Aim: This study aimed to assess the health literacy (HL) levels of patients visiting the emergency department of a university hospital and identify related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the health literacy levels of patients visiting the emergency department of a university hospital, and to identify related factors. The re-quired sample size was at least 384 individuals, assuming an inadequate HL level of 50%, with 95% confidence interval and 5% margin of error. Data were collected through a two-part questionnaire designed by the researchers. The first part covered the patients’ socio-demographic characteristics and details regarding their emergency department visits. Meanwhile, the second part included the widely used Chew’s short questions to assess inadequate HL. The analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS version 27.0. Descriptive sta-tistics, including frequency, percentage, and mean, were used to summarize the charac-teristics of the study group. The Chi-square test was applied for data analysis. Results: The study group included 58% (n = 250) female and 42% (n = 181) male. Their ages ranged from 18 to 64 years, with a mean (SD) of 29.6 (10.8) and a median of 26.0. In terms of HL levels, 197 individuals (45.7%) had inadequate HL. The frequency of inadequate HL was higher in individuals over the age of 40 years and those with an education level of ≤8 years (p < 0.05 for each). A total of 39.2% (n = 169) of the patients had visited the emergency department multiple times for their current complaints, whereas 243 participants (56.4%) visited the emergency department for a different reason within the past six months. Conclusions: In our study, four out of ten individuals had inadequate HL, and the frequency of repeated emergency department visits was quite high. No statistically significant association was found between emergency department usage characteristics and health literacy levels in the present sample, highlighting the need for larger longitudinal studies with adjusted analyses.

Nörolojik aciller, hızlı müdahale gerektiren durumlar olup, doğru tanı ve tedaviye ulaşmak için doğru görüntüleme yöntemlerinin zamanında kullanılması önemlidir. Nörolojik acillerde en sık tercih edilen görüntüleme yöntemi de bilgisayarlı tomografidir (BT). Acil servislerde bilgisayarlı tomografinin doğru kullanımı ve tomografi ilkelerinin bilinmesi morbidite ve mortalite oranlarının azaltılmasında kritik öneme sahiptir.

Akut adrenal kriz, adrenal yetmezliği olan hastalarda veya eksojen glukokortikoid kullanımının ani kesilmesi durumunda ortaya çıkabilen, hayatı tehdit eden bir endokrin acildir. Nonspesifik klinik bulguları nedeniyle tanısı sıklıkla gecikebilir ya da atlanabilir. Bu bölümde, tekrarlayan astım atakları nedeniyle yüksek doz kortikosteroid kullanımı sonrası tedavisini kendiliğinden sonlandıran 64 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunulmaktadır. Hasta acil servise hipotansiyon, hipoglisemi, bulantı ve yaygın karın ağrısı ile başvurmuştur. Laboratuvar incelemesinde hiponatremi ve hiperkalemi saptanmıştır. Klinik tablo ve öykü birlikte değerlendirildiğinde akut adrenal kriz tanısı düşünülmüş, intravenöz hidrokortizon ve sıvı replasmanı ile tedavi başlanmıştır. Olgu, acil serviste adrenal kriz tanısının akılda tutulması gereken kritik karar noktalarını ve zamanında tedavinin yaşam kurtarıcı önemini vurgulamaktadır (1-4).

Euglisemik diyabetik ketoasidoz(eDKA), kan glukozunun <250 mg/dL olmasına karşın belirgin ketonemi ve metabolik asidozun eşlik ettiği, klasik DKA'ya kıyasla tanı sürecinde daha sık gözden kaçabilen bir alt tiptir. Sodyum-glukoz kotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitörlerinin tip 2 diyabet, kalp yetmezliği ve kronik böbrek hastalığı endikasyonlarında giderek yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte eDKA olgularının sıklığı da artmaktadır. Bu bölümde, tip 2 diyabet tanısıyla empagliflozin kullanan ve viral gastroenterit tablosu sonrası kusma, halsizlik ve Kussmaul solunumu ile acil servise başvuran 58 yaşında erkek hasta sunulmaktadır. Başvuruda parmak ucu kan şekeri 148 mg/dL ile normal sınırda seyrederken beta-hidroksibutirat (BOHB) 5.8 mmol/L, pH 7.18 ve anyon açığı 27 mEq/L olarak saptanmıştır. Olgu, SGLT2 inhibitörü kullanımının tetiklediği eDKA'nın; (i) klasik hiperglisemik tablonun eşlik etmemesi nedeniyle erken tanıda güçlük yarattığını, (ii) sabit hızlı insülin infüzyonu ve eş zamanlı dekstroz replasmanının tedavi köşe taşı olduğunu, (iii) BOHB izlemi olmaksızın yönetimin tuzaklara açık olduğunu vurgulamaktadır (1,2).

Background: Head trauma is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in emergency departments. It is essential to understand the factors leading to intracranial hemorrhage (IH) in order to improve outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with IH in patients presenting to the emergency department with head trauma. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted between 27 February 2019 and 27 February 2020 at the emergency department of Eskisehir Osmangazi University. Patients aged ≥18 years with head trauma were included. Data were collected from medical records, with follow-up information obtained via telephone or hospital revisits. Analyses were performed using the chi-squared test in IBM SPSS Statistics (version 21), with p < 0.05 being considered significant. Results: Of the 556 patients, 59.7% were male, and 40.3% were female, with an average age of 45.9 years (SD 21.5). Intracranial hemorrhage (IH) was more prevalent in patients aged over 60 years, with comorbidities, taking medication (especially anticoagulants and non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants [NOACs]), with altered consciousness, pathological neurological findings or experiencing non-minor trauma. Prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time and new or increased hemorrhage on follow-up CT scans were associated with IH. Conclusions: Advanced age, comorbidities, and anticoagulant use were key factors associated with intracranial hemorrhage (IH) in patients with head trauma. Further studies should assess predictors of mortality and outcomes.
