Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In this study we aimed to evaluate the rates of azoospermia in the local population/refugee patient groups and parameters that may have an effect who were applied to our hospital with male infertility. MATERIAL and METHODS: We evaluated 626 patients with male infertility who were diagnosed with azoospermia between January 2017 and July 2018 retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups as local population and refugees. Refugees were also divided as campers and living outside the camps. Age, serum follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, total testosterone levels, scrotal ultrasonography (usg) results, presence of varicocele and varicocelectomy operation were evaluated. RESULTS: The number of azoospermic patients was 12.4% (377) in local population, this number was 17.4% (249) in refugees. The number of azoospermic patients was significantly higher in the refugee patient group compared to the local population group (p<0.05). Although there was a significant difference in terms of azoospermia among refugee patient groups living outside the camps and in the camps, this difference was not statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between the ratio of hormone values, scrotal USG results, varicocele presence and varicocelectomy operation in the native population and refugee patient group. CONCLUSION: In our study, we found that azoospermic patients were higher than local population in refugee patient group and it was statistically significant. Although the independent variables were similar in the refugees, the high rates of azoospermia were thought to be due to factors such as nutrition, shelter and stress.

Özet

AMAÇ: Hastanemize erkek infertilitesi şikayetiyle başvuran yerli popü-lasyon/mülteci hasta gruplarında saptanan azospermi oranları ve buna etki etmesi olası faktörler değerlendirildi. GEREÇ ve YÖNTEM: Kliniğimizde Ocak 2017 ile Temmuz 2018 yılla-rı arasında erkek infertilitesi nedeniyle başvuran ve azospermi saptanan 626 hasta retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Çalışmaya alınan hasta-lar yerli popülasyon ve mülteciler olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Mülteciler de kampta yaşayanlar ve kamp dışında yaşayanlar olarak ayrıca değer-lendirildi. Hastaların yaş, serum Folikül stimülan hormon, Lüteinizan hormon, total Testosteron düzeyleri, skrotal ultrasonografi sonuçları, varikosel varlığı ve varikoselektomi operasyonu bilgileri değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: Yerli popülasyonda azospermik hasta sayısı %12,4 (377) iken mültecilerde bu sayı %17,4 (249) idi. Azospermik hasta sayısı mül-teci hasta grubunda yerli popülasyon grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek saptandı (p<0,05). Kamp dışında ve kampta yaşayan mülteci hasta grupları arasından azospermi açısından sayısal olarak belirgin fark olmasına rağmen bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi. Yerli popülasyon ve mülteci hasta grubunda hormon değerleri, skrotal USG bulguları, varikosel varlığı ve varikoselektomi operasyonu geçirme oranları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlenmedi. SONUÇ: Çalışmamızda azospermik hastaların mülteci hasta grubunda yerli popülasyona göre daha fazla oranda görülmesi istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olduğu görüldü. Mültecilerde bağımsız değişkenlerin benzer olmasına rağmen azospermi oranlarının yüksek olmasının beslenme, barınma ve strese bağlı olduğu düşünüldü.
