Abstract
Objective: We aimed to investigate the causes of long hospital stay in adult patients with alcohol use disorder inpatient treatment.
Method: This is a retrospective descriptive study. The data of the study included the records of patients treated in the alcohol and drug addiction clinic of Gazi University Hospital between 2005 and 2016. The records of 1543 patients with alcohol dependence were reached. Only the first hospitalization data of patients with recurrent admission were included in the analysis. As a result, the records of 906 patients were analyzed. ICD-10 classification was used as the diagnostic system.
Results: The mean age of the study population was 51.95±11.54 years and 89.4% (n = 810) were male. Recurrent hospitalization was 26.7% (n = 242), medical comorbidity 5% (n = 45), and psychiatric comorbidity 28% (n = 254). In the logistic regression analysis evaluating the duration of hospitalization, the presence of bipolar affective disorder (BDD) increased the duration of hospitalization by 3.4 times (OR=3,457), and the presence of depression extended the duration of hospitalization by 1.8 times (OR=1,854). The length of hospital stay of those hospitalized between 2014-2016 was 12 times (OR=0,082) shorter than those hospitalized between 2005-2007.
Conclusion: Some clinical variables (age, BDD and depression) have been shown to affect the duration of hospitalization in alcohol dependence. Together with these clinical variables, a non-clinical variable, such as the year of hospitalization, was found to affect the length of hospital stay 12-fold. Moreover, this effect can increase up to 34 times.

Abstract
Amaç: Alkol kullanım bozukluğu olan yatarak tedavi gören erişkin hastalarda uzun süre hastanede kalış nedenlerini araştırmayı amaçladık.
Yöntem: Bu retrospektif tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın verileri, 2005-2016 yılları arasında Gazi Üniversitesi Hastanesi alkol ve uyuşturucu bağımlılığı kliniğinde tedavi edilen hastaların kayıtlarını içermektedir. Alkol bağımlılığı olan 1543 hastanın kayıtlarına ulaşılmıştır. Tekrarlayan başvuruları olan hastaların sadece ilk yatış verileri analize dahil edildi. Sonuç olarak 906 hastanın kayıtları analiz edildi. Tanı sistemi olarak ICD-10 sınıflaması kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışma popülasyonunun ortalama yaşı 51.95 ± 11.54 yıl idi ve% 89.4'ü (n = 810) erkekti. Tekrarlayan hastaneye yatış% 26.7 (n = 242), tıbbi eştanı% 5 (n = 45) ve psikiyatrik eştanı% 28 (n = 254) idi. Hastanede yatış süresini değerlendiren lojistik regresyon analizinde bipolar affektif bozukluğun (BDD) varlığı hastanede yatış süresini 3,4 kat (OR=3,457) arttırırken, depresyonun varlığı hastanede yatış süresini 1,8 kat (OR=1,854) artırdı. 2014-2016 yılları arasında hastaneye yatırılanların hastanede kalış süresi 2005-2007 yılları arasında hastaneye yatırılanlardan 12 kat (OR=0,082) daha kısaydı.
Sonuç: Bazı klinik değişkenlerin (yaş, BDD ve depresyon) alkol bağımlılığında yatış süresini etkilediği gösterilmiştir. Bu klinik değişkenlerle birlikte, hastaneye yatış yılı gibi klinik olmayan bir değişkenin hastanede kalış süresini 12 kat etkilediği bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, bu etki 34 kata kadar artabilir.
