal diseases such as hypothyroidism, glomerulonephritis lymphoproliferative disorders. Herein, we describe the case 44‐year‐old male patient characteristic on trunk extremities, present for 12 years. clinical diagnosis was proven histopathological...
Even though there have been considerable improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, prognostic factors for elderly patients with advanced nonsmall-cell cancer (NSCLC) remain insufficient. Therefore, our aim is to compare young cases stage NSCLC.The data 370 (<65 years old) (>or=65 NSCLC (Stage IIIB or IV) treated between 1995 2008 were retrospectively evaluated study at oncology department. Demographic characteristics, response, comorbidities, pleural effusion, performance...
To evaluate the utility of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) determined at initial diagnosis in predicting advanced disease stage and discriminating between active stable sarcoidosis.A total 465 patients with biopsy-proven sarcoidosis (age: 47 years, 70.5% females) were included this retrospective cross-sectional study. Data on patient demographics, stage, clinical status (stable active), anti-inflammatory treatments, complete blood count, inflammatory markers including erythrocyte...
A first case of endobronchial mucosal neuroma with sarcoidosis is hereby reported. 67-year female patient, who was diagnosed as previously, admitted to our hospital symptoms dyspnea, chest pain and fatigue. Middle lobe atelectasis lesion were observed in thorax computed tomography (CT). Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed polypoid lesions histopathological examination biopsy material showed clustered nerve bundles consistent non-necrotising granulomas sarcoidosis. Mucosal neuromas are...
Objective: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease, exact cause of disease unknown but it assumed that genetic predisposition and ethnic factors play role in etiology.Studies related with familial sarcoidosis limited only case reports about available from our country.We aimed to evaluate the prevelance clinical findings cases sarcoidosis. Methods:We retrospectively documented file records 678 patients diagnosed followed up outpatient clinic January 1996 February 2016.28 14 families were...
Introduction The study aimed to evaluate the potential role of inflammatory markers (neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet (PLR), mean volume (PLT/MPV), C-reactive protein (CRP), CRP/albumin) and demographic, clinical laboratory parameters in predicting mortality elderly patients. Material methods A total 1971 very (age ≥ 80 years) patients hospitalized due acute respiratory diseases were included this retrospective cohort study. Data on patients’ demographics, reasons for admission,...
The first decision to be made in the case of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is whether hospitalization patient mandatory. In this study, we aimed investigate addition oxygenation parameters CURB-65 has diagnostic value predicting mortality CAP.A total 903 CAP patients were included study. Patients with a score 0 and 1 classified as Group 2 or more 2. prediction through Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI), CURBS-65/CURBP-65 SaO2 PaO2 values; hence four different models, was compared among all...
Aim. Tuberculous pleurisy is one of the most common form pulmonary tuberculosis, and may be confused with many other diseases.This study was designed to assess diagnostic value pleural fluid neopterin levels in patients tuberculous pleurisy.Methods.A total 57 [tuberculosis (n=30), malignant effusion (n=17), due congestive heart failure (n=10)] were included study.The measurement conducted by enzymeimmunassay method Trinity-Biotech XL fully automatic ELISA kit device IBL kit.Results.The...
Objective: This study was an evaluation of differences in the inflammatory markers Creactive protein (CRP) level, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet countto-mean volume (PLT/MPV), and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) patients with pulmonary candidiasis aspergillosis.Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional performed data who were diagnosed aspergillosis between 2016 2017 according to records hospital information system.The results date hemograms, biochemistry values, C-reactive...
Introduction The aim of the study was to evaluate inflammatory markers (neutrophil lymphocyte ratio [NLR], platelet [PLR], mean volume [PLT/MPV], C-reactive protein [CRP], CRP/albumin) in hospitalized patients with bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and differentiate between Gram-positive Gram-negative groups admission discharge findings. Material methods A total 170 adult CAP due (n = 130) 40) pathogens were included this retrospective study. Complete blood count (CBC) (NLR, PLR,...
<b>Aim:</b> In the literature, there is no study that focuses on frequency of ICS use and differences between users non-users in patients with pneumonia.Our aim to search for regarding clinical characteristics,laboratory parameters,duration hospitalization response treatment pneumonia patients. <b>Methods:</b> 1069 were included study.Patients(n:922) divided into two groups as non-users.Differential characteristics evaluated using regression analysis. <b>Results:</b> 227out 922patients...
Adult Onset Still Disease (AOSD) is a rare inflammatory disease.

Introduction:We evaluated mortality rate and factors related to short(30 days) long term of community-acquired pneumonia(CAP). <b>Methods:</b> Patients registered "Pneumonia Data Base,TURCAP" that prepared by Turkish Thoracic Society Respiratory Infections Scientific Assembly between January 2009-2013 were included. Characteristics clinical-laboratory findings, pneumonia indices obtained. All cause was recorded. <b>Results:</b> Of the 785 patients,68% male, mean age 66±16 years. The median...
Objective: The early and local advanced stages (IA-IIIA) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) warrant the curative treatment approach surgery. However, despite surgical approach, survival depends on a number factors. aim study was to examine factors that affect in operated NSCLC patients with these stages. Methods: A cohort 231 IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA were analyzed. effects age, sex, comorbidity, performance status, histopathology tumor, T stage, N pleural invasion, resection type...
