Results: Of the patients, 68.9% were male and 31.1% were female, with a mean age of 72.8 ± 6.11 years. Among them, 53.8% and 46.2% were exposed to trauma due to non-accidental causes and an accident, respectively. Such accidental injuries most commonly occurred due to traffic accidents (78%) and falls (16.7%), whereas non-accidental injuries most commonly occurred due to intentional injuries (96.1%). Accidental and non-accidental injuries were most commonly seen in females and males, respectively. The injury severity score was higher for accidental injuries. Minor and major injuries were observed in 95.1% and 4.9% patients, respectively, according to the injury severity score. Of the major injuries, 42.9% were in the head and neck region.

Materials and Method: Patients hospitalized in the respiratory ICU of Adnan Menderes University Medical Faculty between January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018 were included. Patients aged 65 years and over were classified as the Elderly group, whereas those aged under 65 years were classified as the Non-Elderly group. The groups were compared for demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics. Parameters affecting mortality in the Elderly group were also evaluated.

Introduction: In addition to bringing many physiological changes with it, aging is a period in which morbidity and mortality rates increase due to the increase in the incidence of chronic diseases and malignant diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of conditions requiring intensive care and the mortality incidence based on geriatric age groups followed-up in the intensive care unit.

Materials and Method: In order to contribute to our current understanding of the subject, a study was conducted in a long-term care facility in Istanbul, Turkey. Participating elderly residents (N = 39) were exposed to natural light outdoors (> 10,000 lx) for 40 minutes in the morning on 17–21 June and 1–5 July 2019, and they were asked to report on their sleep quality by completing various questionnaires throughout the study.

Results: Our study included 769 cases. There was a statistically significant difference between the two genders in terms of the number of completed suicides (p <0.001). The most common suicide method was drug use (30.8%). In total, 36.7% of women and 62.7% of men used violent methods for suicide. We found a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of violent method usage (p <0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the age groups in terms of completed suicide percentages (p = 0.008), and the cases reported from urban and rural areas in terms of mortality (p <0.001).

Aim: Although age is not encountered as a contraindication for surgery, performing the surgical procedures in shortest time possible is essential in order to avoid complications and facilitate management of the coexisting comorbidities. The aim of this study is to determine the complication rates and to evaluate the risk factors according to the modified Clavien Dindo classification in elderly patients over 80 years of age who received plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Results: The percentage of young-old, middle-old, and very-old patients was 39.4%, 45.3%, and 15.3%, respectively. Women were more (64.3%) and their median age and digoxin concentrations were higher (p<0.001). Outpatients’ median digoxin concentrations were lower than inpatients’ median digoxin concentrations (p<0.001). A proportion of 46.6% of all digoxin levels were therapeutic; 29.2% were subtherapeutic; and 24.2% were toxic. Subtherapeutic levels in males and toxic levels in females predominated (p<0.001). Toxic levels were higher in inpatients, and subtherapeutic levels were higher in outpatients (p<0.001). The highest rate of therapeutic levels was observed in young-old patients (48.7%), while toxic levels were observed most frequently in very-old patients (28.1%). The highest number of digoxin orders in elderly patients was from the emergency department (44.2%).
