BACKGROUND

The current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic is the third time a zoonotic coronavirus has infected humans over the past 18 years. As of March 24 2020, the number of confirmed cases and deaths of COVID-19 pneumonia in China was 81218 which shows that the death rate of COVID-19 is 4%. 1 As of January 2021, the number of people diagnosed with COVID-19 worldwide exceeded the number 86.7 million; while the case fatality rate in 222 countries and territories is 2.17%. The first case of COVID-19 was reported in Indonesia on March 2 2020 and as of January 8 2021, there were 818,386 confirmed cases and 23,947 deaths (CFR 2.92%). 2

Some COVID-19 patients can develop ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), heart failure and pulmonary embolism. ARDS is the most common etiology in COVID-19 patients to be admitted to the ICU. The average ICU admission occurs around 10 days after the onset of symptoms and 14 days after COVID-19 infection. The mortality rate for COVID-19 in the ICU is double that for other causes of viral pneumonia that require ICU3. The recorded prevalence of COVID ICU patients in China with ICU death within 28 days was 39% for (ICU population 344 patients), even reaching 97% in the subgroup of 100 patients requiring IMV. 4 Most patients admitted to the COVID ICU due to ARDS will eventually require prolonged mechanical ventilation (VM) and increase mortality. Reported mortality rates in ICU patients with severe COVID-19 range from 50-65%, and in patients requiring VM the rate is as high as 97%.5

In the results of laboratory tests, most of the patients experienced a decrease in the number of white blood cells, and lymphocytopenia. But in severe patients, the neutrophil count, D-dimer, blood urea, and creatinine levels were significantly higher, and the lymphocyte count continued to fall. A report from Wuhan, China, showed that 71% of the 183 people who died from COVID-19 met the criteria for diffuse intravascular coagulation. Similar to other respiratory viral diseases, such as influenza, severe lymphopenia can occur in individuals with COVID-19 when SARS-CoV-2 infects and kills T lymphocyte cells. humoral and cellular immunity), impair lymphopoiesis and enhance lymphocyte apoptosis.7

In Patients. COVID-19 occurs a series of inflammatory processes in the body. Some evidence shows that the exacerbation of disease in COVID-19 is closely related to dysregulation and excessive cytokine release which is characterized by increased C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL) 6, and ferritin. Procalcitonin production is associated with the presence of bacterial endotoxins and inflammatory cytokines such as TNF, IL-1B and IL-6, so that procalcitonin can be used to predict respiratory tract infections with bacterial or viral etiology. Research on 1,735 research subjects with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) showed that the accuracy of procalcitonin in differentiating bacterial and viral infections reached 70%, with a sensitivity of 80.9% and a specificity of 51.6%.

DISCUSSION

Various studies have reported high mortality among COVID-19 patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The ICU accepts critically ill patients and supports patients through critical phases. Approximately 10–15% of COVID-19 patients require hospitalization, and 20–30% of patients who are hospitalized develop severe or life-threatening symptoms. Reported mortality rates for COVID-19 patients are 20–40% among hospitalized patients and 30–88% among critically ill patients admitted to the ICU, but these rates vary widely between countries and regions.10 11

The mortality rate of COVID-19 patients treated in the Negative Pressure ICU (RITN) at RSUP HAM in the 18-35 year age group was 10 patients (14.1%), the 36-45 year age group was 12 patients (16.9%) , the age group of 46-55 years were 23 patients (32.4%) and the age group 56-65 years were 26 patients (36.6%). A significant relationship was found between age and mortality of COVID-19 patients treated in the Negative Pressure ICU (RITN) at RSUP HAM (p<0.05). 30 male COVID-19 patients who died (42.3%) while 41 female patients (57.7%) died and the results of the bivariate test found a significant relationship between gender and mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. in the COVID Negative Pressure ICU (RITN) at RSUP HAM (p<0.05).

Based on the type of oxygen supplement used, 3 patients (4.2%) died with use, 17 people (23.9%) in the HFNC group and 51 patients (71.8%) used mechanical ventilation. The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between oxygen supplementation and mortality of COVID-19 patients treated in the Negative Pressure ICU (RITN) at RSUP HAM (p<0.05). At the time of hospital admission, the Mean + (SD) BMI was in the obese range (ie, 30.8 [8.5]), and about a quarter of the patients were receiving supplemental oxygen.

In a 2020 cohort study conducted at 3 teaching hospitals in the United States. Of 217 critically ill patients, the mortality for patients requiring mechanical ventilation was 35.7% (59/165), with 4.8% of patients (8/165) still on a ventilator at the time of this report. Mortality was significantly associated with older age, lower body mass index, chronic kidney disease, higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, lower PaO2/Fio2 ratio, higher d-dimer, higher C-reactive protein. higher, and acceptance of mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, renal replacement therapy, or vasodilator therapy. Nearly half of COVID-19 patients who received Invasive Mechanical Ventilation died based on reported CFR, but methods of reporting variable CFRs resulted in varying CFRs among studies. Reported CFRs were higher in older patients and in early pandemic epicenters, which may have been influenced by limited ICU resources. Preliminary reports on a cohort study from Seattle, where some of the first COVID-19 outbreaks occurred in the United States, indicated that 50–67% of patients admitted to the ICU and 71–75% of those who received invasive mechanical ventilation died.

Patients with comorbid DM who died were 20 people (28.2%), in the hypertension group there were 33 people (46.5%), in the asthma group there were 9 people (12.7%), in the CKD group there were 4 people (5 .6%), in the COPD group there were 2 people (2.8%), in the pulmonary TB group there were 3 people (4.2%) The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between comorbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients treated in the ICU. Negative (RITN) COVID RSUP HAM (p<0.05). Hypertension is the most common comorbidity and is found in more than half of patients, followed by diabetes in more than one third of patients. Pulmonary disease (including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) occurs in up to one fifth of patients. Cancer was found in 2560 patients (12.3%), chronic kidney disease in 2628 patients (12.7%), and heart failure in 2343 patients (11.3%). Zha et al's study also showed that more than half of the patients (n = 117, 57.1%) had comorbid diseases. Compared with patients without comorbidities, patients with comorbidities had significantly higher mortality (HR: 1.83; 95% CI: 1.04−3.22), but significance disappeared after adjustment for multivariable factors (HR: 1.43 ; 95% CI: 0.76−2.69). The mortality rate for patients with comorbidities was 35.0%, and for patients with moderate and severe symptoms at diagnosis was 36.1%. 69). The mortality rate for patients with comorbidities was 35.0%, and for patients with moderate and severe symptoms at diagnosis was 36.1%. 69). The mortality rate for patients with comorbidities was 35.0%, and for patients with moderate and severe symptoms at diagnosis was 36.1%.

Patients with length of stay <10 days who died as many as 55 people (77.5%) while patients with length of stay ≥ 10 days who died as many as 16 people (22.5%) The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between length of stay and mortality COVID-19 patients treated in the Negative Pressure ICU (RITN) at RSUP HAM (p<0.05). The mean length of stay in ICU was 20.6 days during Batch 1 (1 February–24 May 2020) and decreased to 16.3 days between periods and to 17.2 days during Batch 2 (5 October 2020–31 January 2021 ) and decreased more significantly to 16.0 days in Wave 3 (1 February 2021–30 June 2021). In the study by Dongelmans et al, the decreased length of stay in the ICU was caused by several reasons, namely a change in management for the most characteristic symptom of COVID-19 patients, namely hypoxia. In the process of several waves of COVID-19, there has been a decrease in the use of mechanical ventilation. On the other hand, because invasive mechanical ventilation has negative effects and can cause lung damage, COVID-19 patients are still given mechanical ventilation management as needed.12

The mean NLR value in patients who died was 7.06 ± 3.23. From the results of the analysis, it was found that there was a significant relationship between the NLR value and the mortality of COVID-19 patients treated in the Negative Pressure ICU (RITN) at RSUP HAM (p<0.05). The data of Cedano et al show that the majority of patients in the ICU with COVID 19 have decreased absolute lymphocyte counts. This finding is associated with poor outcomes in COVID 19 patients. According to some studies this pathogen can use ACE 2 receptors on lymphocytes to enter cells and cause direct viral toxicity. Another hypothesis suggests an indirect mechanism related to the release of proinflammatory cytokines in response to SARS-CoV2 infection which can activate the apoptotic pathway in lymphocytes.(12)The HR value of 1.053 found in the Al Mutair Study for neutrophil count implies that for each increase in neutrophil count, the estimated hazard (death) of COVID-19 patients in the ICU increases by 5.3%.15

D-dimer is a product of fibrin degradation that is increased in thrombotic events, indicating fibrinolysis. Scientists studied D-dimer levels in critical COVID-19 pneumonia and their association with high risk of VTE, disease severity, and risk of death. Elevated D-dimer values ​​contribute to poor prognosis and high mortality in these patients. High D-Dimer values ​​may be associated with activation of the coagulation cascade secondary to Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) in COVID-19 patients. Zhou et al demonstrated an association between high D-dimer levels and disease severity in 129 COVID-19 patients treated at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center. According to the results, the increase in D-dimer levels in mild and severe infections was <2 × Upper Normal Limit (ULN) and >10 ULN, respectively. This was proven when Mucha et al defined the D-dimer threshold value for high-risk patients as six times the upper limit, which is 3000 ng/mL Fibrinogen Equivalent Units [FEU]. Similarly, Artifoni's study showed positive predictive values ​​of 44% and 67% for D-dimer levels of 1.0 g/mL and 3.0 g/m, respectively, in his cohort of 65 of 71 COVID-19 VTE patients. All studies, however, show a strong association between D-dimer levels and the occurrence of all types of VTE in COVID-19 patients. So it is necessary to perform daily D-dimer assessment to assess disease progress in severely infected patients. Thus, anticoagulant therapy should be initiated once the D-dimer level is >1000 ng/mL. namely 3000 ng/mL Fibrinogen Equivalent Units [FEU].

The general mechanisms of increased D dimers are viremia and cytokine storm syndrome, in which increases in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, TNF-α) are not controlled by increased anti-inflammatory factors. on the coagulation cascade. Hypoxia leads to hypoxia-induced activation of transcription factor-dependent signaling pathways, predisposing to thrombosis. This disease most often affects elderly patients and comorbidities. Advanced age and common comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease can increase the risk of thrombosis in patients.
