dc.description.abstractObjective: The patients hospitalized in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) were evaluated for the diagnosis, gender, length of stay, months at which they were hospitalized and discharged. Method: In this study, 698 patients hospitalized and followed-up in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Pediatric Health and Diseases of Dicle University Faculty of Medicine between dates of November 2002 - February 2005 were evaluated. Results: 95 (13.6%) of patients were hospitalized with the diagnosis of pulmonary infection, 84 of those (%12) with sepsis, 70 (10%) with poisoning, 49 (7%) with infection of central nerve system, 44 (6.3%) with status epilepticus, 28 (4%) with hepatic coma, 27 (3.9%) with snakebite, 24 (3.4%) with scorpion bite, 18 (2.6%) with trauma, 17 (2.4%) with intracranial bleeding, 15 (2.1%) with meningococcemia, 12 (1.7%) with drowning, 8 (1.14%) with electric shock, and 7 of patients (1%) with malignancy. While most frequent hospitalization was recorded in January (10.7%) and June (10.4%), the least frequent hospitalization was observed in October (5.7%). Number of female patients was 300 (42.8%), whereas number of male patients was 398 (57.2%). Mean length of stay was 5.3±6.1 days. 363 (51.8%) of patients were transferred to other services after their general condition had been stabilized, 86 (12.3%) of patients were discharged from the intensive care unit, 8 (1.14%) of patients were referred to an advanced center, and 238 (34.4%) of patients died. Conclusion: In this study, it is intended to highlight the fact that the pulmonary infection and thus the respiratory support are the most frequently recorded conditions in the intensive care unit and that preventable diseases such as poisoning in childhood, trauma, drowning, and electric shock take an important place in hospitalization. © 2011 Düzce Medical Journal.en_US
