The clinical features, treatment and prognosis of neutropenic fever and Coronavirus disease 2019 results of the multicentre teos study. Scientific Reports, 14(1), 1-12.2045-2322https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-55886-whttps://hdl.handle.net/11468/13928This multicentre (22 centres in Turkey) retrospective cohort study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of patients with neutropenic fever and SARS-CoV-2 positivity. Study period was 15 March 2020–15 August 2021. A total of 170 cases (58 female, aged 59 ± 15.5 years) that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. One-month mortality rate (OMM) was 44.8%. The logistic regression analysis showed the following significant variables for the mentioned dependent variables: (i) achieving PCR negativity: receiving a maximum of 5 days of favipiravir (p = 0.005, OR 5.166, 95% CI 1.639–16.280); (ii) need for ICU: receiving glycopeptide therapy at any time during the COVID-19/FEN episode (p = 0.001, OR 6.566, 95% CI 2.137–20.172), the need for mechanical ventilation (p < 0.001, OR 62.042, 95% CI 9.528–404.011); (iii) need for mechanical ventilation: failure to recover from neutropenia (p < 0.001, OR 17.869, 95% CI 3.592–88.907), receiving tocilizumab therapy (p = 0.028, OR 32.227, 95% CI 1.469–707.053), septic shock (p = 0.001, OR 15.4 96% CI 3.164–75.897), and the need for ICU (p < 0.001, OR 91.818, 95% CI 15.360–548.873), (iv) OMM: [mechanical ventilation (p = 0.001, OR 19.041, 95% CI 3.229–112.286) and septic shock (p = 0.010, OR 5.589,95% CI 1.509–20.700)]. Although it includes a relatively limited number of patients, our findings suggest that COVID-19 and FEN are associated with significant mortality and morbidity.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCoronavirus diseaseTreatmentPrognosisThe clinical features, treatment and prognosis of neutropenic fever and Coronavirus disease 2019 results of the multicentre teos studyThe clinical features, treatment and prognosis of neutropenic fever and Coronavirus disease 2019 results of the multicentre teos studyArticle141112WOS:0011846500000162-s2.0-851866104123843327410.1038/s41598-024-55886-wQ1N/A
