Abstract

Introduction: Pruritus, a common symptom in the elderly, is usually a chronic condition lasting for more than 6 weeks. Chronic pruritus in the elderly may be caused by systemic diseases, including renal diseases, iron deficiency anemia, parasitoses, hepatobiliary diseases, leukemia, lymphomas, and endocrine disorders. In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the relationship of systemic diseases with chronic pruritus in the elderly. Materials and Method: Descriptive statistics were computed for means, standard deviations, and frequencies. The chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was used for statistical analysis, with a significance threshold of p

Özet

Giriş: Yaşlılarda sık karşılaşılan bir semptom olan kaşıntı, genellikle 6 haftadan uzun süren kronik bir durumdur. Yaşlılarda görülen kronik kaşıntı, böbrek hastalıkları, demir eksikliği anemisi, parazitozlar, hepatobiliyer hastalıklar, lösemi, lenfomalar ve endokrinolojik hastalıkları içeren çok sayıda sistemik hastalıkla ilişkili olabilir. Bu retrospektif çalışmada, yaşlılarda görülen kronik kaşıntı ile sistemik hastalıkların ilişkisini araştırmayı hedefledik. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada ortalama, standart sapma ve frekans değerleri için betimsel analiz yapıldı. İstatistiksel karşılaştırmalarda ki-kare veya Fisher kesin ki-kare test kullanıldı. p
