Abstract

Amaç: Ramazan Bayramı ve Kurban Bayramı'nda acil servis (ED) başvurularının özelliklerini belirlemek.
Gereç ve Yöntem: 2018 ve 2019 Kurban ve Ramazan Bayramı nedeniyle yapılan resmi tatillerde acile başvuran hastaları karşılaştırdık.
Bulgular: Çalışma döneminde 37737 kişi acil servise başvurdu. Bayram dışı zamana göre Kurban Bayramı'nda başvuran hastalar %14,4, Ramazan Bayramı'nda başvuranlar %9,8 arttı (tümü için p<0,001). Her iki tatil döneminde de yatan hastalarda artış olurken, bu oran sadece Kurban Bayramı için anlamlıydı (%20,8, p=0,0008). Kurban Bayramı'nda konsültasyon sayısı %5,6 azalırken, Ramazan Bayramı'nda önemli oranda %12,8 arttı.
Sonuç: Uzun bayram tatilinde acil servis başvuruları arttı. Kurban Bayramı'nda konsültasyonlar azalırken, Ramazan Bayramı'nda arttı.

Evaluation of patients admitted to the emergency department during religious holidays

Abstract

Aim: To determine the characteristics of emergency department (ED) presentations during the Ramadan Feast and Feast of Sacrifice.
Materials and Methods: We compared the patients that presented to the ED during the public holiday for the Feast of Sacrifice and the Ramadan Feast in 2018 and 2019.
Results: During the study periods, 37737 people presented to the ED. Compared to the non-holiday time, the patients presenting during the Feast of Sacrifice increased by 14.4%, and those presenting during the Ramadan Feast increased by 9.8% (p<0.001 for both). While there was an increase in hospitalized patients in both holiday periods, this rate was statistically significant only for Feast of Sacrifice (20.8%, p=0.0008). The number of consultations decreased by 5.6% during the Feast of Sacrifice and increased by 12.8% during the Ramadan Feast (p=0.0002).
Conclusion: ED presentations increased during the long religious holiday. While the number of consultations decreased during the Feast of Sacrifice, they increased during the Ramadan Feast.
