Our study included fifty-three patients. Median age was 65.7 ±14,68 years and 63.3% of the patients were over the age of 65. Number of female patients was 2 times as many as the number of male patients. Cases most frequently had an ASA score of 3 (64.3%). The most common comorbid diseases were hypertension (50.9%) and atherosclerotic heart disease (49%). The most frequently used anticoagulant was warfarin (30.1%) which was most often used due to heart diseases (54.7%). Clinical and demographic features of the patients are outlined in (Table 2)
Average International Normalized Ratio (INR) during admission to the hospital was 1.93+ 1.18 and the hemoglobin value was 11.2 gr/dl. Laboratory parameters are outlined in (Table 3)
The average hematoma diameter was 74 mm and the most common stage was Type 1 (75.6%). Distribution of the localization of the hematoma was equal in the right and left sides of the abdomen, and the hematoma displayed bilateral localization in 22.6% of the patients. Diameter, staging, and localization details of the hematoma are outlined in (Table 4)
90.6% of the patients were followed up conservatively. Average duration of hospital stay was 15.1 days and mortality developed in 8 patients during their hospital stay. Follow-up and treatment results are outlined in (Table 5)
