Abstract

Amaç: Yaralanmalar günümüzde en önemli konular arasındadır ve ekonomik, sosyal ve sağlıkla ilgili sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı hastaneye başvuran travma hastalarına yaklaşım ve yönetiminin, bu çalışma sonuçları ve literatür bilgileri ile kıyaslama yaparak daha iyi hale getirilmesi ve gelişmiş ülkelerdeki standardizasyonu yakalaması için katkı sağlamaktır. 

Yöntemler: 01 Eylül 2017 ve 30 Nisan 2018 tarihleri arasında 8 aylık dönemde hastanemiz acil servisine başvuran hastaların verileri hastane bilgi otomasyon ve dosya kayıtlarından yararlanılarak retrospektrif olarak toplandı. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, yaralanma mekanizmaları, yaralanma bölgesi ve yatış verilen servis, taburculuk / eksitus kayıtları değerlendirmeye alındı. Analiz için SPSS 22 programı kullanıldı. Descriptives, Chi-Square istatistik testleri kullanılarak p˂0,05 anlamlı olacak şekilde kabul edildi.

Bulgular: Hastanemize başvuran 11225 hastanın 1106 tanesi travma hastası olarak acil servisimize başvurmuşlardır. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların yüzde 29,3’ü kadın hasta 70,7%’i ise erkek hasta olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışmamızda alınan hastalardan 551 (49.9%) hasta acil servisten takipleri sonrası taburcu edilmişlerdir. 541 hasta ise çeşitli bölümlere yatışı yapılmıştır. Başvuran hastalarımızdan 14 hastamız ise acil serviste eksitus oldu.

Sonuç : Travmalar gelişmiş ülkelerde acil servise başvuruların yaklaşık olarak dörtte birini oluşturmaktadır. Somali’de yaptığımız bu çalışmada ise yaklaşık 10’da 1 oranında olduğu görülmüştür. Travma hastalarının yönetiminde hastane öncesi ve hastane döneminin iyi yönetilmesi, uygun hastaneye uygun şekilde transport edilmesi travma hastalarında morbidite ve mortaliteyi azaltmaya yardımcı olabilir.

Evaluation of trauma patients admitted to the emergency department of in Mogadishu Training and Research Hospital, Somalia: Cross-sectional study of 1106 patients

Abstract

Aim: Trauma-related injuries are among the most pressing issues today, causing economic, social, and healthcare burdens. The aim of this study is to better manage and approach trauma patients by comparing our results with the literature, and reach standards set by developed countries. 

Methods: Data of patients who were admitted to the emergency service of Mogadishu Somalia Turkish Training and Research Hospital with trauma between 1 September 2017 and 30 April 2018 were retrospectively obtained from the hospital registry and patient files. Demographic data such as the age, gender, means of injury, site of injury, department of hospitalization and discharge/death records were recorded and analyzed. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: Among 11225 patients admitted to the emergency department, 1106 were trauma patients. 29.3% were females and 70.7% were males. 49.9% of the patients (n=551) were discharged from the emergency service after follow-up, and 50.1% (n=541) were admitted to various departments. 14 patients died in the emergency service. 

Conclusion: Traumas constitute about a quarter of referrals to the emergency service in developed countries. In Somalia, this ratio was about 1:10. Proper management during the pre-hospitalization and hospitalization periods and transferal of patients when needed may help reduce the morbidity and mortality of trauma patients.
