Introduction: Pain intensity represents an important but understudied aspect of sinonasal mucormycosis surgery. Understanding the relationship between pain intensity and mortality is crucial for optimizing pain management strategies and improving patient outcomes.Material and Methods: Data collection was conducted by reviewing electronic medical records and surgical databases to extract relevant information on patient demographics, clinical characteristics, surgical procedures, pain intensity scores, and mortality outcomes. Pain intensity scores were assessed using validated pain assessment tools such as the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) or Visual Analog Scale (VAS).Results: The results of the multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that pain intensity was significantly associated with mortality (HR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.45 - 2.28, p < 0.001). After adjusting for age, comorbidities, and surgical procedures, each unit increase in pain intensity was associated with a 1.82-fold increase in the hazard of mortalityConclusion: Our study highlights the significant association between pain intensity and mortality following sinonasal mucormycosis surgery. Effective pain management plays a crucial role in optimizing outcomes for patients undergoing surgical treatment for mucormycosis, and efforts to improve pain control should be integrated into perioperative care protocols.

Examining laboratory parameters to determine acute or less severe cases of mucormycosis after contracting covid-19, identifying patients who are at higher risk of mortality, and increasing awareness for proper practice will be useful in improving the clinical situation. So we decided to Investigate Factors Affecting Mortality From mucormycosis After Covid-19 Infection. Methods: This study was a systematic review (Conducted by PRISMA guideline). This study was conducted in Tabriz university of medical sciences in 2022. Results: From examining the results of these studies (15 studies), it was found that mortality was higher in patients hospitalized in ICU and general wards, and a significant difference was observed between the average age of recovered and deceased patients. Having high blood pressure as well as diabetes mellitus also significantly led to an increase in mortality. Conclusion: Hospitalization in the intensive care unit, advanced age, high severity of covid-19, high blood sugar and underlying diseases significantly increase the risk of death due to mucormycosis following covid-19.
