    Lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio as a new biomarker for predicting mortality and morbidity in Fournier's gangrene
    (Permanyer Publications, 2024) Yildirim M.; Gul S.C.; Angin Y.S.; Saglam A.I.; Ozsoy U.; Koca B.; Ozkan N.
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to research the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR), and Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI) for predicting prognosis and mortality in patients with Fournier's gangrene (FG). Material and Methods: Patients diagnosed with FG and treated in a tertiary referral hospital in the period from January 2013 to June 2020 were reviewed. LCR, FGSI, and NLR values were calculated. Results: Our series included a total of 41 patients. Of the patients, 78% survived and 21.9% (n = 9) died. Survivors were significantly younger than non-survivors (p = 0.009). Hospital costs were higher in non-survivors and close to statistical significance (p = 0.08). The ROC analysis revealed that the FGSI, LCR, and NLR parameters were significant in identifying survivors and non-survivors (AUC = 0.941 [0.870-1.000], p < 0.001; AUC = 0.747 [0.593-0.900], p = 0.025; and AUC = 0.724 [0.548-0.900], p = 0.042). Conclusion: A low LCR value can be used as a marker to assess mortality and disease severity in patients with Fournier's gangrene. © 2024 Permanyer Publications. All rights reserved.

    Maternal arrhythmias detected with electrocardiography during labour: Are they significant clinically?
    (2011) Köşüş A.; Köşüş N.; Açikgöz N.; Yildirim M.; Kafali H.
    This study examines the maternal and fetal effects of arrhythmias detected by electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring during labour in parturients at term, with no cardiovascular pathology. Pregnant cases were classified into three groups based on determined stages of labour and a standard 12-lead surface electrocardiogram and long-lead 2 rhythm strips were recorded during the labour. Cardiac arrhythmia of any kind was detected in 82.3% of patients in all stages of labour. Sinus tachycardia was the most commonly observed arrhythmia. Arrhythmias in the form of supraventricular tachycardia, T-wave inversion and ventricular extrasystole were also detected. The highest rate of arrhythmia was recorded for the active phase and 2nd phase of labour. Arrhythmias that are detected by ECG during or after the labour in patients with no cardiovascular pathology display a benign nature and do not create any clinical risk for the mother and the baby. © 2011 Informa UK, Ltd.
