Abstract
Aim: As the world's elderly population has increased, so has the incidence of associated disorders. Agerelated physiological changes both predispose the elderly to trauma and exacerbate the consequences
of trauma. In our study, we aimed to determine the factors influencing the prognosis of geriatric patients
who underwent surgery or were hospitalised for head trauma.
Materials and Methods: Geriatric patients treated for head trauma in the neurosurgery department of
of the hospital between 2012 and 2023 were included in the study.
A total of 107 geriatric patients with head trauma treated by the same surgical team were
retrospectively evaluated. Factors influencing the prognosis of 70 patients who underwent surgery and
37 patients who received only hospitalization and medical treatment were investigated. Demographic
data, medical history, physical examination findings, radiological data, treatment modalities, causes of
morbidity and mortality were evaluated,
Results: The mortality rate was 20.5% in male patients and 32.4% in female patients. The final variables
that had an effect on mortality were: thickness of hemorrhage on cranial computed tomography
(CT), bleeding diathesis, haemodialysis, chronic subdural haematoma and length of stay in intensive
care unit stay.
Conclusion: Mortality risk in geriatric patients were 7.654-fold in patients with a haematoma thickness
of more than 10 mm on cranial CT, 11.825-fold in patients with bleeding diathesis, 6.847-fold in patients
receiving hemodialysis and 4.606-fold in patients without chronic subdural hematoma. As the duration
of intensive care unit stay increases by one day, the mortality risk increases 1.052 times. The results of
the study may help us to predict the prognosis in geriatric head trauma.

Kafa travması nedeniyle hospitalize edilen geriatrik hastalarda prognozu etkileyen faktörlerin incelenmesi
Abstract
Amaç: Dünyada yaşlı nüfusun artması ile birlikte buna bağlı hastalıklar da artmıştır. Yaşlılığa bağlı
fizyolojik değişiklikler hem yaşlıları travmaya açık hale getirmekte hem de travma sonuçlarını
ağırlaştırmaktadır. Araştırmamızda kafa travması nedeniyle opere edilen veya hospitalize edilerek takip
edilen geriatrik hastalarda, hangi faktörlerin prognoz üzerinde etkili olduğunun ortaya konulması
amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastanemiz beyin cerrahi kliniğinde 2012-2023 yılları arasında kafa travması
nedeniyle tedavi edilen geriatrik hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Aynı cerrahi ekip tarafından tedavi edilen
107 kafa travmalı geriatrik hasta retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Opere edilerek tedavi gören 70
hasta ve sadece hospitalize edilerek tıbbi tedavi alan 37 hastanın prognozlarını etkileyen faktörler
araştırıldı. Hastaların demografik verileri, anamnezleri, fizik muayene bulguları, radyolojik verileri,
tedavi şekilleri morbidite ve mortalite nedenleri, değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Erkek hastaların %20,5’i ve kadın hastaların %32,4’ü kaybedilmiştir. Mortalite üzerine etkili
olan nihai değişkenler kraniyal bilgisayarlı tomografide (BT) hematom kalınlığı, kanama diyatezi,
hemodiyaliz, kronik subdural hematom ve yoğun bakım yatış süresi olarak elde edildi.
Sonuç: Geriatrik hastalarda mortalite riski: kraniyal BT’de hematom kalınlığı 10 mm’den fazla olan
hastalarda 7,654 kat, kanama diyatezi olan hastalarda 11,825 kat, hemodiyaliz alan hastalarda 6,847
kat ve kronik subdural hematom olmayan hastalarda 4,606 kat artmaktadır. Yoğun bakım yatış süresi
bir gün arttıkça mortalite riski 1,052 kat artmaktadır. Araştırmanın sonuçları geriatrik kafa travmalarında
prognozu tahmin etmemizde yardımcı olabilir.
