Abstract

Introduction: Aging of the population leads to an increasing number of older peoplewith a severe disability, in need of long-term care, which is a major public health problem.Herein, we attempted to find out the main pathologies that cause severe disability, includingneuromusculoskeletal disability, in elderly and young adults.Materials and Method: In this descriptive observational study, we retrospectivelyreviewed the medical records of 20,790 subjects admitted to the Health Council of the İzmirAtatürk Training and Research Hospital over the last two years. Subjects identified as severelydisabled and >18 years old were in§cluded. Age- (19–64 or 65+ years) and gender-specificcauses of severe disability were identified.Results: Overall, 1,117 (631 female, 486 male) subjects were severely disabled. Mean agewas 65.9±18.1 years; 60% were >65 years old. Main pathologies leading to severe disabilitywere nervous system (61%), eye (11%), mental and behavioral (9.3%), musculoskeletal (8.4%),neoplasms (2.8%), respiratory (2.7%) and other diseases. Distribution of the pathologies werestatistically different between age subgroups (p0.05). Dementia and stroke were the most frequent neurological conditions. Kneeosteoarthritis was the leading musculoskeletal cause of severe disability.Conclusion: This study may provide a baseline indication of pathologies commonlycausing severe disability. Most severely disabled subjects were female and of older age.Neurological diseases were the most frequent causes of severe disability. Preventive andrehabilitative health service planning should be undertaken to decrease the disability causedby these conditions.

Özet

Giriş: Nüfusun yaşlanması, artan sayıda, ağır yeti yitimi olan, uzun süreli bakım gerektiren ileri yaştaki populasyona neden olur ve büyük bir halk sağlığı problemidir. Bu çalışmada yaşlı ve genç erişkin popülasyonda ağır yeti yitimine neden olan genel ve nöromusküler ana patolojileri belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu tanımlayıcı gözlemsel çalışmada son iki yılda İzmir Atatürk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi sağlık kuruluna başvuran 20,790 hastanın tıbbi kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Ağır yeti yitimi olarak tanımlanan 18 yaş üzeri vakalar çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Yaş (19-64 yaş ve 65 yaş ve üzeri) ve cins spesifik ağır yeti yitimi sebepleri belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: Toplamda 1,117 (631 kadın, 486 erkek) ağır yeti yitimi olan hasta saptanmıştır. Ortalama yaş 65.9±18.1 yıl idi. Vakaların %60’ı 65 yaş ve üzeri idi. Ağır yeti yitimine sebep olan ana patolojiler sinir sistemi (%61), göz (%11), ruhsal ve davranışsal (%9.3), kas iskelet (%8.4), neoplazmlar(%2.8), solunum (%2.7) ve diğer daha seyrek görülen hastalıklar idi. Patolojilerin dağılımı yaş grupları arasında farklılık gösterirken(p
