Abstract

Aims. Acute cholecystitis is one of the most common emergencies of general surgery. Although there is an increase in the incidence of acute cholecystitis in the summer season when the temperature increases, its cause is not fully understood. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between acute cholecystitis and temperature. Material and Methods: 271 patients admitted to the general surgery service in 2021 were included in this study. Patient data were obtained retrospectively from patient files and data from national centers were used for meteorological data. Conformity of continuous variables to normal distribution was evaluated using visual and analytical methods. Results: According to the percentage distribution of cases, acute cholecystitis was most common in summer and least in winter. A very strong positive correlation was found between monthly mean temperature values and monthly incidence of acute cholecystitis (correlation coefficient: r= 0.759 and p=0.004). Conclusions: The incidence of acute cholecystitis also increases with increasing ambient temperature, and this is important in terms of planning health services.

Özet

Amaç: Akut kolesistit genel cerrahinin en sık görülen acillerinden biridir.Sıcaklığın arttığı yaz mevsiminde akut kolesistit insidansında bir atış olmasına rağmen nedeni tam olarak anlaşılamamıştır.Bu çalışmadaki amaç akut kolesistit ve sıcaklık arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya 2021 yılında genel cerrahi servisine başvuran 271 hasta dahil edildi. Hasta verileri retrospektif olarak hasta dosyalarından elde edildi ve meteorolojik veriler için ulusal merkezlerden alınan veriler kullanıldı. Sürekli değişkenlerin normal dağılıma uygunluğu görsel ve analitik yöntemlerle değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Olguların yüzde dağılımına göre akut kolesistit en sık yaz aylarında, en az ise kış aylarında görüldü. Aylık ortalama sıcaklık değerleri ile aylık akut kolesistit insidansı arasında çok güçlü bir pozitif korelasyon bulundu (korelasyon katsayısı: r= 0.759 ve p=0.004). Sonuç: Ortam sıcaklığı arttıkça akut kolesistit insidansı da artmaktadır ve bu durum sağlık hizmetlerinin planlanması açısından önemlidir.
