Özet
Aim: Disabled patients are admitted to the medical board to determine the disability rate in order to use the occupational, health and social rights in Turkey. According to the law, over 40% of individuals with disabilities, based on the severity of their disability and illness rate, have different rights. We aimed to contribute to epidemiological data on people with disabilities in our city. Methods: Between January 2014 and December 2014 the records of patients were admitted to the medical board of Karabuk University Training and Research Hospital, and they were analyzed retrospectively. Results: In the medical board in January 2014-December 2014, 2637 cases were evaluated. 1554 of these patients were male (58.9%), 1083 women (41%). With the increase of age, the frequency of application increased, too. Maximum application was in the group who are above 65 years of age. The numbers of cases by over 40% points are 1834 people (69.5%). 1055 of them were men (40%), 779 were women (29.5%). When the cases were evaluated according to the distribution of branches, 976 cases (37%) in musculoskeletal system were identified. The least disability was in Obstetrics and Gynecology with 8 cases (0.3%). Conclusion: Quality of life of the disabled population and the quality of services which are offered to them are closely related to the level of development of the society. In order to improve the life quality of disabled people, regional and country wide data of these people are needed.
