Abstract

Introduction: The number of geriatric patients undergoing emergency surgery isincreasing worldwide. The objective of our study was to retrospectively review the intensivecare unit (ICU) admission rates, mortality rates and the mortality risk factors in geriatric patientsundergoing emergency abdominal surgery.Materials and Method: The data of patients who underwent emergency abdominalsurgery between January 2014 and August 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patientswere classified into Group-I (≥75 years) and Group-II (65–74 years). American Society ofAnesthesiologists (ASA) physical status, haemoglobin values, whether preoperative cardiacexaminations were conducted, ICU admission and mortality rates were recorded. The twogroups were compared in terms of ICU admission rates, ICU and in-hospital mortality rates andthe factors affecting these parameters.Results: A total of 109 patients were included in the study with 71 (65.1%) being inGroup-I and 38 (34.9%) in Group-II. ICU admission rate and in-hospital mortality rates werehigher in Group-I than those in Group-II. High ASA score in Group I and high ASA score and lowhaemoglobin value in Group-II affected ICU admission rate. It was observed that the absenceof preoperative cardiac examination increased ICU mortality in Group-I. High ASA scores inboth the groups increased in-hospital mortality. In addition, postoperative ICU admission rateincreased in-hospital mortality in Group-II.Conclusion: ASA score was found to be the most important factor affecting mortality ratesin geriatric patients after emergency surgery. It was concluded that ICU mortality rates can bedecreased by utilising necessary treatment protocols by performing preoperative cardiologicexaminations geriatric patients aged >75 years.

Özet

Giriş: Günümüzde acil cerrahi geçiren yaşlı hasta sayısı artmaktadır. Çalışmamızın amacı acil abdominal cerrahi geçiren geriatrik hastaların yoğun bakıma yatış oranlarının, mortalite oranlarının ve mortalite risk faktörlerinin retrospektif olarak incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2014-Ağustos 2018 tarihleri arasında acil abdominal cerrahi geçiren hastaların bilgileri retrospektif olarak tarandı. Hastalar yaş gruplarına göre Grup-I (75 yaş ve üstü), Grup-II (65-74 yaş) olarak ayrıldı. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) fiziksel durum skorları, hemoglobin değerleri, preoperatif kardiyak muayene yapılıp yapılmadığı, yoğun bakım ünitesine giriş durumları, mortalite değerleri kaydedildi. İki grup yoğun bakım yatışları, yoğun bakım ve hastane içi mortalite değerleri ve bu durumları etkileyen faktörler açısından karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya Grup-I’de 71 (%65,1) ve Grup-II’de 38 (%34,9) üzere toplam 109 hasta dahil edildi. Grup-I’de yoğun bakıma yatış ve hastane içi mortalite değerleri daha yüksekti. Grup- I’de yüksek ASA skoru, Grup-II’de ise ASA skoru ve hemoglobin düşüklüğü yoğun bakıma yatışta etkiliydi. Grup-I’de preoperatif kardiyak muayene yapılmamasının yoğun bakım mortalitesini arttırdığı görüldü. Her iki grupta yüksek ASA skorunun hastane içi mortaliteyi artırdığı, ayrıca Grup-II’de postoperatif yoğun bakıma çıkışın da hastane içi mortaliteye etkisi olduğu bulundu. Sonuç: Yaşlı hastalarda acil cerrahi sonrası yoğun bakım yatışı ve mortaliteyi etkileyen en önemli faktör ASA skoru olarak bulundu. Yetmiş beş yaş üstü hastalarda preoperatif kardiyolojik muayene yapılarak gerekli tedavi protokollerinin uygulanmasının yoğun bakım mortalite değerini azaltabileceği sonucuna varıldı.
