Abstract

Aim: Although some of the patients admitted to the emergency room (ER) have a clinical indication for hospitalization, they may not have a confident diagnosis of which branch they will be admitted to. Therefore, this research intended to present the undiagnosed patients' features whom emergency medicine specialists (EMS) hospitalized. Material and Methods: This research is a retrospective, crosssectional and descriptive study. Patients admitted to Sakarya Training and Research Hospital's ER and hospitalized by EMS on behalf of a branch were included in the study. Data obtained from the study were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics 21. Results: The mean age of 57 patients was 70 (min: 56 - max: 80), and 30 (52.6%) of the cases were men. In the departmentbased evaluation of the consultations, it was ascertained that an average of 2.49 (SD=1.17) branch consultations was requested for each patient, and the average number of consultations per case was 4.16 (SD=2.09). As the number of consultations raised, the time between the emergency service application and the hospitalization decision increased statistically significantly (p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, AS sorumlu uzman tabiplerince değerlendirilen ve tıbbi durumunun gerektirdiği en uygun uzmanlık dalına ait kliniğe yatışı yapılan hastaların değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma 01.01.2019 - 30.04.2021 dönemini kapsayan retrospektif, kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı nitelikte bir çalışmadır. Çalışma örneklemi, Sakarya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi (SEAH) AS'ne başvuran ve AS sorumlu uzman tabiplerince yatırılan vakalardır. Tanılar International Classification of Diseases10 (ICD-10) tanı kodlama sistemi kullanılarak kategorize edildi. Hastalara ilişkin veriler hastane otomasyon sisteminden elde edilerek kayıt altına alınmıştır. Bulgular: Yatış kararı verilen 57 hastanın ortalama yaşları 70,00 (min: 56 - max: 80) olup, hastaların 30 (%52,6)’u erkek idi. Konsültasyonların bölüm bazlı değerlendirmesinde her hasta için ortalama 2,49 (SD=1,17) konsültasyon istendiği ve hasta başına yapılan ortalama konsültasyon sayısının ise 4,16 (SD=2,09) olduğu tespit edildi. Konsültasyon istem sayısı arttıkça başvuru ile yatış kararı verilmesi arasında geçen sürenin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede arttığı saptandı (p
