BACKGROUND
Greece is suffering an economic recession of enormous magnitude, but whether its health has deteriorated as a result, has not yet been well established. We aim to present and analyze differences in demographics and clinical distribution of patients victims of physical abuse examined at the surgical emergency room in an Academic institution in the era of financial crisis.
METHODS
A retrospective database analysis of all patients that were examined to surgical emergency room (ER), between January 1st 2008 and December 31st 2014, was conducted. We only analyzed and evaluated data for the years 2008 to 2014.
RESULTS
The number of patients being examined in the ER in 2011 was higher compared with that of 2014 and to 2008 respectively (P<0.05). There was an increase of the total cases of physical abuse (P<0.05). The majority of cases examined for physical abuse were men, with a constant tendency of increasing number of women abused throughout the years of crisis.
CONCLUSIONS
Financial crisis seems to have a multivariable effect on epidemiology and clinical diversity of the patients, victims of physical abuse, being examined in the ER.
背景
希腊正遭受极其严重的经济衰退，但经济衰退是否导致其民众健康状况恶化，目前尚未明确。我们旨在呈现并分析在金融危机时期，一所学术机构的外科急诊室中接受检查的身体虐待受害者的人口统计学和临床分布差异。
方法
对2008年1月1日至2014年12月31日期间在外科急诊室接受检查的所有患者进行回顾性数据库分析。我们仅分析和评估了2008年至2014年的数据。
结果
2011年在急诊室接受检查的患者数量分别高于2014年和2008年（P<0.05）。身体虐待的总病例数有所增加（P<0.05）。接受身体虐待检查的大多数病例为男性，在整个危机年份中，受虐女性的数量呈持续上升趋势。
结论
金融危机似乎对外科急诊室中接受检查的身体虐待受害者患者的流行病学和临床多样性产生多变量影响。
