Özet

Background: "Geriatric patients" are a special group among dermatology patients because of the higher incidences of dermatologic and systemic diseases in this group. We aimed to determine the prevalence of dermatologic diseases, their relationship with age/sex, and hospitalization diagnoses with average times of hospitalization in the aged population.
