Abstract

Introduction: The aged bone marrow has a reduced proliferation ability in response to acute clinical status such as intensive care hospitalization. The presence of malnutrition, multiple chronic diseases, and comorbid conditions and the use of multiple pharmacological agents have an impact on the results of hematological tests. In this study, we aimed to determine the possible associations between complete blood counts and the prognosis and mortality of patients admitted to intensive care units.Materials and Method: We retrospectively examined data of patients admitted to the intensive care unit between January 2014 and January 2016. We extracted complete blood count results and compared them based on age and mortality groups.Results: We analyzed the data of 810 patients (548 geriatric and 262 non-geriatric patients). The overall mortality rate was 31.97%; this was higher in geriatric than in non-geriatric patients (p=0.01). We found the mean white blood cell counts in non-geriatric patients and the mean hemoglobin and hematocrit values and platelet counts in geriatric patients to be significantly lower than those in their counterparts (p=0.05, p=0.01, p=0.02, and p=0.05, respectively). While the mean hemoglobin and hematocrit values significantly lower in mortality group in both age populations, the mean platelet decrease was observed as a significant factor only in geriatric patients in terms of mortality (p=0.01, p=0.04 and p=0.01 respectively).Conclusion: Close monitoring of hematological parameters, especially platelet counts in geriatric patients, and providing the necessary treatment will aid in a positive prognosis for patients in intensive care units.

Özet

Giriş: Yaşlı kemik iliği, yoğun bakım hastanesi yatışı gibi akut klinik durumlara yanıt olarak azalmış bir proliferasyon kabiliyetine sahiptir. Malnütrisyon, çoklu kronik hastalıklar, komorbid durumlar ve çoklu farmakolojik ajanların kullanımı hematolojik testlerin sonuçları üzerinde etkilidir. Bu çalışmada, yoğun bakım ünitelerinde yatan hastaların tam kan sayımı ile prognoz ve mortalitesi arasındaki olası ilişkilerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2014-Ocak 2016 tarihleri arasında yoğun bakım ünitesine başvuran hastaların verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Tam kan sayımı sonuçları yaş ve mortalite gruplarına göre karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: 810 hastanın (548 geriatri yaş grubunda olan ve 262 geriatri yaş grubunda olmayan hasta) verilerini analiz ettik. Genel mortalite oranı %31.97 olup geriatrik olgularda geriatrik olmayanlara göre daha yüksekti (p=0.01). Geriatri yaş grubunda olmayan hastalarda ortalama beyaz kan hücresi sayımı, geriatri yaş grubunda olan hastalarda ise ortalama hemoglobin, hematokrit değerleri ve trombosit sayıları anlamlı olarak düşüktü (p=0,05, p=0,01, p=0,02 sırasıyla). Ortalama hemoglobin ve hematokrit değerleri, hem geriatri yaş grubunda olan ve olmayan hastalarda mortalite grubunda anlamlı derece düşükken ortalama trombosit sayısı sadece geriatri yaş grubunda olan hastalarda mortalite açısından belirleyici bulundu (p=0.01, p=0.04 ve p=0.01 sırasıyla). Sonuç: Hematolojik parametrelerin, özellikle trombosit sayısının yakından izlenmesi ve gerekli tedavinin sağlanması yoğun bakım ünitelerinde yatan geriatri yaş grubunda olan hastalarda iyi prognoz sağlanmasına yardımcı olacaktır.
