The aim of this study was to compare active and passive surveillance methods. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 296 patients who were admitted to Shahid Sadoughi hospital in Yazd from 2018 to 2020. Surveillance for signs of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) was done using passive (via pamphlet) and active (by telephone) methods in two months. Among 296 patients, SSI was seen in 67 patients (22.6 %). The frequency of SSI in active and passive methods was 65 (24 %) and 2 patients (8 %), respectively. Significant difference was seen between two care methods (p<0.05). According to these findings, the active care method was superior to passive method in diagnosis of SSI. Therefore, this method can be used for early detection of infection to reduce complications.

COVID-19 infection is still widespread around the world. It has been demonstrated that albumin is a biomarker in COVID-19 diagnosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between blood albumin and clinical status of COVID-19 patients. In our study, patients older than 18 years admitted to a hospital in Yazd with a positive PCR test participated. Related data was analyzed by SPSS software. 34.2 % of the men with lower than normal albumin levels needed to be admitted to the ICU. Also, 32.8 % of the women with lower than normal albumin levels needed to be admitted to the ICU. The results of the present study showed that the patients with lower serum albumin needed to be admitted to the ICU more than other patients.

Covid-19 patients have coagulation complications resulting in poor prognosis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of coagulation disorders in patients with Covid-19 admitted to Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd. This study was a cross-sectional study that all patients admitted with a diagnosis of Covid-19 from the beginning of February 2020 to the end of April 2020 were examined for the frequency of coagulation dysfunctions. A total of 441 patients with Covid-19 were included in the study with a mean age of 55.4 years that 47.8 %, 25.6 % and 6.8 % had impaired Prothrombin Time (PT), Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR), respectively.
