COVID-19 ilk olarak Çin'in Vuhan eyaletinde görülen ve yüksek ateş ve nefes darlığı ile tanımlanan yeni viral solunum yolu hastalığı olup, damlacık ve temas yoluyla bulaştığı bilinmektedir. Türkiye’de COVID-19 hastalığının ilk vakası görüldüğünden beri Kulak Burun Boğaz (KBB) branşına ait poliklinikler pandemi ile mücadelede etkin rol almışlardır. Bu çalışmada pandemi öncesinde ve pandemi sürecinde Elazığ Fethi Sekin Şehir Hastanesi’nde KBB polikliniklerine giden hastalar, yaş ve cinsiyete göre karşılaştırılmıştır. Pandemi öncesinde ve pandemi sürecinde KBB polikliniklere giden hasta sayılarında azalış mı veya artış mı olduğu ve pandemi sürecinde hastaların daha çok hangi şikâyetlerle polikliniklere gittikleri incelenmiştir. Retrospektif nitelikte olan bu çalışma, 01.01.2019 ve 31.05.2021 tarihleri arasında, Elazığ Fethi Sekin Şehir Hastanesi KBB polikliniklerine giden 157830 hastayı kapsamaktadır. İstatistiksel hesaplamalar ve analiz için SPSS (ver: 22) paket programı kullanıldı. Üzerinde durulan özellikler için tanımlayıcı istatistikler; ortalama, sayı ve yüzde olarak verilmiştir. Grupların özellikleri bakımından pandemi öncesi ile pandemi sürecini karşılaştırmada eşleştirilmiş t- testi kullanılmıştır. Hesaplamalarda istatistik anlamlılık (önemlilik) düzeyi %5 olarak alınmıştır. Pandemi öncesi aylara bakıldığındaKBB polikliniklerine başvuran kadın hastaların ortalaması 3510,67 iken erkek hastaların ortalaması 3359,40 olup ele alınan bu ayların tümünde daha çok kadın hastaların başvurduğu görülmektedir. Pandemi sürecinde KBB polikliniklerine başvuran erkek hastaların ortalaması 1941,71 iken kadın hastaların ortalaması 1971,07’dir. Pandemi öncesi ve pandemi sürecindeki aylara bakıldığında 19-54 yaş arası hastaların daha çok olduğu görülmektedir. Bu süreçte en çok azalan 0-18 yaş arasındaki hastalar olmuştur. Pandemi süresince KBB polikliniklerine başvuran hastalarda en fazla 0-18 yaş arası hastaların sayısında azalma daha sonra 55 ve üzeri yaş aralığındaki hasta sayısında azalma ve en az da 19-54 yaş arasındaki hasta sayısında azalma olmuştur.Elde edilen verilere göre pandemi öncesine göre KBB polikliniklerine başvuran hasta sayılarında bir düşüş görülmüştür.
COVID-19 is known to be a new viral respiratory disease, first seen in the Chinese state of Vuhan and identified with high fever and respiratory impairment, and is transmitted through drops and contact. Since the first case of COVID-19 disease in Turkey has been seen, the clinics of the Kulak Burun Boğaz (KBB) branch have played an effective role in the fight against the pandemic. In this study, patients who go to the KBB clinics in the Elazığ Fethi Sekin City Hospital before and during the pandemic process were compared by age and gender. It has been studied whether the number of patients who go to the KBB clinics before and during the pandemic has decreased or increased, and the number of patients who go to the clinics during the pandemic has increased. This study, which is retrospective, covers 157830 patients from 01.01.2019 to 31.05.2021, who go to the clinics of the Elazığ Fethi Sekin City Hospital KBB. The SPSS (ver: 22) package program was used for statistical calculations and analysis. Identifying statistics for the characteristics on which it is focused are given as average, number and percentage. In terms of the characteristics of the groups, a combined t-test was used in comparison of the pre-pandemic and pandemic process. The statistical significance (importance) level is estimated at 5%. The average number of female patients who apply to the KBB clinics is 3510,67 while the average of male patients is 3359,40 and the number of female patients in all these months is seen. The average of male patients applying to the KBB clinics during the pandemic process is 1941,71, while the average of female patients is 1971,07. In the months before and during the pandemic process, the number of patients aged 19-54 is increased. The number of patients in this period was between 0 and 18 years. During the pandemic period, the number of patients in the KBB clinics has been reduced by 0 to 18 years of age and the number of patients in the age range has been reduced by 55 and over and the number of patients in the age range has been reduced by at least 19 to 54 years of age.

This retrospective study included 157830 patients who went to Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital Otorhinolaryngologypolyclinics between 01.01.2019 and 31.05.2021.
