Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate presentation and resourceutilization at the emergency department by patients >=65 years of age and the associated trendsover the years.Materials and Method: This is a descriptive and retrospective study. Data related to patients >=65 years of age who presented to emergency department of an urban university hospitalbetween January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015 were gathered from the hospital informationmanagement system. The data were analyzed using SPSS v17.0 software.Results: A total of 29,298 (20.3%) of emergency department visits were made by patients>=65 years of age. The composition of this group of patients was predominantly female and within the 65-74-year-old age group. A 25% increase in the number of emergency department visits by geriatric patients was observed between 2011 and 2015. Among the geriatric presentations, 76.5% had urgent conditions and 9.3% were admitted to the hospital. Most of the non-urgent patients were females of 65-74 years of age (p0.05). Patientsof 75-84 years of age had the highest total costs as a group, whereas patients >=85 years of agehad the highest per-patient costs.Conclusion: Resource utilization, length of emergency department stay, and hospital costsincreased with geriatric patients' age. Analysis of the frequency of ED use and of resource utilization by geriatric patients would allow patient-centered and cost-effective planning for emergency department care.

Özet

Giriş: Çalışmanın amacı; acil servise başvuran >=65 yaş hastaların acil servis başvurularını, kaynak kullanımlarını ve yıllar içerisindeki eğilimlerini değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve retrospektif bir çalışmadır. Bir üniversite hastanesinin acil servisine başvuran >=65 yaş geriatrik hastaların verileri, 1 Ocak 2011-31 Aralık 2015 tarihleri arasında, hastane bilgi yönetim sisteminden elde edildi. Veriler SPSS 17.0 ortamına yüklenerek değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Acil servs başvurularının 29.298'i (%20.3) >=65 yaş hastalar oluşturdu. 65-74 yaşhastalar ve kadın hastalar bu grupta dominanttı. 2011-2015 arasındaki geriatrik hasta başvurusunda %25'lik artış saptandı. Hastaların %76.5'i 'acele' hastaydı ve %9.3'ü hastaneye yatırıldı.Acil olmayan hastaların çoğu 65-74 yaş ile kadın hastalardı (p0.05).75-84 yaş hastalar hizmet maliyeti en fazla, >85 yaş hastalar kişi başı hizmet tutarı en fazla olangruptu.Sonuç: Geriatrik yaş grubu yükseldikçe acil servis kaynak kullanımlarının, acil serviste kalış sürelerinin ve hizmet maliyetlerinin arttığı saptanmıştır. Geriatrik hastalar tarafından acil servisin kullanımının sıklığı ve kaynak kullanımı analizi, acil servis bakımı için hasta yararı odaklı ve maliyet etkin planlar yapılmasını sağlayacaktır.
