Abstract

Objective: This study examined the major admission etiologies (according to ICD-10 codes), illicit drug use ratesand hepatitis seroprevalence of patients 50 age and over admitted to a mental hospital in Elazig, Turkey. Methods:The medical records of 2608 outpatients/inpatient aged ≥50 years admitted to a mental hospital in Elazığ betweenJanuary 01 st 2016 and September 30 th 2018 were retrospectively examined. Results: Rates of admission etiologieswere as follows; for the patient group without any psychiatric diagnosis, followed by recommendation without anymedical treatment because of non-specific psychiatric complaints (general examinations, 22.7%), alcohol/sub-stance analyzes (17.6%), bipolar disorders (14.3%), schizophrenia (13.7%) and depression (13.2%).In the 50-59years age group, the most common reason for admission was alcohol/drug screening for probation and forensicevaluation (20.4%). In the 60−69 and >70 years age groups, depression was the most common admission reason(16.7% and 22%, respectively). Cannabinoids were the most frequently detected substance (11.4% of patients),followed by opiates (3.8%), benzodiazepines (3.5%), amphetamines (2.2%) and cocaine (1.8%). Anti-HBs, HBsAgand anti-HCV were detected as positive by 51.2%, 5.4% and 1.3%, respectively. Anti-HCV rate of substance-depended patients was significantly higher than in the entire study population. Discussion: This study showed thatalcohol/substance analysis was more common among people aged 50 years and older than bipolar disorder, schizo-phrenia and depression. It was found that cannabinoids were detected in 11.4% of the drug analyzes in individualsaged 50 years or older and the anti-HCV ratios of patients receiving treatment at the substance addiction centerwere higher than the other patients.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin Elazığ ilinde bulunan bir akıl sağlığı hastanesine kabul edilen 50 yaş ve üzeri hasta- ların ana kabul etiyolojileri (ICD-10 kodlarına göre), yasa dışı uyuşturucu kullanım oranları ve hepatit seroprevalans- ları incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Yöntem: 01.01.2016-30.09.2018 tarihleri arasında Elazığ’daki ruh hastalıkları hasta- nesinde ayaktan başvurarak/yatarak tedavi edilen 50 yaş ve üstündeki 2608 hastanın kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Hasta kabul oranları bu şekildeydi; psikiyatrik tanısı olmadan, özgül olmayan psikiyatrik yakın maları nedeniyle tıbbi tedavi planlanmadan öneri ile izlenen hasta grubu (%22.79), alkol/madde analizleri (%17.6), bipolar bozukluk (%14.3), şizofreni (%13.7) ve depresyon (%13.2). 50-59 yaş grubunda, başvuru için en yaygın neden, denetim ve adli değerlendirme amaçlı alkol/madde taramasıydı (%20.4). 60-69 ve ≥70 yaş gruplarında en sık başvuru nedeni depresyondu (sırasıyla %16.7 ve %22). En sık saptanan uyuşturucu kannabinoidler (hastaların %11.4’ü), ardından sırasıyla afyonlar (%3.8), benzodiyazepinler (%3.5), amfetaminler (%2.2) ve kokain (%1.8) idi. Anti-HBs %51.2, HBsAg %5.4 ve anti-HCV %1.3 oranında pozitif tespit edildi. Madde bağımlılığı merkezinde tedavi alan hastaların anti-HCV oranları diğer hastalardan anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti. Tartışma: Bu çalışma 50 yaş ve üstü insanlar arasında alkol/madde analizleri nedeniyle başvurunun bipolar bozukluk, şizofreni ve depresyondan daha fazla olduğunu, 50 yaş ve üstü bireylerde madde analizi yapılanların %11.4’ünde kannabinoid tespit edildiğini ve madde bağımlılığı merkezinde tedavi alan hastaların anti-HCV oranlarının diğer hastalardan yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir.
