    Effect of harmless acute pancreatitis score, red cell distribution width and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio on the mortality of patients with nontraumatic acute pancreatitis at the emergency department
    (ZHEJIANG UNIV SCH MEDICINE, 2015-01-01) Gulen, Bedia; Sonmez, Ertan; Yaylaci, Serpil; Serinken, Mustafa; Eken, Cenker; Dur, Ali; Turkdogan, Figen Tunali; Sogut, Ozgur
    BACKGROUND: Harmless acute pancreatitis score (HAPS), neutrophile/lymphocyte ratio and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) are used to determine the early prognosis of patients diagnosed with nontraumatic acute pancreatitis in the emergency department (ED). METHODS: Patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis (K 85.9) in the ED according to the ICD10 coding during one year were included in the study. Patients with chronic pancreatitis and those who had missing data in their files were excluded from the study. Patients who did not have computed tomography (CT) in the ED were not included in the study. RESULTS: Ultimately, 322 patients were included in the study. The median age of the patients was 53.1 (IQR=36-64). Of the patients, 68.1\% (n=226) had etiological causes of the biliary tract. The mortality rate of these patients within the first 48 hours was 4.3\% (n=14). In the logistic regression analysis performed by using Balthazar classification, HAPS score, RDW, neutrophile/lymphocyte ratio, age, diabetes mellitus and systolic blood pressure, the only independent variable in determining mortality was assigned as Balthazar classification (OR: 15

    Work-related injuries in textile industry workers in Turkey
    (TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2012-01-01) Serinken, Mustafa; Turkcuer, Ibrahim; Dagli, Bekir; Karcioglu, Ozgur; Zencir, Mehmet; Uyanik, Emrah
    BACKGROUND This study was conducted as a survey including work-related injuries (WRI) of workers in the textile and clothing industry admitted to the emergency department (ED). METHODS This prospective study included patients with WRI reportedly occurring in the textile and clothing industry over a two-year period. The study sample comprised only the casualties occurring at the workplace and while working de facto. RESULTS A total of 374 patients were eligible for the study. More than three-fourths of the study sample were females (76.2\%, n=285). A significant proportion of the patients were between 14 and 24 years of age (44.7\%, n=167). Approximately two-thirds reported that this was their first admission to a hospital related to WRI (65.8\%, n=246). WRIs occurred most frequently between 07:00-09:00 (27.3\%) and 23:00-01:00 (17.9\%). ``Carelessness{''} and ``rushing{''} were the most commonly reported causes of WRIs from the patients' perspective (40.6\% and 21.4\%, respectively). Three-fourths of the patients reported that they were using protective equipment (74.3\%, n=278). With respect to injury types, laceration/puncture/ amputation/avulsion injuries accounted for 55.6\% (n=208) of the sample. Trauma to the upper extremities was the main type of injury in 75.1\% (n=281) of the cases. CONCLUSION Broad population-based studies are needed to define the situation as a whole in WRIs in the textile and clothing industry in the country. Strict measures should be undertaken and revised accordingly to prevent WRIs in these growing sectors.

    Causes and characteristics of work-related eye injuries in western Turkey
    (WOLTERS KLUWER MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS, 2013-01-01) Serinken, Mustafa; Turkcuer, Ibrahim; Cetin, Ebru Nevin; Yilmaz, Atakan; Elicabuk, Hayri; Karcioglu, Ozgur
    Objectives: To analyze descriptive data and characteristics of work-related eye injuries (WREI) admitted into the emergency department (ED) and obtain information to utilize in planning measures to prevent WREI. Materials and Methods: This prospective study recruited patients with WREI admitted to the center in the two-year study period. Only the casualties occurred at the workplace and while working constituted the sample. The data were collected via face-to-face contact in the ED. Results: Males comprised the majority of the sample (95.3\%, n = 778) and mean age of the patients was 28.1 +/- 6.5 (range: 15-54) with the biggest percentage in between 25 and 34 years of age (46.2\%, n = 377). Most patients were working in the metal and machinery sectors (66.4\%, n = 542). Nearly half of the patients had less than 1 year of experience (50.4\%, n = 411). The most common mechanism of WREI was noted to be exposures to welding light (26.9\%, n = 219), followed by drilling/cutting injuries (21.1\%, n = 172). ``Carelessness{''} and ``hurrying up{''} were the most commonly reported causes of WREIs among `worker-related causes' (21.4\% and 16.1\%, respectively). Lack of protective measures ranked the highest among workplace-related causes (18.7\%, n = 207). Conclusions: Programs to increase awareness on workplace safety and sound preventive strategies for both parties-employers and employees are to be pursued. Occupational safety efforts should include training on workplace eye safety and campaigns to raise knowledgeability on this disease among workers.
