Demographic Characteristics of Syrian Patients Having Died in Hospital
Journal Title: Bagcilar Medical Bulletin - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: Our study aims at reviewing the demographic characteristics of Syrian patients who presented to a state hospital in Sanliurfa, where the largest immigrant camp is located, and subsequently died. Material and Methods: Syrian patients who died after presenting to a state hospital in Sanliurfa between 2011-2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients’ age, gender, trauma status, reasons of death, and place of death (inside or outside the hospital) were examined in detail. Results: The study included a total of 1866 Syrian citizens who after being admitted to hospital were declared dead at the state hospital in Sanliurfa between 2011 and 2015. Of the patients, 43.7% (n=816) were female. The mean age of the patients was 61.16 ± 23.6 years (%95 CI: 60.08 - 62.23). Comparing the patients according to reasons of their death, while the groups varied depending on age, gender and traumatic injury (p<0.001, p=0.047, p<0.001, respectively), no difference was obtained between the groups according to presence of a firearm injury (p=0.290). Conclusion: There is no significant difference between in-hospital deaths and emergency service deaths of traumatic Syrian patients.
