In this study, we reviewed our experience to determine the outcomes and problems of patients aged > 60 years who had liver transplants. Materials and Methods: Data of recipients aged > 60 years were reviewed retrospectively. We analyzed 16 elderly patients who had liver transplant for chronic liver disease between 2001 and 2014 in our center. Results: In our series, there were 5 women and 11 men between age 60 and 65 years. The mean Child-Pugh score was 7.9 +/- 1.7 and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score was 14.1 +/- 5.1. Primary liver disease was hepatitis B in 9 patients (34.5%), most of them with hepatocellular carcinoma. The other causes of liver failure were hepatitis C (n = 4), alcoholic cirrhosis (n = 2), and cryptogenic cirrhosis (n = 2); 1 patient had both hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus, and 1 patient had both hepatitis B virus and alcoholic cirrhosis. There were 9 patients who had hepatocellular carcinoma. Mortality was observed in 4 patients. The reasons for mortality were sepsis (n=3) and hepatocellular carcinoma (n=1). Conclusions: Liver transplant can be safely performed and has acceptable long-term outcomes in low-risk elderly recipients. Age alone should not be a contraindication for liver transplant in elderly patients.Item The Relationship Between Functional Head Impulse Test And Age In Healthy Individuals(2022) Emekci, Tugba; Erbek, Hatice Seyra; 34120922BACKGROUND: fHIT is an easily applicable test battery that indirectly evaluates the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) from a functional perspective. AIMS/OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to Individuals determine the correlation between age and the percentage of correct answers (%CA) obtained in the functional head impulse test (fHIT) in healthy individuals. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 105 volunteers, 50 males and 55 females, between the ages of 18 and 70 years, participated in the study. A Beon Solution fHIT system (Zero Branco (TV), Italy) was used in the study. RESULTS: In our study, a decrease in the mean %CA was observed in all semicircular canals (SCCs) with increasing age. Between age and mean %CA, a significant negative moderate (-0.311) correlation was observed in lateral SCCs, and a significant negative low (-0.257) correlation was observed in posterior SCCs (p < 0.05). In anterior SCCs, there was no statistically significant relationship between age and mean %CA (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The present study performed in a healthy population will be helpful in terms of making comparisons in studies to be conducted in various vestibular diseases. It will also be a guide for identifying pathological consequences in vestibular diseases.Item A Preliminary Study on the Effect of Age and Gender to the Amplitudes of Cochlear Microphonics Recorded by Click Stimulus in Individuals with Normal Hearing(2022) Guneser, Ozgecan; Alniacik, Asuman; Yigit, Ayse Arzu; Koycu, Alper; Cakmak, Eda; Yanarates, Kursat; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1290-3509; AAF-3650-2021
