Emergency departments are centers where there is an intensive inflow and outflow of patients who need to make quick and correct decisions and these decisions must be implemented just as quickly. In our country, emergency departments offer a wide range of medical intervention opportunities to a large number of our citizens due to their easy accessibility. It will not be easy to manage such a dynamic service with unstable and fluctuating admissions. In this study, we aimed to demographically evaluate the emergency department patient applications and with these data, we aimed to support the targeted structuring studies of the emergency department service and to ensure that the system is made better quality. All patients who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to our hospital between 01.02.2020 and 31.12.2023 were included in our retrospective study “Investigation of the patients admitted to 3rd level emergency department”. 171.937 patients were admitted to the emergency department of our hospital between February 1, 2020, and December 31, 2023. Of these patients, 49.3% were male and 50.7% were female. The most common age group for emergency admissions was 19-45 years (43.8%). The highest number of admissions occurred in December, with Monday being the busiest day of the week and the 08:00-16:00 time period being the most frequent for admissions. The cardiology department was the most frequently consulted specialty. By analyzing the data we obtained, it was ensured to contribute to the planning and planning for the effective use of services in emergency services and the solution of problems.
