Abstract

Introduction: With aging, the anatomy and physiology of the body undergo changes. Thisleads to a change in the body's capabilities in response to trauma, resulting in increased traumainduced morbidity and mortality.We aimed to investigate the factors influencing the prognosis and mortality of geriatric patients with head trauma.Materials and Method: A total of 1060 patients aged 65 and above who presented withhead trauma within a three-year period were studied. The patients' collected data included gender, age, trauma presentation, Glasgow Coma Scale, Revised Trauma Score, cranial physical examination findings, localisation of the fracture in the cranial regions, cranial pathology, additionalorgan injury and survival/death status.Results: Of the 1060 geriatric patients enrolled in the study, 500 (47%) were male and 560(53%) were female. Of these patients, 1005 (94.8%) survived and 55 (5.20%) died. Among thedeceased patients, 37 (37.3%) were male and 18 (32.7%) were female. The most common presentation was observed in the young old group (aged 65-75) with 513 patients. According tothe causes of trauma, the most common cause was due to falling. The male gender was foundto be at risk of mortality in all patients aged 65 and above. According to the computed tomography findings; intracranial haemorrhage, contusion, subarachnoid haemorrhage, epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma and intracranial edema were factors associated with increased mortality.Conclusion: Males and cranial pathologies are associated with a higher mortality in geriatric patients with head trauma

Özet

Girifl:Yaşlılıkla birlikte vücut anatomisinde ve fizyolojisinde değişiklikler olur. Buna bağlı trav-maya karşı cevap yetenekleri değişmekte buda travmaya bağlı morbidite ve mortaliteyi arttırmak-tadır.Geriatrik yaş grubundaki kafa travmalı hastalarda prognoza ve mortaliteye etki eden faktör-leri tespit etmeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem:Üç yıllık sürede kafa travması sebebiyle başvurmuş olan 65 yaş ve üstü1060 hasta incelendi. Hasta verileri cinsiyet, yaş, travmanın oluş şekli, Glasgow Koma Skalası, Re-vize Travma Skoru, kraniyal fizik muayene bulguları, kafa kemiklerindeki kırık lokalizasyonu, kra-niyal patoloji, ek organ yaralanması, yaşam ve ölüm durumu idi.Bulgular:Çalışmaya alınan 1060 geriatrik kafa travmalı hastanın 500'ü (%47) erkek, 560'>(%53) bayandı. Hastaların 1005'i (%94.8) yaşadı. Hastaların 55'i (%5.20) öldü. Ölen hastaların37'si (%67.3) erkek, 18'i (%32.7) kadındı. En çok başvuru toplamda 513 hasta ile 65-75 yaş ola-rak tanımlanan erken yaşlılık grubundaydı. Travma oluş sebeplerine göre en sık basit düşme var-dı.65 yaş ve üzeri tüm hasta gruplarında erkek cinsiyette olmanın mortalite için bir risk faktörü ol-duğu görüldü. Bilgisayarl> tomografi görüntülerine göre intrakraniyal kanama, kontüzyon, suba-raknoid hemoraji, epidural hematom, subdural hematom ve intrakraniyal ödem mortaliteyi arttı-ran bulgulardı.Sonuç:Geriatrik kafa travmarında erkek cinsiyet ve kraniyak patolojiler yüksek mortalite ileilişkilidir.
