Objective: A new viral disease was identified in December 2019, and named COVID-19 by WHO in February 2020. In this article, demographic data, risk factors of the disease, intensive care scores, and the relationship between all these and mortality of patients with COVID-19 severe pneumonia followed in our intensive care unit (ICU) were examined. Material and Methods: The data of 865 COVID'19 severe pneumonia patients hospitalized in our ICU between 01-03-2020 and 31-03-2021 were analyzed. Demographic data, comorbidities, SOFA and APACHEII scores of the patients, and correlation of these parameters with mortality were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.28±14.9. The mean age of the patients in the non-survivor and surviving groups was found to be statistically different (72.41±12.7 vs. 62.08±15.1 respectively). For APACHEII score on first day, the cutoff value was 10.5, which was statistically significant. The effect of SOFA scoring on mortality was analyzed separately for the 1st, 7th, 14th and 28th days. It was found that chronic kidney failure (CKF), heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease (CAD), and neurologic pathology had significant effects on mortality. Mortality was 1.782 times higher for those without CKF, 1.714 times for those without HF, 1.605 times for those without CAD, and 1.331 times for those without Neurological Pathology. Conclusion: Risk factors in patients with COVID-19 severe pneumonia were revealed in detail. While treating the disease, it should be considered that age, presence of additional disease and intensive care scores are important in the management of the disease.

Amaç: İlk olarak Aralık 2019'da Wuhan'da yeni birviral enfeksiyon tanımlandı ve dünyada hızlı yayılım gösteren bu hastalık DSÖ tarafından Şubat 2020'de COVID-19 olarak adlandırıldı. Bu makalede COVID-19 ağır pnömonili, yoğun bakımımızda izlenen hastaların demografik verileri, risk faktörleri, yoğun bakım skorlamaları ile mortalite ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 01 Mart 2020 - 31 Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında anesteziyoloji yoğun bakımlarında yatan 865 COVID-19 ağır pnömonisi tanılı hastanın verileri incelendi. Hastaların demografik verileri, ek hastalıkları, SOFA ve APACHE II skorları ile bu parametrelerin mortalite ile korelasyonu değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 67.28±14.9 idi. Ölen ve hayatta kalan gruplardaki hastaların yaş ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak farklı bulundu (sırasıyla 72.41±12.7, 62.08±15.1). APACHE II 1.gün skorları için %70,3 duyarlık ve % 66 özgüllük ile cut-off değeri 10,5 olup anlamlı bulundu.SOFA skorlamasının mortalite üzerine etkisi 1,7,14 ve 28. günler için ayrı ayrı incelendi ve tüm zamanlar için bu skorlamanın mortalite üzerinde etkisi olduğu görüldü. Hastaların ek hastalıkları incelendiğinde kronik böbrek yetmezliği (KBY), kalp yetmezliği (KY), koroner arter hastalığı (KAH) ve nörolojik patolojinin mortalite üzerinde anlamlı etkileri bulunmuştur. Mortalite için KBY varlığı 1,782 kat, KY varlığı 1,714 kat, KAH varlığı 1,605 kat ve nörolojik patoloji varlığı ise olmayanlara göre 1,331 kat daha fazla idi. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak bu çalışma ile COVID-19 ağır pnömoli hastalarda risk faktörleri ayrıntılı olarak ortaya konulmuştur. Hastalığı tedavi ederken yaş, ek hastalık varlığı ve yoğun bakım skorlamalarının hastalığın yönetiminde önemli olduğunun dikkate alınması gerekmektedir.
