Abstract

Analysis of the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients followed-up with the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding at the Department of Emergency Internal Medicine of GATA between 1998 to 2005 Upper gastrointestinal system bleeding is a commonly encountered medical emergency with significant morbidity and mortality. In this study we aimed to retrospectively analyze the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients we followed-up with the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal system bleeding between 1998 to 2005. Of approximately 7000 cases admitting to the Department of Emergency of GATA during the study period, 898 cases diagnosed to have upper gastrointestinal system bleeding were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was was 52.5±21.3 years (16- 103 years). Of all the patients 480 were male (53.5%) and 418 were female (46.5%), and 335 were married (37.3%) and 563 were single (62.7%). Of the cases most (n=350) were military persons' family (39%). When analyzed according to educational status, most of the people (241 cases) graduated from high school (26.8%). When the patients were examined according to endoscopic diagnoses, cases with duodenal ulcer (n=289) were the largest group (32.2%). Number of cases with first bleeding was 636 (70.8%). Mean hospitalization period of the patients was 4.1±6.2 days. Socio-demographic characteristics of the patients play an important role in mortality and morbidity of the patients with upper gastrointestinal system bleeding. Our results are in accordance with the literature findings.

Özet

Üst gastrointestinal sistem kanamaları, anlamlı ölüm oranı ve morbiditeleriyle sık karşılaşılan tıbbi bir acildir. Bu çalışmada üst gastrointestinal sistem kanaması nedeniyle 1998- 2005 yılları arasında takip ettiğimiz hastaların sosyodemografik özelliklerini retrospektif olarak incelemeyi amaçladık. Çalışma süresince GATA acil servisine başvuran yaklaşık 7000 hastadan, üst gastrointestinal sistem kanaması tanısı konmuş 898 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 52.5±21.3 yıl idi (16-103 yıl). Hastaların 480'i erkek (%53.5), 418'i kadındı (%46.5) ve 335 hasta evli (%37.3), 563 hasta bekardı (%62.7). Olgularda en büyük grubu 350 hasta (%39) ile asker aileleri oluşturmaktaydı. Öğrenim durumlarına göre incelendiğinde, lise mezunu olanlar 241 olgu ile (%26.8) en yüksek grubu oluşturmaktaydı. Endoskopik tanılarına göre hastalar incelendiğinde en büyük grubu 289 olgu ile (%32.2) duodenal ülser tanısı konan olgular oluşturmaktaydı. Ilk kez kanama geçiren olguların sayısı 636 (%70.8) olarak saptandı. Hastaların ortalama yatış süresi 4.1±6.2 gün idi. Hastaların sosyodemografik özellikleri üst gastrointestinal sistem kanamalarının ölüm oranı ve morbiditesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bizim sonuçlarımız bu doğrultuda literatürle uyumlu bulunmuştur.
