Change in Forensic Cases Admitted to Emergency Department during COVID-19 Pandemic
Öz: Objective: This study aimed to determine the change in forensic cases admitted to an emergency department after the COVID-19 pandemic, due to its adverse effect on all people around the world in various ways.Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively in a single center. The sample size included 1645 forensic cases over the age of 18 years admitted to an emergency department between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2020. Ethical approval before the study was obtained from a Local Clinical Research Ethics Committee. The period between 11 March 2020 and 31 December 2020 was considered the COVID-19 pandemic (DP), while the pre-DP period was named as BP. The distribution rates of forensic cases in BP versus DP were compared.Results: Both traffic and work accidents were higher in males than females, whereas suicide attempts were higher in females than males (p<0.001). Suicide attempts by both women (BP: 14.9%, DP: 17.4%) and men (BP: 3.7%, DP: 4.9%) showed an increase for DP (p< 0.01). Work accidents were lower in women (BP: 22.3%, DP: 13.4%) and men (BP: 22.5%, DP: 21.1%) in DP than BP (p<0.01).Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased suicide rates in both women and men but reduced work accident rates. Suicide rates were higher in women than men. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected people in many ways, including forensic, employment, economic, and psychological aspects.
Anahtar Kelime: Acil Servise Başvuran Adli Vakaların COVID-19 Pandemisindeki Değişimi
Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışmada, tüm dünyada insanların tamamını birçok yönden olumsuz etkileyenCOVID-19 pandemisinin acil servise başvuran adli vakaların pandemi öncesine göregösterdiği değişimi saptamak amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma tek merkezli retrospektif olarak yapıldı. Çalışmaya 01 Ocak2019- 31 Aralık 2020 acil servise başvuran 18 yaş üzerindeki 1645 adli vaka dâhil edildi.Çalışma için öncesinde Lokal Klinik Araştırmalar Etik Kurulu’ndan etik onay alındı. 11 Mart2020- 31 Aralık 2020 tarihleri arası COVID-19 pandemisi (DP), önceki tarihler ise pandemiöncesi (BP) olarak kabul edildi. BP ve DP dönemlerinde adli vakaların dağılım oranlarıkarşılaştırılmıştır.Bulgular: Trafik kazaları ve iş kazaları erkek cinsiyette kadınlara göre yüksek saptandı, bunakarşılık kadınlarda intihar girişimleri erkeklerden yüksek saptandı (p<0,001). Hem kadınlarda(BP: %14,9, DP: %17,4) hem de erkeklerde (BP: %3,7, DP: %4,9) intihar girişimlerinin artışgösterdiği saptandı (p<0,01). Pandemi sırasında, pandemi öncesiyle karşılaştırıldığındakadınlarda (BP: %22,3, DP: %13,4) ve erkeklerde (BP: %22,5, DP: %21,1) iş kazaları düşüksaptandı (p<0,01). Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisi hem kadınlarda hem de erkeklerde intihar oranlarını arttırmış,iş kazası oranlarını ise azaltmıştır. Kadınlardaki intihar oranları erkeklerden yüksekbulunmuştur.
