Özet
Aim: Our hypothesis was that individuals who suffer from penetrating foreign body injuries from work-related accidents are more likely to exhibit attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms than those without such a history. The purpose of this study was to reveal whether there is a difference in ADHD diagnosis between patients who suffered penetrating foreign body injuries in a work accident and health volunteers who have not had a work accident before. Methods: This study was designed as a retrospective, controlled, comparative study. Between January 2023 and December 2023, 47 patients who underwent surgery due to penetrating foreign body injury and 48 control group patients who were actively working and had no previous penetrating foreign body injury were included in the study. Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder in patients was evaluated with the adult ADHD self-report scale version 1.1 (ASRS-v1.1) test administered by a specialist psychiatrist. Results: The study included 95 patients-42 women and 53 men, with an average age of 35.1±11.5 in the patient group and 38.4±13.5 in the control group. When attention deficit subtype scores and ASRS-v1.1 total scores were examined, a statistically significant difference was found such that the patient group had higher scores than the control group in all three scoring systems. Conclusion: This retrospective randomized controlled study set forth a broader perspective on a frequently seen trauma in the orthopedic emergency department. The ASRS-v1.1 test can be used as a tool to prevent further work-related accidents in work groups that use sharp objects and require maintaining attention.
