“…MPV values show the size of the platelets and changes in MPV values can predict inflammation, sepsis, infective endocarditis, and pneumonia [20]. While some studies demonstrate that high MPV values were associated with mortality in intensive care unit patients, some publications indicate that the MPV values were lower [21,22]. D-dimer and fibrinogen levels which indicate the activation of coagulation pathways and thrombosis were found to be higher in COVID-19 disease.…”

Objectives: We aimed to compare biomarkers of COVID-19 patients with the Alpha variant (B.1.1.7), the Delta variant (B.1.617), and no mutation detected in our study. Methods: A total of 600 patients with positive COVID PCR test and Alpha, Delta variant and no mutation detected with Covid PCR mutation test were included in the study. Troponin I, creatinine, Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), fibrinogen, D-dimer, ferritin, number of lymphocytes, lymphocytes (%), platelet (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), trombosite ratio in the blood (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) values were analyzed retrospectively. The age, gender, and hospitalization of the patients were evaluated concurrently. Results: Age, troponin, creatinine, LDH, PLT, MPV, and D-dimer were laboratory parameters that vary significantly with COVID-19 virus mutation. Age, troponin, LDH, and MPV values were lower in patients with Delta variant according to patients with the Alpha variant. Lymphocytes (N) and lymphocytes (%) values were lower in hospitalized patients relative to outpatients while age, troponin, LDH, CRP, and D-dimer values were higher in hospitalized patients than outpatients irrespective of mutation. Creatinine values were higher only in hospitalized patients with no mutation detected while ferritin and fibrinogen values were higher in hospitalized patients with Delta variant and no mutation detected. Conclusions: Age, troponin, creatinine, LDH, PLT, MPV, D-dimer, fibrinogen, ferritin, CRP, lymphocytes (N), and lymphocytes (%) values can guide to evaluate the diagnosis and hospitalization of patients with future different mutations.

“…Turkey was heavily affected by the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic [ 9 ]. One of the important measures taken to protect the elderly population, one of the risk groups in the course of the pandemic, was to restrict citizens aged 65 and over and people with chronic diseases from leaving their residences and walking around in open areas, in accordance with the circular published by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Turkey.…”

Background During the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic-related lockdowns, modifications in trauma-related behavior and other factors in the elderly population may have occurred. The present retrospective study aimed to compare outcomes from emergency admissions to a major trauma center in Turkey of 1646 elderly patients with traumatic bone fractures that occurred before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown period. Material/Methods A cohort of 1646 elderly trauma patients admitted between September 15, 2019 and September 15, 2020 were retrospectively scanned from the hospital registry system and were grouped as admitted during the COVID-19 pandemic before (Group 1), during (Group 2), or after (Group 3) the lockdown restrictions. Demographic and clinical data were examined by making comparisons between the 3 groups. Results In all groups, female sex was more prevalent. Fractures were more common in the ulna and femur than in other bones ( P =0.026, P =0.035). Among the groups, in Group 2, injuries due to the mechanism of falling from one’s own height on the ground were more prominent (79.2%). Hospital costs were lower in Group 1 ( P <0.001). The majority of hospitalized patients (n=874; 53.1%) were in Group 2 ( P =0.009). Conclusions During pandemic lockdowns, the mechanism of falling from one’s own height was more common in the elderly population. The ulna and femur were the predominant bones fractured. Therefore, during lockdown periods, precautions should be taken to prevent the elderly from falling from their own height.
