Detailed description

The patients' consultation forms referred from the clinics and inpatient services of the Faculty of Medicine, Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University, between January 2013 and January 2022 were included in the current study via Enlil-Hospital Information Management System (Eskişehir, Turkey).
