[Evaluation of XXXX wounded in the 17 August 1999 Marmara earthquake].

@entity1 @entity174 @entity6717 @entity580 @entity3511 @entity130
This study describes the experience of Kartal Research and Training @entity580 . We reviewed medical records of 698 @entity1 admitted to our hospital in a 30 days' period after the earthquake and analysed the types of @entity130 , treatment, morbidity and mortality rates. The hospitalized 273 @entity1 were grouped according to the @entity130 ; @entity1 with @entity6717 were analysed separately. The most frequent @entity130 were @entity130 (23.1%), extremity @entity174 (16.8%) and pelvis and spine @entity130 (16.1%). More than two system @entity130 were seen most frequently in the @entity3511 (45.5%), @entity130 (24.4%), and pelvis and @entity130 (27.3%) groups (p < 0.05). Overall mortality rate was 7.3%. The highest mortality rates were seen in the @entity3511 (27.3%) and @entity130 (20%) groups (p < 0.05). 61.9% of the @entity1 with @entity6717 underwent fasciotomy due to the compartment syndrome; hemodialysis was performed in 31 @entity1 . The most serious problem with earthquake is organization in the earthquake area, between hospitals and in hospitals. @entity130 is the @entity130 seen earthquakes. Early diagnosis and proper treatment should be done to improve survival.
