Özet:

 Objective: To compare summer and winter hospitalizations in the emergency department and to provide insight for reviewing the functioning of the emergency department and hospital-wide service and intensive care capacities according to the results. Material and Method: This retrospective study was conducted in the adult emergency department of a state hospital. Patients hospitalized in the emergency department between 01.07.2023-31.07.2023 and 01.01.2024-31.01.2024 were evaluated. Age, gender, time of admission date and hour, admission diagnosis, clinic of admission, service or intensive care unit admission, and forensic case status were analyzed. Results: In this study, 978 patients hospitalized in the emergency department were evaluated. Of the patients, 482 49.2 were admitted in winter and 496 50.8 in summer. In general, 54.2 were male. The mean age of the patients was 61.2621.58 years. The most common reasons for hospitalization were pneumonia 24.6, acute coronary syndrome 14.1 and acute renal failure 7.6 in winter, while pneumonia 16.3, acute coronary syndrome 15.5, and ischemic stroke 6.6 in summer. In terms of the distribution of the clinics in which patients were hospitalized according to the seasons, the most frequently hospitalized clinics were pulmonology 22.8, internal medicine 18 and general surgery 14.7 in winter, and internal medicine 18.8, pulmonology 16.1 and cardiology 14.9 in summer. Conclusion: Seasonal differences in diagnosis and clinical distribution can be observed in patient hospitalizations from the emergency department. Seasonal arrangements should be made in service and intensive care capacities in order to avoid disruption in patient hospitalizations.

 Amaç: Acil servisten yaz ve kış döneminde yapılan hasta yatışlarını karşılaştırmak ve ortaya çıkan sonuçlara göre acil servis işleyişi ve hastane genelinde servis ve yoğun bakım kapasitelerinin gözden geçirilmesine yönelik fikirler sunulmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma retrospektif olarak bir devlet hastanesinin erişkin acil servisinde yapıldı. Çalışma kapsamında 01.07.2023-31.07.2023 tarihleri ile 01.01.2024-31.01.2024 tarihleri arasında acil servisten hastaneye yatırılan hastalar değerlendirildi. Hastalarda yaş, cinsiyet, başvuru zamanı tarih ve saat, yatış teşhisi, yatırıldığı klinik, servis ya da yoğun bakım yatışı ve adli vaka durumu analiz edildi. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada acil servisten hastaneye yatan 978 hasta değerlendirildi. Hastaların 482si 49,2 kış, 496sı 50,8 ise yaz mevsiminde başvurmuştu. Genel olarak bakıldığında 54,2si erkekti. Hastaların genel yaş ortalaması 61,2621,58 oldu. En çok hasta yatışı nedenleri kış mevsiminde sırasıyla pnömoni 24,6, akut koroner sendrom 14,1 ve akut böbrek yetmezliği 7,6 olurken yaz mevsiminde pnömoni 16,3, akut koroner sendrom 15,5 ve iskemik inme 6,6 olmuştur. Mevsimlere göre hasta yatırılan kliniklerin dağılımına bakıldığında ise en çok yatış yapılan klinikler kış mevsiminde sırasıyla göğüs hastalıkları 22,8, iç hastalıkları 18 ve genel cerrahi 14,7, yaz mevsiminde ise iç hastalıkları 18,8, göğüs hastalıkları 16,1 ve kardiyoloji oldu 14,9. Sonuç: Acil servisten yapılan hasta yatışlarında teşhis ve kliniksel dağılım olarak mevsimsel farklılıklar gözlenebilmektedir. Hasta yatışlarında mağduriyet yaşanmaması adına servis ve yoğun bakım kapasitelerinde mevsimsel olarak düzenlemeler yapılmalıdır.
