Abstract

Introduction: With a global rise in the elderly population, the need for palliative careunits (PCU) is also increasing. Moreover, it is important to determine the prognosis in thesepatients. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between mortality andthe biomarkers at admission to PCU, in the geriatric patients with no diagnosis of malignancy.Materials and Method: Medical records of the patients hospitalised in the Isparta CityHospital PCU, between 01.03.2017 and 31.03.2018, were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender,neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts, mean platelet volume and the C-reactive proteinand albumin values, at admission to the PCU, were evaluated.Results: The median age of the patients was 81 years (interquartile range: 73–87 years),and 58.5% (n=76) of the patients were female. The mortality rate of the patients was 21.5%(n=28). An albumin value

Özet

Giriş: Yaşlı popülasyonda küresel bir artışla birlikte, palyatif bakım üniteleri (PBÜ) ihtiyacı da artmaktadır. Ayrıca, bu hastalarda prognozun belirlenmesi önemlidir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada malignite tanısı olmayan geriatrik hastalarda PBÜ’ye giriş sırasındaki biyobelirteçler ile mortalite arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 01.03.2017 ve 31.03.2018 tarihleri arasında Isparta Şehir Hastanesi PBÜ’de yatan hastaların tıbbi kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Üniteye giriş sırasındaki yaş, cinsiyet, nötrofil, lenfosit ve trombosit sayısı, ortalama trombosit hacmi ve C-reaktif protein ve albümin değerleri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların ortanca yaşı 81 (çeyrekler arası aralık: 73-87) idi ve hastaların % 58.5’i (n=76) kadındı. Hastaların mortalite oranı % 21.5 (n=28) idi.
