Abstract

ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to determine the clinical factors that contribute the admission, management and outcome of blunt trauma in geriatric patients.MethodsThis prospective, cross sectional study was conducted at a tertiary Emergency Department (ED) between January and April of 2012. Patients were included if they were 65 years and older and had a blunt trauma. The demographic data, comorbid diseases, quantity of medications, mechanism of injury, a history of trauma within the last six months, body region of injury, injury severity score (ISS), in-hospital length of stay (LOS), final outcome of patients were recorded.Results406 geriatric patients (268 (66%) female) were included and mean age of all patients was 75,6±7 (65-102). Extremities and head injury were the most common injury site. The femoral neck was the most common fracture site (24%). Low velocity fall (LVF) was the most common mechanism of blunt trauma (79%). Advancing age was also significantly related with LVF incidence, fracture incidence and ISS ≥9. Five patients were died in hospital (1.2%).ConclusionLVF was the primary etiology of geriatric blunt trauma. The most common injury sites were head and extremities there the femur neck was the most common site of fracture. For fractures, advancing age and polypharmacy (≥ 5 agents) were and for LVF, female gender was independent risk factors Advancing ages and previously stroke history were related to the severity of the trauma.

Özet

AmaçÇalışmamızın amacı acil servisimize künt travma nedeni ile başvuran 65 yaş ve üstü hastaların başvuru, müdahale ve sonlanmasındaki klinik faktörlerin incelenmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem Çalışmamız Ocak - Nisan 2012 tarihleri arasında, 3. basamak acil servisinde yapılan ileriye yönelik, kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmaya 65 yaş ve üstü, künt travma nedeni ile başvuran hastalar kabul edildi. Hastaların demografik verileri, yandaş hastalıkları, kullandığı ilaç sayıları, yaralanma mekanizması, son 6 ay içinde travma öyküsü, yaralanma bölgesi, yaralanma ağırlık skoru (ISS), hastane kalım süreleri, hastane sonlanımları veri toplama formuna kaydedildi.BulgularÇalışmaya 406 hasta kabul edildi (n=268, 66% kadın). Yaş ortalaması 75,6±7 (65-102) idi. En sık yaralanma bölgesi ekstremiteler ve baş idi. Femur kırıkları en sık saptanan kırıklardı (24%). Düşük enerjili düşmeler (DED) en sık (%79) travma mekanizması idi. Yaş artışı ile DED, kırık oluşumu ve ISS ≥9 olma insidansının arttığı belirlendi. Tüm hastaların 5’i öldü (1.2%).SonuçDED, geriatrik künt travmada birincil etyolojiyi oluşturdu. En sık yaralanma bölgesi baş ve ekstremitelerdi ve ekstremitelerde en sık femur kırıkları saptandı. İleri yaş ve 5 ve üstü ilaç kullanımı kırık oluşumu için, kadın cinsiyet DED için bağımsız risk faktörleri olarak saptandı. İleri yaş ve inme öyküsü travma ağırlığı ile ilişkili bulundu.
