Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic on the orthopedic outpatient clinic, including an investigation of the number, changes in complaints, and demographics of patients. Materials and Methods: Data of patients who visited the orthopedic outpatient clinic at our hospital within four periods were evaluated. Period 1 was between March and May 2019, period 2 was between June and August 2019, period 3 was between March and May 2020, and period 4 was between June and August 2020. Data of patients were recorded for each period including age, gender, number, and International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision codes for comparative analysis. Results: This study included 7,120 patients who were admitted to the orthopedic outpatient clinic within the four periods. The lowest number of patients (1,119) who visited the outpatient clinic was observed in the three months following the pandemic declaration (period 3), in March 2020, whereas the highest number (2,149) was observed in the three months following the lifting of restrictions, in June 2020 (period 4). No significant difference was observed in the age between the four periods (p=0.945). However, a difference was found between the periods for patients aged ≥65 years. Reasons for admission were also different between the periods. In period 3, admissions due to traumatic reasons were statistically higher compared with the other three periods (p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 pandemisinin ortopedi polikliniği üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmek, hasta sayısı, hastaların şikayetlerindeki değişiklikler ve demografik özellikleri araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastanemizde ortopedi polikliniğine başvuran hastaların verileri dört dönem için değerlendirildi. Dönem 1 Mart ve Mayıs 2019 arasında; dönem 2 Haziran ve Ağustos 2019 arasında; dönem 3 Mart ve Mayıs 2020 arasında; ve dönem 4 Haziran ve Ağustos 2020 arasındaydı. Karşılaştırmalı analiz için her dönemde başvuran hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, sayı ve Uluslararası Hastalık Sınıflandırması 10. Revizyon kodları verileri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Dört dönem içinde ortopedi polikliniğine başvuran toplam 7.120 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. En düşük poliklinik başvuru sayısı (1.119), Mart 2020’de pandeminin ilanını takip eden üç ayda (dönem 3) görülürken, en yüksek sayı (2.149), Haziran 2020’de sınırlandırmaların kaldırılmasını takip eden üç ayda görüldü (dönem 4). Dört dönem arasında hasta yaşları açısından anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi (p=0,945). Bununla birlikte, 65 yaş ve üzeri hastalar için dönemler arasında fark vardı. Polikliniğe başvuru nedenleri de dönemler arasında farklıydı. 3. dönemde travmatik nedenlerle başvurular diğer üç döneme göre istatistiksel olarak daha yüksekti (p
