Retrospective analysis of patients applying to a health board to determine disability rates

Abstract

Introduction: Disabled is defined as a person who loses their physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social abilities to various degrees, and who therefore has difficulty in adapting to social life and meeting daily needs. Our aim is to analyze those patients who applied to our hospital’s medical board due to disability and to contribute to the statistics available in this area. Material and Method: Between 2015 and 2019, variables such as gender, age, disability rate, report duration, and additional diseases were analyzed among those patients who applied to Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Oncology Education and Research Hospital Health Board due to disability. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for statistical analysis of the study data. Results: Of the 2237 patients, 41.9% (n=938) were men and 58.1% (n=1299) were women. Patients’ mean age, regardless of gender, was found to be 55.29±16.32 years. Patients’ average disability score was 66.4±21.29; the three most common diseases were found to be cancer (n=1339, 28.19%), endocrinological and metabolic diseases (n=578, 12.16%), and cardiovascular system diseases (n=1056, 22.23%), respectively. Patients with a disability rate of 40% or above comprised 90% (n=2013) of the total number of patients; 5.1% (n=115) of the patients were fully dependent. Among all those who received reports, the rate of patients who received continuous reports was 71.9% (n=1610). The proportion of patients under 65 years of age (n=1598, 71.4%) was found to be higher than the proportion of patients above 65 years of age (n=636, 28.4%). Conclusion: Hospital health boards play an important role in the detection and rating of disability. When we compared the data we obtained in our study with the literature, several differences could be found. It is thought that these differences may be related to hospital roles or differences in interpretation among the various health boards. For this reason, it is important to follow up whether the standards are applied as much as developing standards that will ensure unity in practice
