The study was planned within a national network of 21 different centers. Demographics, FMF-related clinical and genetic characteristics, and COVID-19 outcomes were obtained. A total of 822 patients with FMF (mean age of 36 years) were included in the study. Fifty-nine of them (7%) had a COVID-19 diagnosis confirmed by real-time PCR test or chest CT findings. Most FMF patients with COVID-19 (58) had mild and moderate disease activity. All patients were on colchicine treatment. However, 8 of them (13.6%) were not compliant with colchicine use and 9 of them (15.3%) were colchicine resistant. Twelve FMF patients with COVID-19 were hospitalized. There were 4 patients requiring oxygen support. COVID-19 related complications were observed in 2 patients (1 thromboembolism, 1 acute respiratory distress syndrome). Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with FMF were older than non-hospitalized patients (median ages: 51 and 31 years, respectively; p: 0.002). Other FMF-related characteristics were similar between the groups. FMF-related characteristics were not found to be associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19. Thus, FMF may not be a risk factor for poor COVID-19 outcomes.Publication Metadata only Evaluation of the physical and emotional effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with fibromyalgia and chronic low back pain: A multicenter cross-sectional controlled study(2022-09-01) Bagcier, Fatih; Kibar, Sibel; Evcik, Deniz; Ketenci, Ayşegül; Sindel, Dilşad; Tur, Birkan Sonel; Ünlü, Zeliha; Tıkız, Canan; Keskin, Dilek; Alp, Alev; Ay, Saime; Yanık, Burcu; Geler Külcü, Duygu; Karakaş, Merve; Ural Nazlıkul, Fatma Gülçin; Kurt Oktay, Kübra Neslihan; Kasapoğlu Aksoy, Meliha; Fındıkoğlu, Gülin; Eser, Filiz; Atıcı, Arzu; Yurdakul, Ozan Volkan; Aybala Koçak, Fatmanur; Kurt, Emine Eda; Özkan, Yasemin; Koldaş Doğan, Şebnem; Erdem Sultanoğlu, Tuba; Ordahan, Banu; Karaca Umay, Ebru; Demirhan, Esma; Çağlar Yağcı, Hanife; Balbaloğlu, Özlem; Tezel, Nihal; Satış, Serap; Atar, Sevgi; Akaltun, Mazlum Serdar; YURDAKUL, OZAN VOLKANObjectives: This study aimed to investigate the physical and emotional effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients. Patients and methods: The cross-sectional controlled study was performed with 1,360 participants (332 males, 1,028 females; mean age: 42.3±12.5 years; range, 18 to 65 years) between September 2020 and February 2021. The participants were evaluated in three groups: the FMS group (n=465), the CLBP group (n=455), and the healthy control group (n=440). Physical activity, pain levels, and general health status before and during the pandemic were evaluated in all participants. Stress levels were analyzed with the perceived stress scale (PSS) in all groups, and disease activity was analyzed with the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) in patients with FMS. Results: Patients with FMS had worsened general health status and pain levels during the pandemic compared to the other groups (p< 0.01). The FMS group showed significantly higher PSS scores than those in other groups (p< 01). There was a weak-positive correlation between FIQ and PSS parameters in patients with FMS (p< 0.05, r=0.385). Conclusion: The general health status, pain, and stress levels of the patients with FMS and CLBP tended to worsen during the pandemic. This high-stress level appeared to affect disease activity in patients with FMS.Publication Metadata only Comparison of ultrasound and extracorporeal shock wave therapy in lateral epicondylosis(2018-09-01T00:00:00Z) Yalvaç, Bestami; Mescı, Nilgün; Geler Külcü, Duygu; Yurdakul, Ozan Volkan; YURDAKUL, OZAN VOLKANPublication Open Access A safer way of dry needling therapy for gastrocnemius muscles: ultrasound guidance.(2020-11-18T00:00:00Z) Bagcier, F; Yurdakul, Ozan Volkan; YURDAKUL, OZAN VOLKAN
