Abstract

Aim: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) in abdominal surgeons is an important factor that prolongs the hospitalization period as well as is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Preoperative evaluation is an important part of estimating complications and taking precautions. However, pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases, and exercise tests are used in the evaluation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the importance of quality of life in predicting PPC different from other evaluation parameters. Patients and Methods: 124 patients who were assigned for various elective abdominal procedures in department of surgery; were included in the study. Notthingham health profile (NHP) scores 1 week prior to the surgery were calculated for each patient and were compared to the pulmonary complications (PPC) that evolved in the postoperative 48th hour. Results: In patients with PPC mean NHP score was 125,71 + 114,09 and in patients without PPC the score was found to be 63,5 + 72,75. The difference among the groups was statistically significant. The patients were distributed in to 4 groups according to their score and in group 4 (>150) pulmonary complication rate was 72,7% (p<0.001). Patients were classified according to their NHP scores as group1 (0-49,9), group-2 (50,0-99,9), group-3 (100-149,9) and group-4 (150 points).Furthermore; in group-4; pulmonary complication frequency was 7,6 times greater than the others. Conclusion: In the present study it is found that patients with a NHP score greater than 150 encountered complications more frequently. Therefore; it can be assumed that NHP scoring system can be used in preoperative evaluation and postoperative risk prediction.

Özet

Amaç: Abdominal cerrahilerde postoperatif pulmoner komplikasyonlar (PPK), morbitide ve mortalitenin önemli bir nedenidir. Ayrıca hastanede yatış süresini uzatan önemli bir faktördür. Preoperatif değerlendirme, komplikasyonların tahmin edilmesinde ve önlem alınmasında önemli bir yer oluşturmaktadır. Değerlendirme sıklıkla öykü, fizik muayene, akciğer grafisi, solunum fonksiyon testleri, gerekli olgularda arteriyel kan gazı, ve egzersiz testleri ile yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, diğer değerlendirme parametrelerinden farklı olarak PPK’ı öngörmede yaşam kalitesinin önemini araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Çalışmamıza Genel Cerrahi AD’da elektif batın cerrahisi yapılacak olan 124 hasta alınmıştır. Hastalar ameliyat öncesi 1 haftalık dönemde değerlendirilmiş ve nottingham sağlık profili (NSP) skoru hesaplanmıştır. Postoperatif 48.saat sonrasında semptomlar ve komplikasyonlar incelenerek, preoperatif NSP değerleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular PPK görülen hastalarda NSP-total puanı ort. 125,71  114,09 puan ve görülmeyenlerde ort. 63,65  72,75 puandı (p=0.002). Fiziksel mobilite, ağrı, enerji düzeyi, duygusal reaksiyon, uyku durumu, ve sosyal izolasyon düzeylerine göre yapılan değerlendirmede emosyonel durum haricinde diğer tüm puanlar komplikasyon görülen hastalarda daha yüksek saptandı. Mortalite görülen hastaların ort. 209,31  130,74 puan olduğu görüldü. Hastalar NSP puanlarına göre grup-1 (0-49,9), grup-2 (50,0-99,9), grup-3 (100-149,9) ve grup-4 (>150 puan) olarak sınıflandırıldı. Buna göre grup-4 olan hastalarda %72,7 pulmoner komplikasyon görüldü (p<0.001). Yine 150 puan ve üzeri olan hastalarda solunumsal komplikasyonlar 7,6 kat, solunum dışı komplikasyonlar ise 6,7 kat artmış bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışmamız, hastaların NSP puanı 150 ve üzerinde olması durumunda komplikasyonların daha fazla olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca NSP sağ kalımı da iyi predikte etmiştir. Bu sonuçlar ile NSP’nin preoperatif risk değerlendirmede yararlı olabileceği düşünülmüştür.
