[Characterization of patients treated in the Miskolc Dialysis Center, regarding mortality, body composition and treatment modality]

LADÁNYI Erzsébet, CSURGYÓK Roland, KUN Szilárd, WITTMANN István

[According to some authors, obesity and higher body mass index (BMI) may be associated with better survival in certain populations of patient. It is suggested that higher BMI has a protective effect in dialyzed patients, thus strengthening the concept of obesity-paradox (or the reverse epidemiology).]

[A brief Introduction to the Concepts related to Telemedicina and a Review of International Experience in the Practical Application of Telephysiotherapy]

BACSKAI Katalin, NAGY Helga, LÁM Judit

[The events of the SARS-COV-19 pandemic have highlighted the need to focus on a number of tools and methods to improve the delivery of healthcare. Telemedicine can help in this innovation. The use of telemedicine during the Covid-19 pandemic was new in our country, but has long been used abroad. International experience, as well as that we gained during the covid pandemic, shows that the methodology is worth using in the domestic health care system in the future.  The primary aim of this paper is to introduce the concepts related to telehealth. A sub-objective is to briefly review international practice. With our study we want to help to increase the knowledge of health professionals about telemedicine.]

[Recognition of Sepsis Presenting with Atypical Symptoms, in Hemodynamically Stable Patients]

MÁTÉ-PÓHR Kitti, HANESS János, PRUGBERGER József, KÖCSE Tamás, KOVÁCS István, PAKAI Annamária

[The prevalence of asymptomatic, haemodynamically stable, septic, elderly patients in oxyological care is considerable. Our aim was to describe the prevalence, sociodemographic cha­rac­teristics, triage category, disposition, and lactate level of these patients.

 

Our research method was a quanitative, retrospective document analysis. Our sample group consisted of patients treated for sepsis between 01/01/2024 and 29/02/2024, aged 65 years or older, with atypical symptoms (n=103).

 

Septicaemia BNO-code, 44.23% of patients diagnosed with septicaemia had elderly, cardiorespiratory stable, asymptomatic sepsis. The study found that residents of social institutions had a significantly higher proportion of deaths from sepsis (p=0.004). We found that the group of triage categories that were re-generated based on NEWS scores was significantly lower (p=0.000).

Asymptomatic sepsis in old age is a major disease process with a high mortality rate. The development of a standardised care protocol could be useful.
