TRICS-NET-CRUSH Study

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients admitted to intensive care units following the earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, as well as their treatment approaches and intensive care outcomes. Focusing particularly on crush syndrome, which is the leading cause of intensive care admissions, this multicentre study aims to identify the key risk factors affecting survival and to contribute scientifically to preparedness and intensive care management in future mass disasters.

TRICS- NET TUBERCULOSIS

Aim: This multicentre retrospective study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics, treatment processes, and mortality rates of patients with tuberculosis admitted to the intensive care unit. Additionally, it aims to investigate the primary factors influencing mortality, including comorbidities, nutritional status, and organ failure scoring systems, as well as to identify the relationships between these factors.
