“…[1] In the same study, it was revealed that 52.7% of the consulted patients were hospitalized, the most common pre-diagnosis was pneumonia, and the most common computerized tomography finding was consolidation. [1] In comparison to that study, the present study has some similarities in terms of age, sex, complaints, and the most frequent pre-diagnosis in summer months. On the other hand, the most important differences between that study and ours are that the most frequent pre-diagnosis in winter was COPD, the most frequent computerized tomography finding was "other"or "non-emergency" findings, and the hospitalization rate was 61.1% in our study.…”

“…Chest diseases are of particularly great significance among the internal medicine branches, and in some studies, it was found that 0.5-1% of patients presenting to an emergency unit had consultations with the Department of Chest Diseases. [1] In another previous study, among all internal medicine consultations requested by an emergency service, the Department of Chest Diseases ranked second, after the Department of Cardiology. [2] The most common complaint of patients presenting to emergency services and consulting with the Department of Chest Diseases is shortness of breath andthe most common imaging technique used for these patients in the emergency unit is chest radiography.…”

Aim: This study aims to show seasonal differences by analysing the chest disease consultations requested by an emergency unit in summer (June, July, and August) and winter (December, January, and February) months. Methods: Patients over the age of 18 years who were directed by an emergency unit to the Department of Chest Diseases between 1 December 2021 and 31 August 2022 and whose thoracic computerized tomography results were available were included in the study. Variables such as the patients’ demographic characteristics, complaints, results of the examinations done in the emergency unit, hospitalization rates, place of hospitalization (hospital ward or intensive care), and pre-diagnosis before hospitalization were evaluated. The statistical significance level was accepted as p < 0.05 in all calculations and statistical analysis of the data was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: For the 409 patients included in this study, more consultations were requested in the winter months (n = 239, 58.4%). We identified significant differences between the seasonal groups in terms of the complaints and the additional radiological imaging findings of patients consulted in summer and winter months (p < 0.05). The most common complaint in both seasons was shortness of breath. Pleural effusion was less common among the additional radiological findings of both seasons. Conclusion: This study has revealed significant differences between seasonal groups in terms of complaints and additional radiological imaging findings of patients with consultations in summer and winter months. However, there were no significant differences between the seasonal groups in terms of age, sex, pre-diagnosis, place of hospitalization, or main radiological findings.

OBJECTIVE: The multidisciplinary approach is extremely important in the thoracic surgery department, as it is in every medical department. The aim of this study was to reveal the place of the department of thoracic surgery in the multidisciplinary approach and its relations with other departments through consultation records. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Consultations requested from the other departments (inbound) and by the thoracic surgery department (outbound) in a period of 10 years (January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2022) were obtained from the hospital information management system and analyzed by descriptive statistical methods. RESULTS: In the 10-year period, the department that requested the most consultations from thoracic surgeons was the emergency department, with 2793 (38.78%) consultations. In this period, thoracic surgery mostly requested consultation from the anesthesiology and infectious diseases departments (n = 1638 (29.97%) and 1104 (17.42%), respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Thoracic surgery is a part of the trauma team and is also the department that treats surgical diseases of the lung. Therefore, thoracic surgery consultation is requested especially by emergency services and chest diseases departments. The thoracic surgery department is in close contact with the anesthesiology, pulmonology, and cardiology departments and frequently requests consultation from these departments, especially for preoperative evaluation. With COVID-19, infectious diseases were also added to this preoperative team.

Purpose: The increasing trend of metabolic diseases causes endocrine emergencies to be encountered more frequently in emergency services. This trend increases the importance of endocrinology consultations from emergency services. Examining the features of these consultations will allow the process to be concluded more quickly and effectively. Materials and Method: Patients who applied to Manisa Celal Bayar University Faculty of Medicine Emergency Department between March 1, 2017 and March 1, 2022, and were consulted with the Department of Endocrinology were included. The patients' age, gender, diagnoses, the day, the duration and the results of the consultations were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the 326 patients included in the study was 51.56 ± 19.4 years. 53.4% (n=174) were female, 46.6% (n=152) were male. Of the patients, 29.4% (n=96) were diagnosed as diabetic ketoacidosis, 21.5% (n=70) hyperglycemia, and 10.7% (n=35) diabetic ketosis. The mean consultation duration was 65.21 ± 46.23 minutes. 32.2% of the patients (n=105) were discharged from the emergency department. This was followed by endocrinology service admission (23.9%; n=78) and intensive care unit admission (17.8%; n=58). Conclusion: In the sample group with homogeneous gender and age distribution, it was observed that the majority of the patients applied to the emergency service with diabetes-related emergencies. The diagnosis spectrum of the patients was quite wide, and the consultations were concluded within an average of about one hour. A further investigation of the emergency department endocrinology consultations in detail will contribute to detecting the problems in this process and; therefore, its improvement.
