Hipernatremili erişkin hastaların değerlendirilmesi: Tek merkez deneyimi
Amaç: Bu çalışmada acil servise başvuran ve hipernatremi tespit edilen hastalarda semptomlar, klinik özellikler, prevalans ve sağ-kalım oranlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, Ocak 2013-Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında Dicle Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi acil servisine başvuran, serum Na>148 mEq/L üzerinde olan hastalar dahil edildi. Çalışma retrospektif olarak gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Acil servise başvuran olgularda hipernatremi prevalansı %0,21 olarak tespit edildi. Tüm hastaların yaş ortalaması 69±22, median yaş 72 yıl idi. Ortalama hastanede kalma süresi 13,3±10,9 gün idi. Mortalite oranı %75,7 ve mortalite gelişen hastalarda erkek cinsiyet hakimiyeti (%56) tespit edildi. Mortalite ile şifa grubu istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldığında; hastanede kalma süresi, glukoz, üre, kreatinin ve kalsiyum ortalamaları açısından anlamlı fark tespit edildi (p
Assessment of adult patients with hypernatremia: A single center experience
Objective: In the present study, determination of symptoms, clinical characteristics, prevalence and recovery rates was aimed in patients who applied to the emergency service and diagnosed with hypernatremia.Methods: Patients who applied to Dicle University Medical School Emergency Service during January 2013-December 2014 and whose serum Na>148 mEq/L were included in the study. The study was conducted retrospectively.Results: Hypernatremia prevalence was determined as 0.21% in the cases who applied to the emergency service. The average age in all patients was 69±22 and the median age was 72 years. The average hospitalization period was 13.3±10.9 days. The mortality rate was 75.7% and male gender domination (56%) was determined in patients who developed mortality. When mortality and recovery groups were compared statistically; significant difference was determined (p<0.05) in terms of hospitalization period, glucose, urea, creatinine and calcium averages. The complaints of our patients who applied to the emergency service were changes in consciousness (92.7%), oral intake disorder (83.4%) and fever (48.6%) based on frequency order. The accompanying comorbid states were cerebrovascular illness (36.9%), Dementia/Alzheimer (32.4%) and hypertension (28.9%) based on frequency order.Conclusion: Consequently, hypernatremia is a fluid-electrolyte disorder progressing with high mortality and could be observed in older patients and in patients whose oral intake is defective and who have cerebrovascular illness and dementia.Key words: Hypernatremia, prevalence, mortality
