    Background: Earthquakes can cause psychological trauma among survivors as well as physical trauma. This study aims to determine the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and identify associated risk factors among earthquake survivors after the 2023 Turkey earthquake. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the emergency department of a tertiary uni-versity hospital between May 6, 2023, and May 16, 2023. An online questionnaire was sent to the participants. The questionnaire form consisted of three parts. In the first part, the sociodemographic characteristics of the par-ticipants were included. In the second part, the participants were asked about their experiences with the earth-quake. In the third part, the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which screens PTSD among the participants, was included. Participants who did not complete all the questions and had severe communication disorders were excluded. Results: The prevalence of probable PTSD among the participants was 51.4% (n = 197). Age (OR: 0.96 95% CI: 0.93-99), female gender (OR: 4.54 95% CI: 2.39-8.61), being the head of the family (OR: 2.00 95% CI: 1.04-3.82), bereavement (OR: 1.71 95% CI: 1.03-2.82), lost loved ones (OR: 3.15 95% CI: 1.67-5.92), low social support (OR: 1.80 95% CI: 1.12-2.90) and receiving emergency care at the field (OR: 6.67 95% CI: 1.03-43.2) were the associated risk factors of PTSD among earthquake survivors. Conclusions: The prevalence of PTSD among survivors three months after the 2023 Turkey earthquake is over half of the survivors. Younger age, female gender, being the head of the family, bereavement, lost loved ones, low so-cial support, and receiving emergency care in the field were the associated risk factors of PTSD among earthquake survivors. Considering survivors may visit EDs until other outpatient clinics are re-established and the high rate of PTSD, rapid psychological evaluations can be performed in emergency departments. Emergency physicians should be aware of possible risk factors and high rate of PTSD. & COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    The prognostic value of rapid risk scores among patients with community-acquired pneumonia A retrospective cohort study
    (Springer Wien, 2023) Ilhan, Bugra; Berikol, Goksu Bozdereli; Dogan, Halil
    BackgroundCommunity-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent reason for emergency department (ED) presentations. Various risk scores have been validated in the management of CAP and are recommended for daily practice.ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of the rapid risk scores (the rapid acute physiology score (RAPS), the rapid emergency medicine score (REMS), the Worthing physiological scoring system (WPS), CURB-65 and CRB-65) among patients with CAP.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted in the ED of a tertiary hospital between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019. Patients aged & GE; 18 years and diagnosed with CAP were included. Patients who were transferred from another center or with missing records were excluded. Demographic information, vital signs, level of consciousness, laboratory results, and outcomes were recorded.ResultsA total of 2057 patients were included in the final analysis. The 30-day mortality of the patients was 15.2% (n = 312). The WPS achieved the most successful results for all three outcomes, 30-day mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mechanical ventilation (MV) needs (area under the curve, AUC 0.810, 0.918, and 0.910, respectively; p < 0.001). In the prediction of mortality, RAPS, REMS, CURB-65, and CRB-65 had a moderate overall performance (AUC 0.648, 0.752, 0.778, and 0.739, respectively). In the prediction of ICU admission and MV needs, RAPS, REMS, CURB-65, and CRB-65 had moderate to good overall performance (AUC at ICU admission 0.793, 0.873, 0.829, and 0.810; AUC for MV needs 0.759, 0.892, 0.754, and 0.738, respectively). Advanced age, lower levels of mean arterial pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation, presence of active malignancy and cerebrovascular disease, and ICU admission were associated with mortality (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe WPS outperformed other risk scores in patients with CAP and can be used safely. The CRB-65 can be used to discriminate critically ill patients with CAP due to its high specificity. The overall performances of the scores were satisfactory for all three outcomes.
