Comparisonof patients according to their outcome of treatment in the emergency department (discharge oradmission) showed a significantly higher mean Revised Trauma Score and significantly lower meanInjury Severity Score in the of discharged patients subgroup.Conclusion: Our results suggest that anatomic scoring systems (Injury Severity Score) aremore accurate than physiological scoring systems (Revised Trauma Score, Glasgow Coma Score)in predicting the duration of hospitalization in patients with trauma due to falling.

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of our study is to review demographic characteristics, management inconcordance with trauma scoring systems, and the significance of trauma scoring systems in predicting the duration of hospital stay in geriatric patients who are admitted to the emergencydepartment because of falling.Materials and Method: This retrospective study reviewed the records of 1086 patients whowere admitted to our emergency department because of falling, between February 1, 2011 andJanuary 31, 2012. Age, gender, date and time of the admission, type of fall, diagnosis related tofall, requisition for radiological tests, requisition for consultations, and end treatment status wererecorded for each patient. Glasgow Coma Score, Revised Trauma Score and Injury Severity Scorewere calculated.Results: Fourteen point five percent of all patients were geriatric patients. The number of hospitalized patients was 248 (22.8%) and the hospitalization period was 6.9±4.6 days. Comparisonof patients according to their outcome of treatment in the emergency department (discharge oradmission) showed a significantly higher mean Revised Trauma Score and significantly lower meanInjury Severity Score in the of discharged patients subgroup.Conclusion: Our results suggest that anatomic scoring systems (Injury Severity Score) aremore accurate than physiological scoring systems (Revised Trauma Score, Glasgow Coma Score)in predicting the duration of hospitalization in patients with trauma due to falling. But these resultsmay require to support by further prospective studies

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmada, acil servise düşme nedeniyle başvuran geriatrik yaş grubundaki hastaların demografik özelliklerinin, travma skorlama sistemleri eşliğinde yönetiminin ve hastaneye yatırılan hastalarda travma skorlama sistemlerinin hastanede kalış sürelerini tahmin etmedeki yeriningözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Geriye dönük olarak planlanan bu çalışmaya acil servise 1 Şubat 2011 ile31 Ocak 2012 tarihleri arasında düşme şikayetiyle başvuran 1086 hasta alındı. Çalışmaya alınanhastalar için düzenlenen formlarda, yaş, cinsiyet, acil servise geliş şekli, başvuru tarihi ve saati,düşme şekli, düşme sonrası gelişen tanıları, radyolojik tetkik istenip istenmemesi, istenilen konsültasyon(lar), ve hastanın işlemler sonundaki nihai durumu kayıt altına alındı. Glasgow Koma Skoru, Revize Travma Skoru ve Yaralanma Şiddet Skoru hesaplandı. Bulgular: Geriatrik yaş grubundaki hastalar toplam hasta sayısının %14.5'i idi. Hastaların248'i (%22.8) hastaneye yatırılırken yatış süresi 6.9±4.6 gün idi. Hastalar acil serviste sonlandırılmalarına göre (taburculuk ya da yatış) karşılaştırıldığında Revize Travma Skoru anlamlı olarak daha yüksekken, taburcu edilen hastaların Yaralanma Şiddet Skoru anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü.Sonuç: Düşme gibi sıklıkla anatomik bozukluk yaratan hasta gruplarında hastaneye yatış vehastaneye yatırılan hastalarda hastanede kalış süresinin uzunluğunu tahmin etmede anatomikskorlama sistemlerinin (Yaralanma Şiddet Skoru), fizyolojik skorlama sistemlerinden (Revize Travma Skoru, Glasgow Koma Skoru) daha ön planda kullanılması gerektiği kanısındayız. Fakat bu sonuçların prospektif çalışmalarla desteklenmesi gerekebilir
