    Objective: To investigate the influence of patient's socio-demographic features on patient's satisfaction with primary health care (PHC) services in the Turkish population Design: Cross-sectional and population-based study Settings: Forty-five family health centers from 15 cities throughout Turkey Subjects: One thousand two hundred and ten patients were randomly selected. The self-administered study survey was applied. Main Outcome Measures: Association between patients' sociodemographic features and patient satisfaction with primary care settings Results: The mean age of subjects was 37.4 +/- 14.7 years. When mean total score for incisions of sociodemographic features was evaluated, it was observed that the patient satisfaction level was high in female than male patients, married than unmarried patients, patients with high income than low income, in employed and unemployed than officers (p = 0.028, p = 0.043, p = 0.001, and p = 0.006, respectively). The patients with high income level had significantly higher level of satisfaction than those with low income in all domains of patient satisfaction. Female patients were more satisfied with communication, medical care, and support and information domains. Married patients were more satisfied with communication and medical care. The officers were less satisfied than other status of occupation. The patients with university level of education were more satisfied than those with middle and high school level of education. Conclusion: Income level, marital and occupational status of patient's sociodemographic features had significant influence on satisfaction levels in the Turkish population

    Normal range of mean platelet volume in healthy subjects: Insight from a large epidemiologic study
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011) Demirin, Hilmi; Özhan, Hakan; Uçgun, Taner; Celer, Ahmet; Bulur, Şule; Çil, Habib; Yıldırım, Hayriye Ak
    Aim: Mean platelet volume (MPV) in the healthy population has not been studied before. Therefore, the aim of the study was to measure MPV in normal subjects in a large cohort of Turkish adults. Methods: A total of 2298 subjects with a mean age of 50 (age range 18 to 92) were interviewed. Subjects who had smoking habit, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, chronic use of any drugs including antiplatelets, heavy drinkers, metabolic syndrome, ejection fraction < 55%, creatinine > 1.4 in men and > 1.1 in women, abnormal liver function tests and an abnormal TSH were excluded in a in a stepwise manner. Complete blood counts were done on the same day within 6 hours by a CELL-DYN 3700 SL analyzer (Abbott Diagnostics). Results: Three hundred twenty-six participants (204 females (63%) and 122 males (37%) with a mean age of 41 +/- 16) constituted the final healthy cohort. Mean MPV of the cohort was 8.9 +/- 1.4 fL. There was no significant difference among age groups regarding MPV. Conclusion: Ninety-five percent of the individuals had a MPV between 7.2 and 11.7 fL. A patient having a MPV beyond this range should be evaluated carefully especially for occlusive arterial diseases. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
