Abstract

Amaç: Bu retrospektif çalışmanın amacı, pandemi sırasında zorunlu tecrit nedeniyle fiziksel aktivitesi kısıtlanan bireylerde inme insidansının ne ölçüde etkilendiğini belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma popülasyonu, Mart 2019 ile Şubat 2021 tarihleri arasında Kayseri EMS'yi aktive eden inme, subaraknoid kanamalar, serebrovasküler durumlar, serebrovasküler hastalıklar, subdural kanamalar, hemipleji ve hemiparezi ICD kodlarına sahip hastalardan oluşmaktadır.
Bulgular: Görevlendirilen EMS ekibinin inme hastalarına Covid-19 pandemisi öncesinde ulaştığı ortalama süre 7,69±5,85 idi. Covid-19 sürecinde hastaya ortalama ulaşım süresi 8,94±6,51 olarak bulundu. Covid-19 sırasında ambulans taşıma süreleri daha uzundu ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı.
Sonuç: Türkiye'de yapılan bu tek merkezli çalışma sonucunda Covid-19 pandemisinin inme hastalarının EMS uygulamalarını etkilemediği gözlemlenmiştir. Daha kapsamlı çok merkezli çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.

Have COVID-19 Quarantine Measures Triggered The (Incidence Of) Stroke Patients Transported By Ambulance?

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this retrospective study is to determine to what extent the incidence of stroke in individuals whose physical activity was restricted due to the mandatory lockdown during the pandemic has been affected.
Material and Method: The study population consists of patients with the ICD codes of stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhages, cerebrovascular situations, cerebrovascular diseases, subdural hemorrhages, hemiplegia and hemiparesis who activated the Kayseri EMS between March 2019 and February 2021.
Result: The average timeframe in which the assigned EMS team reached stroke patients before the Covid-19 pandemic was 7.69±5.85. The average transportation time to the patient during Covid-19 was 8.94±6.51. Ambulance transportation times during Covid-19 were longer and statistically significant
Conclusion: As a result of this single-center study conducted in Turkey, it is observed that the Covid-19 pandemic did not affect the EMS applications of stroke patients. It is recommended that more comprehensive multicenter studies be conducted.
