Goal: As a result of the civil war and chaos in the Middle East for six years, our country has hosted many immigrants. Housing and nutrition problems, the limited possibilities of medical care, the deprivation of protective health services have more affected children, especially those who are dependent on parents. In our study we wanted to reveal the characteristics of immigrant children who were treated in the Child Intensive Care Unit (CYBU). Tools and Methods: From 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016, the data of patients between the ages of 1 month and 18 years, who were traced in the hospital’s child-intense care unit, was recalled back from the hospital records. The data in the file was studied in terms of age, gender, sexuality, the cause of infestation, infestation periods, the latest cases of patients and mortality rates. Results: Between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016 1026 patients who were treated in our hospital in the child-intense care unit were taken to work. Of these patients, 69 (6.7%) were immigrant patients. In CYBU, the rate of income was generally determined at 0.44%, while this rate was determined at 1.32% in immigrant patients. When all patients were studied the causes of sleep, the respiratory system, neurological diseases, infectious diseases and toxicity were seen, the immigrant patients were ranked first, respectively, respiratory diseases, neurological diseases, trauma and infectious diseases. Our study found that in migratory patients, the need for mechanical ventilation was 54% (n:37), the need for dialysis was 4.3% (n:3) and the opening rate of tracheostomy was 12% (n:8). The mortality rate was 5.8% in all patients, while 14.5% in immigrant patients. The percentage of mortality risk was calculated using the PRISM and PELOD scores. The serious risk group in immigrant patients was higher than in all patients. Result: Higher intensive care rates and higher mortality in migrants indicate that they are facing serious health problems. Strengthening protective health services, social support programs, the reduction of preventable accidents, will contribute positively to the lives of refugee children, and will reduce the rate of intensive care deposits.
