Materials and Methods: The study included individuals who had suffered crush injuries after the 2023 Kahramanmara\u015f earthquakes and were identified as having an acute kidney injury (AKI). Patients with an AKI were divided into two groups based on age: those under 18 years and those over 18 years. A comparative analysis was conducted between the mortality and morbidity rates of patients who underwent fasciotomy and those who did not. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), sepsis, and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have all been identified as contributors to morbidity. Results: The study was conducted with a total of 40 patients (21 males and 19 females) aged between 4 and 83 years. A total of 21 patients underwent fasciotomy, and the patients underwent varying numbers of fasciotomy, ranging from 0 to 11. The mortality rate was 12.5%, corresponding to five adult patients. No instances of mortality were reported in the paediatric cohort. The application of fasciotomy in instances of crush-induced AKI did not result in elevated levels of mortality in either the paediatric or adult demographic. Within the adult population, a substantial difference in the duration of dialysis was observed between individuals who underwent fasciotomy and those who did not. A statistically significant increase in the number of fasciotomy incisions was observed in patients diagnosed with sepsis compared with those without sepsis. The study found a significant positive correlation between the number of fasciotomy incisions and dialysis days. Conclusions: Neither adult nor paediatric patients with crush-induced AKI showed an increased risk of death after fasciotomy. The number of fasciotomy incisions significantly correlated with the development of sepsis. Despite experiencing delays in hospital admission for paediatric patients, the incidence of both crush syndrome and mortality rates among children remained relatively low.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59091593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,4]],"date-time":"2023-09-04T02:14:50Z","timestamp":1693793690000},"page":"1593","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Comparative Analysis of Fasciotomy Results in Children and Adults Affected by Crush-Induced Acute Kidney Injury following the Kahramanmara\u015f Earthquakes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8281-9885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mustafa","family":"Yal\u0131n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Elaz\u0131\u011f Fethi Sekin City Hospital, Elaz\u0131\u011f 23050, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1715-3471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatih","family":"G\u00f6lgelio\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Elaz\u0131\u011f Fethi Sekin City Hospital, Elaz\u0131\u011f 23050, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.5152\/TurkArchPediatr.2023.160222","article-title":"Earthquake in Turkey: Disasters and Children","volume":"58","author":"Canpolat","year":"2023","journal-title":"Turk.
