Abstract

Geriatric patients form a special group among dermatologic patients because of having dermatologic and systemic diseases more frequently. The prolonged ultraviolet exposure and the increased incidence of xerosis, immunosuppression, circulatory disorders and systemic diseases seen in these patients cause a variability in the incidence and the features of dermatoses. The aim of this study is to determine the clinical spectrum of skin disorders seen in geriatric patients who were hospitalized in our clinic from 1995 to 2000. 426 patients (226 males and 200 females, age ranged from 65-95 years) were included in the study. The control group were composed of 100 patients who were younger than 65. The incidence of skin lesions were determined and results were compared with the control group statistically by using chi-square test. Infectious diseases (%51), precancerous and cancerous lesions (%46), and benign neoplasia (%39) were the most frequently seen skin lesions. The incidence of skin lesions in younger (65 to 74 years of age) and older (equal or over 75 years of age) geriatric groups were compared statistically by using chi-square test again and only precancerous and cancerous lesions were found more frequently in older geriatric group (p

Özet

Geriatrik hastalar, dermatoloji hastaları içinde hem deri hastalıklarının hem de sistemik hastalıkların daha sık görülebilmesi nedeniyle özel bir hasta grubudur. Geriatrik hastalarda özellikle ultraviolenin deri üzerindeki uzun süreli hasarı, kserozis, immunsupresyon, dolaşım bozuklukları ve sistemik hastalık insidansının artışı nedeniyle dermatozların görülme sıklıkları ve nitelikleri değişmektedir. Çalışmamızda 1995-2000 yılları arasında kliniğimizde yatırılarak izlenen geriatrik hastalarda görülen deri hastalıklarının klinik spektrumunun belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmaya 426 hasta (226'sı erkek ve 200'ü kadın, yaşları 65-98 arasında değişen) dahil edildi. Saptanan deri hastalıklarının sıklıkları belirlendi ve sonuçlar 100 kişilik geriatrik olmayan kontrol grubundaki deri hastalıklarının sıklıkları ile ki-kare testi kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. İnfeksiyöz dermatozlar (%51), prekanseröz ve kanseröz lezyonlar (%46), ve benign neoplaziler (%39) geriatrik hastalarda en sık saptanan deri hastalıklarıydı. Dermatolojik hastalıkların sıklıkları erken (65-74 yaş) ve ileri (75 yaş ve üzeri) geriartrik yaş grupları arasında istatistiksel olarak ki-kare testi kullanılarak değerlendirildiğinde sadece prekanseröz ve kanseröz lezyonların 75 yaş ve üzeri grupta anlamlı (p
