The humanitarian response for Syria has been largely managed either from within Syria or from neighboring countries, particularly Turkey. This study was aimed at determining the sociodemographic and clinical profiles of Syrian asylum-seekers admitted to our clinic, changes in patient number across years, and the percentage of patients on follow-ups.
Syrian patients who were admitted to the neurology outpatient clinics, neurology emergency department (ED), and hospitalized in the neurology clinics were included in the study. Age, gender, number of admissions, year of admissions, chief complaints, diagnoses, and follow-up percentages of patients were recorded.
The total number of Syrian patients who were first admitted to our hospital and consulted from other clinics, were found to be 763 (ED: 609 [79.8%], outpatient: 134 [17.6%] consultation: 20 [2.6%]). A total of 543 (96.1%) of the patients with a neurological disorder did not come to the follow-ups even though their conditions required regular follow-ups. The most common complaints were headache (24.2%), fainting (16.1%), weakness (11.9%), and dizziness (10%).
Most of the patients admitted to our hospital did not come to the follow-ups and information regarding their treatments could not be obtained. Even though the Republic of Turkey provided the Syrian asylum-seekers with free medical care, utilization of these resources may be limited because of socioeconomic issues.
对叙利亚的人道主义救援工作主要在叙利亚境内或邻国，特别是土耳其进行管理。本研究旨在确定入住我们诊所的叙利亚寻求庇护者的社会人口统计学和临床特征、多年来患者数量的变化以及随访患者的百分比。
纳入在神经科门诊、神经科急诊科就诊以及在神经科病房住院的叙利亚患者。记录患者的年龄、性别、入院次数、入院年份、主要症状、诊断以及随访百分比。
首次入住我院并从其他诊所转诊而来的叙利亚患者总数为763例（急诊科：609例[79.8%]，门诊：134例[17.6%]，会诊：20例[2.6%]）。尽管患有神经系统疾病的患者中有543例（96.1%）病情需要定期随访，但他们并未前来随访。最常见的症状是头痛（24.2%）、昏厥（16.1%）、虚弱（11.9%）和头晕（10%）。
我院收治的大多数患者未前来随访，无法获取有关其治疗的信息。尽管土耳其共和国为叙利亚寻求庇护者提供免费医疗服务，但由于社会经济问题，这些资源的利用可能受到限制。
