    © TÜBİTAK.Background/aim: Rheumatoid pulmonary nodule can be detected in up to 32% of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and approximately one-third of nodules may cavitate. We aimed to evaluate characteristics of patients with RA developing cavitary pulmonary nodular (CPN) lesions under disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), follow-up of both cavitary and solid nodules, and their outcome with the treatment. Materials and methods: RA patients who presented with CPN lesions during follow-up were recruited retrospectively in this case series analysis. Total numbers and mean diameters of cavitary and solid nodules in each thorax computed tomography (CT) have been determined and followed up by two experienced pulmonary physicians. Moreover, changes in treatment after the development of the CPN lesions and characteristics of cavitary nodules were collected. Results: Eleven patients with CPN lesions were reported. At the time of CPN diagnosis, more patients were taking leflunomide than methotrexate (81% vs 19%). Half of the patients were receiving biologic therapy and only 18% were taking anti-TNF drugs. After a median of 24 (3–65) months of follow-up, the regression of CPN lesions was determined in 45% (5/11) of patients. Four of these 5 (80%) patients were switched to a treatment regimen without leflunomide and three of them to nonanti-TNF biologic treatment or targeted synthetic DMARDs (tocilizumab, tofacitinib, and rituximab). Conclusion: CPN lesions seen in RA patients are often pulmonary manifestations of the underlying disease; however, one must rule out malignancies or infections. If lesions progress under DMARDs, it is advised to discontinue synthetic DMARDs (LEF/MTX) and switch to another biological DMARD with different modes of action.

    Objectives: Drug-related problems (DRPs) result in serious problems among hospitalized patients, high rates of morbidity and mortality, and increased healthcare costs. This study aimed to identify DRPs by clinical pharmacist-led medication review in hospitalized probable patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the COVID-19 inpatient services of a tertiary university hospital in Türkiye for 3 months (between March 2020 and June 2020) and included hospitalized confirmed or probable COVID-19 patients. The World Health Organization and Turkish Ministry of Health Guidelines case definitions were used to define confirmed and probable COVID-19 patients. Six clinical pharmacy residents provided medication review services during their education and training. DRPs were classified based on the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe V9.00. The physician’s acceptance rate of clinical pharmacists’ recommendations was assessed. Results: Among 202 hospitalized patients with probable or confirmed COVID-19, 132 (65.3%) had at least one drug-related problem. Two hundred and sixty-four DRPs were identified. Drug selection (85.6%) and dose selection (9.2%) were the most common causes of these problems. Among the 80 clinical pharmacist interventions, 48.8% were accepted by the physicians. Conclusion: Clinical pharmacists identified a significant number of DRPs during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly those related to drug interactions and drug safety, such as adverse drug reactions. This study highlights the importance of detecting and responding to DRPs in the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Increased D-dimer is associated with disease progression and increased mortality in Turkish COVID-19 patients
    (2023-05-31) MERCANCI, ZEYNEP; ILGIN, CAN; OLGUN YILDIZELİ, ŞEHNAZ; KOCAKAYA, DERYA; BALCAN, MEHMET BARAN; KARAKURT, SAİT; ERYÜKSEL, SEMİHA EMEL; Mercanci Z., ILGIN C., Yildizeli S. O., KOCAKAYA D., Balcan B., Sengel B. E., KARAKURT S., Eryuksel E.
    Objective: Coagulopathy is thought to play an important role in the development of severe COVID-19. High D-dimer levels have been reported in Chinese cohort studies. However, ethnicity has significant implications for thrombotic risk. Our aim in this study is to determine the effect of D-dimer measurements on disease prognosis and mortality in Turkish patients with COVID-19. Patients and Methods: The study was designed retrospectively. Patients over the age of 18 who were admitted to our hospital were included in the study. Results: The study included 226 patients. According to the World Health Organization staging, 75(33.2%) patients, according to the staging of Siddiqi et al., 67 (29.7%) patients progressed. In the ROC analysis performed to predict mortality, AUC value for D-dimer was found to be 82.25% (95%CI 74.8%-89.71%). When the cut-off value for D-dimer was accepted as ≥3.25mg/L, specificity was 94.15%, correctly classified rate 88.5%, positive likelihood ratio as (LR):5.69, negative LR:0.71. Conclusion: As a result, similar to the Chinese cohorts, elevated D-dimer measurements increase disease progression and mortality in Turkish patients with COVID-19. D-dimer levels of 3.25 mg/L and above, strongly determine the risk of increased mortality in the Turkish Caucasian ethnic group.
