“…In the other 2 studies, no significant relationship was found between diabetes mellitus and the severity of COVID-19 ([15,16]. Another study showed that it worsens the course of hyperglycemia and COVID-19 [18]. These results are similar to our study.…”

Objective: Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is one of the large-scale pandemics affecting the whole World. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. This study aims to examine the factors that may be effective on COVID-19 disease severity in breast cancer patients. Material and Methods: This study was carried out as a single-center and retrospective study with a total of 65 patients with a pathological diagnosis of breast cancer who were hospitalized between April 2020 and June 2021. The patients were divided into two groups, mild and severe. 35 patients were in the mild group and 30 patients were in the severe group. Patients with oxygen saturation below 93 percent, needing non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation, acute respiratory distress syndrome, shock, and multiple organ failure were included in the severe group. Results: A total of 17 parameters that may affect disease severity were analyzed. As a result of the univariate analysis performed to evaluate the potential factors that may affect the severity of the disease, statistically, significant differences were found: the patient had diabetes mellitus (P=0.050), the neutrophil count increased during hospitalization (P=0.002), the lymphocyte count decreased at admission (P). =0.001), high d-dimer level during hospitalization (P=0.007), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio above 2.55 (P=0.016). Conclusion: As a result, the presence of diabetes mellitus, neutrophilia, lymphocytopenia, high D-dimer, and increased lymphocyte to monocyte ratio in patients with breast cancer may aggravate the course of COVID-19 disease. These parameters may be predictive for closer follow-up in terms of clinical deterioration of the patients.

The coronavirus outbreak is an important challenge and has affected the world since December 2019. Little is known, however, regarding the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on cardiovascular disorders in the cardiology outpatient unit. This trial aimed to examine the nature of patients who were admitted the cardiology outpatient unit before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Totally, 6254 patients who were admitted to the cardiology outpatient unit from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 and January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 were included. The patients who admitted from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 were defined as pre-pandemic group. The patients who were admitted from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 were defined as post-pandemic group. There were 2575 (mean age 57.9±16.9 years, male 47%) patients in pre-pandemic group, while 3679 (mean age 59.1±17.0 years, male 47%) patients in post-pandemic group. The patients in post-pandemic group were significantly older than those in pre-pandemic group (60.0 (46.0-71.0) vs. 62.0 (47.0-73.0) years, p = 0.005). The number of patients who were admitted for hypertension (HT) significantly higher in post-pandemic group compared to pre-pandemic group (930 (36%) vs. 1646 (45%), p<0.001). The new-onset HT was significantly higher in post-pandemic group than in pre-pandemic group (407 (11%) vs. 186 (7%), p<0.001). Admission for atrial fibrillation (AF) was significantly increased after coronavirus pandemic when compared to before (324 (13%) vs. 670 (18%), p<0.001). New-onset AF was also significantly higher in post-pandemic group than in pre-pandemic group (35 (1%) vs. 95 (3%), p=0.001). Not all cardiovascular disorders but admission for HT and AF were significantly increased in the post-pandemic period. With the end of pandemic, physicians should be more careful in the risk prediction of patients who potentially have HT and AF in cardiology outpatient unit.
