Hypothesis: Vitamin D has been considered to play important roles in maintaining pregnancy. Also, this vitamin is considered to regulate immune response and thus may be important for pregnant women also to maintain no-infection of which preterm delivery is especially important. Since vitamin D regulates maternal anti-infection function and since Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) causes various adverse outcomes in pregnancy, we hypothesized that maternal serum vitamin D level may be related with the presence/absence of ASB. The present study was an effort to determine this. The study included 215 pregnant women, attended the Ondokuz Mayis University Hospital antenatal care polyclinic, Samsun, Turkey, in the summer for initial visits between 6- and 14-weeks’ gestation. Women with symptoms suggestive of urinary tract infection, a history of antibiotic use within the previous two weeks, ongoing antibiotic therapy or urinary system instrumentation, a diagnosis of vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency, and those taking vitamin D supplements were excluded. Demographic data features of the sampled women were analyzed retrospectively. 10 ml maternal peripheral venous blood samples were collected and the concentrations of 25(OH)D3 in the serum were analyzed. Mid-stream morning urine samples were obtained and analyzed at the microbiology laboratory according to established procedures. ASB was reported if bacteria were present at specified quantitative counts (≥105

Objective:To identify the clinical characteristics and outcomes of hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection during the vaccination period nationwide in ***:COVID-19 patients followed in the pandemic services across Turkey between January 1,2021,and March 31,2022 were investigated *** COVID-19 was defined as a patient neither diagnosed with COVID-19 nor suspected COVID-19 at the hospital admission and was confirmed COVID-19≥5 days after hospital *** primary outcome of this study was in-hospital mortality;demographic features and vaccination status was compared between survivors and ***:During the study period,15573 COVID-19 patients were followed in 18 centers and 543(3.5%)patients were nosocomial *** patients with nosocomial COVID-19(80.4%)were transferred from medical wards.162(29.8%)of the patients with nosocomial COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit due to disease severity and 138(25.4%)of the patients died during hospital *** age(≥65 years)and number of comorbid diseases(≥2)was found to be associated with mortality in nosocomial COVID-19(OR 1.74,95%CI 1.11-2.74 and OR 1.60,95%CI 1.02-2.56,respectively).Vaccination was associated with survival in nosocomial COVID-19(OR 0.25,95%CI 0.16-0.38).Conclusions:Patients with nosocomial COVID-19 had increased admission to intensive care units and higher mortality *** can decrease the in-hospital mortality rate.
