Investıgatıon Of The Forensıc Cases Who Had Been Admıtted To Pedıatrıc Emergency Department, Selcuk Unıversıty Medıcal Faculty Hospıtal

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to reveal the demographic epidemiological characteristics of pediatric forensic cases admitted to the emergency department of a medical school hospital, to determine the reasons for admission, admission times, hospitalization and death rates. Material and Method: 1104 patients between the ages of 0-18, admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Unit of Selcuk University Medical Faculty Hospital between 2016 and 2019, were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, reasons for admission, admission times, length of hospital stay, need for intensive care, and mortality rates of the cases were evaluated. Results: Of the patients, 538 (48.7%) were female and 566 (51.3%) were male. While the mean of boy was 57.86 months, the mean age of the girls was 81.43 months. When the mean age according to gender was analyzed statistically, a significant difference was found (p:0.001). The number of patients in the 0-6 age group (n=731, 66.2%) was found to be higher than the others. Summer was the season in which applications were most frequently observed. The most frequently admittance time zone was found to be between 16:00-23:59. The most common reason for admission was poisoning (n=855, 77.1%), followed by foreign body in the digestive tract (n=112, 10.5%). Conclusion: In our study, the majority of forensic cases are forensic cases caused by accident in the 0-6 age group. It has been observed that these cases can be prevented by taking careful measures. Therefore, medicines and cleaning products should be kept out of reach of children. It was thought that giving importance to security measures at home and providing training on this could reduce the frequency of poisoning.
