Neurosurgical and orthopedic outcomes of emergency patients admitted after the Pazarcık earthquake: Focus on crush syndrome incidence and associated morbidity.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study retrospectively evaluates the clinical outcomes of patients admitted to our hospital following the Pazarcık earthquake on February 6, 2023. It specifically focuses on patients requiring multidisciplinary follow-up care in orthopedics and neurosurgery clinics, assessing the nature and severity of their injuries.
methodsWe included patients admitted under the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-35 code as a result of the earthquake centered in the Pazarcık district of Kahramanmaraş province.
resultsA total of 449 patients were admitted: 265 (59%) were discharged as outpatients, while 184 (41%) required hospitalization. Of the hospitalized patients, 45.7% required surgery, with 51.2% of procedures performed by orthopedic surgeons, 27.4% by neurosurgeons, and 19% involving both orthopedics and plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. Compartment syndrome was documented in 14.7% of hospitalized patients, and crush syndrome in 46.7%. Additionally, 13% of patients required physical therapy. The overall mortality rate was 7.1%, significantly higher among patients with compartment syndrome (p<0.001) and crush syndrome (p=0.001), but lower in those who underwent surgery (p=0.023).
conclusionThis evaluation reveals that the Pazarcık earthquake caused significant morbidity, with high incidences of crush and compartment syndromes requiring urgent surgical intervention. These findings underscore the need for improved disaster preparedness and effective treatment protocols to address the unique challenges posed by such catastrophic events.
