Objective: To contribute to the national data on the
subject by analyzing WA-related ED admissions during a 1-year period in our center.
Method: Cases
admitted to our hospital due to a WA during a 1-year period were enrolled in
the study. Information regarding gender, age, accident date, injury mechanism,
injured body parts, consultations, diagnoses, severity of the injury, outcome
of the patient and the services which the admitted patients were admitted to
were gathered. p ≤.05 was considered to be significant.
Results: Three hundred and
eighty patients were enrolled in the study. A great majority of the victims (88.4%)
were male. Mean age of the cases was 34.88±9.74 years. The month with the
highest number of admissions was June (11.1%). WA victims mostly presented
during day-time period (54.7%). Contact with sharp objects was the most common injury
mechanism (34.2%). More than one third of the cases were consulted with at
least one department (34.2%). Upper extremities were the most commonly injured
body parts (51.3%). The most common diagnosis was mild soft tissue injury (40.0%).
Most of the cases (86.6%) were discharged from the emergency department; 12.6%
were admitted to our hospital; .8% were referred to another health care
facility, and none of the patients died in the emergency department.
Conclusions: WAs mostly affect young male workers; most of the WAs
occur during day-time period; WAs mostly occur as a result of contact with
sharp objects; mostly upper extremities are affected in which hands are the
most commonly injured part, and hand fingers form the part which has the
highest possibility of injury.
