The Effect of Extended Hydroxychloroquine in Intensive Care Management of Covid 19 on Survival and Costs

INTRODUCTION: There is a broad spectrum of action against most coronaviruses and especially viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. While the hydroxychloroquine treatment recommendation in the national treatment guidelines was 5 days at the beginning of the pandemic, it was recommended as 10 days in cases where the clinic deteriorated under hydroxychloroquine treatment since 14 April. In this retrospective, observational, single-center study, it was aimed to reveal the effect of hydroxychloroquine treatment duration on the day of hospitalization, mechanical ventilation requirement, duration, survival and cost in patients with COVID-19 in intensive care unit. METHODS: Following the approval of the Ethics Committee, the data of the first 50 patients (Group 1) who received hydroxychloroquine for 5 days and the first 50 patients (Group 2) who received 10 days were included in the study. Patients' age, gender, additional diseases, COVID-19 testings, hydroxychloroquine treatment days, invasive mechanical ventilator requirement and duration, intensive care hospitalization day, mortality and costs were recorded. RESULTS: The duration of hospitalization in patients in group 2 was longer than group 1 (9,4 days vs 13,8 days, p=0

Covid 19'un Yoğun Bakım Yönetiminde Uzatılmış Hidroksiklorokinin Sağkalım ve Maliyetler Üzerindeki Etkisi

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Hidroksiklorokin, çoğu koronavirüse ve özellikle SARS-CoV-2 dahil olmak üzere virüslere karşı geniş bir etki yelpazesi vardır. Ulusal tedavi kılavuzlarındaki hidroksiklorokin tedavi önerisi pandeminin başlangıcında 5 gün iken, 14 Nisan'dan itibaren hidroksiklorokin tedavisi altında kliniğin kötüleştiği durumlarda 10 gün olarak önerilmiştir. Bu retrospektif, gözlemsel, tek merkezli çalışmada, yoğun bakımda COVID-19 ile izlenen hastalarda hidroksiklorokin tedavi süresinin hastanede kalış günü, mekanik ventilasyon gereksinimi, süresi, sağkalıma ve maliyet üzerine etkisinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Etik Kurul onayının ardından 5 gün süreyle hidroksiklorokin alan ilk 50 hastanın (Grup 1) ve 10 gün alan ilk 50 hastanın (Grup 2) verileri çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, ek hastalıkları, COVID-19 testleri, hidroksiklorokin tedavi günleri, invazif mekanik ventilatör ihtiyacı ve süresi, yoğun bakımda yatış günü, mortalite varlığı ve maliyetleri kaydedildi. BULGULAR: Grup 2'deki hastaların hastanede kalış süresi grup 1'den daha uzundu (9,4 güne karşı 13,8 gün, p = 0
