چکیده
Introduction: Patients aged sixty five years and over are the most quickly increasing age group all around the world and in our country. The majority of the patients admitted to the intensive care unit is constituted by this age group. In this study we planned to investigate the effect of the age on prognosis in intensive care unit patients. Material and Method: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 526 patients who were treated in the General Intensive Care Unit between the years of 2005-2010 in the Siirt State Hospital in Turkey. The patients aged 65 years and over were categorized into the Group I (elderly group) and patients aged under 65 years were categorized into group II (younger group) Results: While 49% of the patients constituted the elderly patient group, 51% of the patients were young patients. The mean age in the group I was found as 79,5±8,5 and in the group II, it was found as 50,2±12,2. 78, 3% of patients aged 65 years and over had a fatal clinical course. This rate was defined as 38,4% in patients under the age of 65. A significant difference was found between the two groups in mortality (p<0,001). A significant relationship was found between the length of stay and mortality rate (p<0,001). Conclusion:According to our results, the mortality rates were higher in patients aged over 65 years, in intubated patients, patients with prolonged length of stay in intensive care unit and with high scores of APACHE II. The most common reason of admission and mortality was cardiovascular diseases. The longest length of stay in intensive care unit was observed in cerebrovascular disorders.
