Abstract

Objective: Culture examination is a frequently used diagnostic methodin emergency departments. This study was performed to investigate thefrequency of culture examinations that were sent from the emergencydepartment and also the rate of positive results and the most frequentlyisolated pathogens. Method: This is a retrospective cohort study. We retrospectivelyinvestigated the cultural results of the patients who were admitted to theemergency department between 1st Jan 2016 and 31st March 2017. Thedemographic datum, medical diagnosis, the culture type, and the resultswere recorded from the hospital records. Results: Totally 70,934 culture tests were sent from 45,100 patientsbetween study dates. 1.1% of the cultures were sent from the emergencydepartment. There was colonization at 16.8% of the cultures; this ratio was33.6% in the cultures that were sent from the emergency department.The cultures were more frequently positive in emergency medicine whenwe compared them to those in the whole hospital. The positivity rate washigher in wound and abscess cultures but very low in gaita cultures. Conclusion: The further detailed studies about the cultures sent from theemergency department on the basis of a specific disease and antibioticresistance will be instructive about prophylactic antibiotic use in theemergency department.

Özet

Amaç: Kültür muayenesi, acil servislerde sıklıkla kullanılan bir tanıyöntemidir. Bu çalışma, acil servisten gönderilen kültür incelemelerininsıklığını, ayrıca olumlu sonuçların oranını ve en sık izole edilen patojenleriaraştırmak amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Bu çalışma retrospektif bir kohort çalışmasıdır. 1 Ocak 2016- 31 Mart 2017 tarihleri arasında acil servise başvuran hastaların kültürsonuçlarını geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Hastane kayıtlarındandemografik veriler, tıbbi tanı, kültür tipi ve sonuçlar kayıt altına alındı.Bulgular: Çalışma tarihleri arasında 45.100 hastadan toplam 70.934 kültürtesti gönderildi. Kültürlerin %1,1’i acil servisten gönderildi. Kültürlerin%16,8’inde kolonizasyon vardı. Acil servisten gönderilen kültürlerde buoran %33,6 idi. Acil tıpta kültürler, tüm hastaneyle karşılaştırdığımızdadaha sık pozitifti. Pozitiflik oranı yara ve apse kültürlerinde daha yüksek,gaita kültürlerinde ise çok düşüktü. Sonuç: Acil servisten belirli bir hastalık ve antibiyotik direnci temelindegönderilen kültürlerle ilgili daha detaylı çalışmalar, acil serviste profilaktikantibiyotik kullanımı konusunda yol gösterici olacaktır.
