Hundreds of thousands of people have fled to Turkey since the civil war started in Syria in 2011. Refugees and local residents have been facing various challenges such as sociocultural and economic ones and access to health services. Trauma exposure is one of the most important and underestimated health problems of refugees settling in camps.
We aimed to evaluate refugee admissions to emergency department because of trauma in means of demographics of patients and mechanism of trauma and compare the results with the local population.
Retrospective evaluation of results and comparison with the results of local population.
We determined that the ratio of emergency admission of refugee patients because of trauma was significantly higher than the local population for most types of trauma.
Further studies with more refugee participants are needed to fully understand the underlying reasons for this high ratio to protect refugees as well as for planning to take caution to attenuate the burden on healthcare systems.
自2011年叙利亚内战爆发以来，数十万人逃往土耳其。难民和当地居民一直面临着各种挑战，如社会文化和经济挑战以及获得医疗服务的问题。创伤暴露是定居在难民营中的难民最重要且被低估的健康问题之一。
我们旨在通过患者人口统计学特征和创伤机制评估因创伤而进入急诊科的难民情况，并将结果与当地人口进行比较。
对结果进行回顾性评估并与当地人口的结果进行比较。
我们确定，因创伤而急诊入院的难民患者比例在大多数创伤类型中显著高于当地人口。
需要开展更多有更多难民参与的研究，以充分了解这一高比例的潜在原因，从而保护难民，并规划采取预防措施以减轻医疗系统的负担。
