Amaç: Bu çalışmada; göğüs hastalıkları servisinde yatmış olan 65 yaş ve üstü hastaların bireysel özelliklerini ve yaşlı bireylerin göğüs hastalıkları servislerine yatışlarını değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 1 Ocak 2017-31 Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında Antalya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Göğüs Hastalıkları servisinde yatmış olan 587 hasta dahil edildi. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ)’ne göre 65 yaş ve üstü kişiler yaşlı olarak kabul edildi. Bu hastaların demografik verileri, yatış nedenleri, yatış gün sayısı, posterior anterior akciğer grafileri ve taburculuk durumları veri formuna kayıt edildi. Çalışmaya 65 yaş ve üstünde olan tüm hastalar dahil edilirken, 65 yaş altındaki kişiler çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Çalışma döneminde birden çok hastane yatışı olanların ilk yatışları dikkate alındı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya ortalama yaşı 76,5±7,4 yıl olan 587 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların göğüs hastalıkları servisine ortanca yatış süreleri 7 (1-88) gün olarak tespit edildi. Hastaların yatış nedenlerine bakıldığında sıklık sırasına göre; kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı (KOAH) alevlenme (n=181; %30,8), pnömoni (n=166; %28,3), non-spesifik alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu (n=78; %13,3) ve astım atak (n=63; %10,7) olarak saptandı. Ek hastalığı olan 419 (%71,4) hasta olup, en sık tespit edilen ek hastalıklar kardiyovasküler (n=267; %63,7), endokrinolojik (n=114; %27,2) ve nörolojik (n=91; %21,7) hastalıklar idi. Takip edilen hastaların mortalite oranı %4,4 (n=26) olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, 65 yaş ve üzeri geriatrik hastalıklarda göğüs hastalıkları servislerine en sık yatırılma nedenleri KOAH alevlenme ve pnömonidir. En sık eşlik eden komorbid durumlar ise kardiyovasküler hastalıklardır.
Purpose: This study is aimed at assessing the individual characteristics of patients aged 65 and older who are in the breast disease service and the positions of elderly individuals in the breast disease service. Tools and Methods: The study included 587 patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Breast Diseases of the Antalya Education and Research Hospital between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), people aged 65 years and older have been recognized as older. The demographic data of these patients, the causes of departure, the number of departure days, posterior anterior lungs graphs and departure cases were recorded in the data form. All patients aged 65 and above were included in the study, while people under 65 were dismissed. During the study period, the first hospitals were taken into consideration. Results: 587 patients with an average age of 76,5±7,4 years were included in the study. The patient's average sleep period was identified for breast disease service for 7 (1-88) days. According to the patient’s residence causes, chronic obstructive lung disease (KOAH) was identified as inflammation (n=181; 30.8 %), pneumonia (n=166; 28.3 %), non-specific sub- respiratory infection (n=78; 13.3 %) and asthma attack (n=63; 10.7 %). There were 419 (71.4 percent) patients with an additional disease, and the frequently identified additional diseases were cardiovascular (n=267; 63.7 percent), endocrinological (n=114; 27.2 percent) and neurological (n=91; 21.7 percent). The mortality rate of followed patients was 4.4 percent (n = 26). Result: As a result, breast diseases in geriatric diseases aged 65 and over are the causes of infection of KOAH inflammation and pneumonia. The most frequently accompanied complicated conditions are cardiovascular diseases.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the individual characteristics of the patients aged 65 and over who were hospitalized in the department of respiratory diseases. Material and Methods: The study included elderly patients who were hospitalized in the Respiratory Diseases Department at Antalya Training and Research Hospital between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2017. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), people aged 65 and over were considered as older. The demographic data, reasons of hospitalization, number of days of hospitalization, posterior anterior chest radiographs and discharge status were recorded in the data form. All patients aged 65 years and over were included in the study, while those under 65 years of age were excluded from the study. In the study period, the first hospitalizations of the patients who were readmission more than one were taken into consideration. Results: A total of 587 patients with mean age of 76.5±7.4 years were enrolled in the study. Median hospital stay duration of patients was 7 (1-88) days. Reasons for hospitalization by frequency order were; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation (n=18; 30.8%), pneumonia (n=166; 28.3%), non-specific lower respiratory tract infection (n=78; 13.3%) and asthma attack (n=63; 10.7%). There were 419 (71.4%) patients with comorbid diseases, and the most common detected diseases were including cardiovascular (n=267; 63.7%), endocrinological (n=114; 27.2%) and neurological (n=91; 21.7%) diseases. The mortality rate of the patients was 4.4% (n=26). Conclusion: As a result, COPD exacerbation and pneumonia are the most common causes of pulmonary diseases in geriatric patients older than 65 years. The most common comorbid conditions are cardiovascular diseases.
