Abstract
Amaç: Bir Geriatri merkezinde düzenli takip edilen hastaların sosyodemografik değişkenlerini, klinik durumlarını ve geriatrik sendromları değerlendirmek.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Geriatri polikliniğimizde Ocak 2013 ve Aralık 2015 yılları arasında düzenli takip edilen 1048 olgunun tıbbi kayıtları geriye dönük gözden geçirildi. Olguların yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim yılı, nörokognitif durum, duygu durum, günlük yaşam aktiviteleri, denge ve yürüme, nutrisyonel durumu da içeren Ayrıntılı Geriatrik Değerlendirme bilgileri, tanıları, kullanılan ilaç sayısı kaydedildi.
Bulgular: Olguların ortalama yaşı 77.4±6.8 olup %37.2’si erkek ve %62.8’i kadındı. %54.2’si evli ve %78.8’i en az 5 yıllık eğitime sahipti. 1048 olgunun %78.8’i non-demans olgularıydı ve %15.2’sinde Alzheimer hastalığı vardı. Olgularda polifarmasi (%59.8), üriner inkontinans (%44.1), ağrı (%41.8) ve uyku bozuklukları (%40.8) gibi geriatrik sendromlar bulunmaktaydı.
Sonuç: Yaşlı olgularda geriatrik sendromların değerlendirilmesi, hasta çıktılarının daha iyi olmasına neden olup, hastaların yaşam kalitesinin yükseltilmesi ve kişileştirilmiş tedavilere yardımcı olması bakımından önemlidir.

Abstract
Materials and Methods: The medical records of 1048 patients who were regularly followed up in our geriatric outpatient clinic, between January 2013 and December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, education year, diagnosis, number of drug used and data of compherensive geriatric assessment including neurocognitive status, mood, daily living activities, gait and balance, nutrition were recorded.
Results: The mean age of the cases was 77.4±6.8 of whom 37.2% were male and 62.8% female. 54.2% of them were married and 78.8% had education for at least 5 year. It was shown that 63% of 1048 patients were nondementia cases and 15.2% had Alzheimer’s disease. Geriatric syndromes such as polypharmacy (59.8%), urinary incontinence (44.1%), pain (41.8%), sleep disorders (40.8%) were found among the subjects.
Conclusion: Assessment of geriatric syndromes in the care of older patients are important to improve the quality of life significantly and help personalize management, leading to better patient outcomes.
