Abstract
Amaç: Pediatrik acil servislerde adli olgular önemli bir halk sağlığı problemidir. Adli olguların pediatrik fiziksel sakatlık ve ölümün önde gelen nedenlerinden olduğu düşünülmektedir. Pediatrik acil servisimize adli olgu olarak başvuran hastaların demografik özelliklerini incelemeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2 yıllık bir çalışma periyodunda acil servisimize başvuran ve adli olgu olarak tedavi edilen toplam 1856 kişi çalışmaya alındı. Hasta bilgileri hastane kayıtlarından elde edilmiştir ve acil servis doktorları tarafından analiz edilmiştir.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 671 erkek (%42.3) ve 915 kız (%57.7) dâhil edildi. Hastaların çoğunluğu 11- 14 yaş grubundaydı (n=397; %25.0). İlaç alımı en sık başvuru nedeniydi (n= 827; %52.1). Adli olgu başvurularında kış mevsimi en sık başvuru mevsimi (n= 486; %30.6), Ocak ayı en sık başvuru ayıydı (n=182; %11.5). Hastaların çoğunluğu 18-24 saatleri arasında başvurmuştu (n=551; %34.75). 947 olgunun (%59.7) başvuru anında hayati riski vardı.Sonuç: Çocuk ve adölesan yaralanmalarını önlemede efektif önleyici stratejilerin geliştirilmesi gereklidir.

Abstract
Objective: Pediatric medico-legal events are important public health problems in the pediatric emergency service. They are considered among the leading causes of pediatric disabilities and deaths. We performed a study to evaluate the demographic features of the medico-legal cases who presented to our pediatric emergency service.Material and Methods: During the 2-years study period, a total of 1586 patients presented to our service and were treated as medico-legal cases. Information about the patients was obtained from hospital records and analysed by the medical staff of the pediatric emergency service. Results: 671 male (42.3%) and 915 female (57.7%) patients were included in our study. The majority of the patients were between 11- 14 years of age (n=397; 25.0%). Drug intake was the major complaint (n= 827; 52.1%) of our patients. Winter was the most common season (n= 486; 30.6%) and January (n=182; 11.5%) was the most common month for medico-legal admissions. The majority of the patients (n=551; 34.75%) presented to our emergency between 18-24 hours. 947 cases (59.7%) had health risks at the time of presentation.Conclusion: Developing effective preventive strategies is essential to prevent child and adolescent injuries
