Introduction: Inherited factor VII (FVII) deficiency (FVIID) is the most common of inherited rare bleeding disorders. Other determinants of clinical severity apart from FVII level (FVIIL) include genetic and environmental factors. We aimed to identify the cut-off FVIILs for general and severe bleedings in patients with FVIID by using an online national registry system including clinical, laboratory, and demographic characteristics of patients. Methods: Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of patients with FVIID extracted from the national database, constituted by the Turkish Society of Hematology, were examined. Bleeding phenotypes, general characteristics, and laboratory features were assessed in terms of FVIILs. Bleeding rates and prophylaxis during special procedures/interventions were also recorded. Results: Data from 197 patients showed that 46.2% of patients had FVIIL< 10%. Most bleeds were of mucosal origin (67.7%), and severe bleeds tended to occur in younger patients (median age: 15 (IQR:6-29)). Cut-off FVIILs for all and severe bleeds were 16.5% and 7.5%, respectively. The major reason for long-term prophylaxis was observed as central nervous system bleeding (80%). Conclusion: Our data are consistent with most of the published literature in terms of cut-off FVIIL for bleeding, as well as reasons for prophylaxis, showing both an increased severity of bleeding and younger age at diagnosis with decreasing FVIIL. However, in order to offer a classification similar to that in Hemophilia A or B, data of a larger cohort with information about environmental and genetic factors are required.

The effects of top management teams’ characteristics on company performance has become very popular with the upper echelon’s theory, created in 1984. This has led to various academic studies on that topic however there is no detailed study conducted in Turkey. In the study, the effects of CEO characteristics on company performance is analyzed by using data of large-scale Turkish firms which are members of the BIST100 index over 2015 and 2019. According to the results obtained from the research, the age of the CEO, the CEO duality, and the CEO’s experience in the current company have no statistically significant effect on the stock performance. CEO’s experience in the current position and past experience working as a CEO have positive impact on the performance of the company. As the important findings in the research, (1) 84% of the companies in BIST100 are appointed insiders to the CEO position, (2) the insider CEOs stay three times more than the outsiders, and (3) there is a positive relation between CEO’s experience working as a CEO and company performance.

In this study, the effects of monetary and fiscal policies on the stock market were examined in Turkey. M3/GDP was used to measure monetary policy and primary budget balance/GDP was used to measure fiscal policy as independent variables. As a dependent variable, the return of the BIST100 index was determined to measure the performance of Borsa Istanbul. In the data set, the period between 20061Q and 20193Q is covered. ADF test is used to test the stationarity of variables. ARDL boundary test and ECM were used to determine the short-term and longterm relationships between variables. Finally, CUSUM and CUSUM x2 tests have been implemented to understand whether structural breaks affect the results of the study. According to the research findings, negative changes in the budget balance and the increase in the M3 money supply have a statistically significant positive effect on the BIST100 return index.
