Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to assess the quality of life with the SF-36 questionnaire and evaluate the relationship between this questionnaire and stage of the disease, functional and non-functional parameters and systemic inflammation markers (CRP, tumor necrosis factor-alfa, interleukin-6) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Forty stabile patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were included in the study. In all the patients CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, complete blood count, arterial blood gases, pulmonary function tests, diffusion capacity and 6 minutes walking test were studied. SF-36 life quality survey and “Medical Research Council” (MRC) dyspnea scale were performed. In our study, in patients with severe and very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease the mean values of general health, energy/vitality and mental health, which were the subgroups of SF-36 life quality survey were statistically significantly lower than those of the patients with mild and moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There was a statistically significant negative correlation among the general health, energy/vitality, social function and mental health subgroups of SF-36 life quality survey. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between the energy/vitality, social function and mental health subgroups of SF-36 life quality survey and CRP level. These findings may imply that decrease in quality of life may be secondary to inflammation. However, further studies with larger patient groups and investigating not only CRP, but also the other markers such as TNF- α, IL-6 and IL-8 as the marker of inflammation are necessary about this topic.

Özet

Çalışmamızda kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalıklı hastalarda SF-36 anketi ile yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi ve bu anket ile hastalığın evresi, fonksiyonel ve non-fonksiyonel parametreler ve sistemik inflamasyon markırları (CRP, tümör nekrozis faktör-alfa (TNF-α), interlökin-6 (IL-6)) arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı tanısı alan 40 stabil hasta alındı. Hastalara CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, hemogram, arteriyel kan gazı tetkikleri, solunum fonksiyon testleri, difüzyon kapasitesi, 6 dakika yürüme testi yapıldı. SF-36 yaşam kalitesi anketi ve “Medical Research Council” (MRC) dispne skalası uygulandı. Çalışmamızda ağır ve çok ağır kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalıklı hastalarda, SF-36 yaşam kalitesinin alt gruplarından genel sağlık, enerji/vitalite ve mental sağlık ortalama değerleri hafif ve orta kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalıklı hastalara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde düşük bulundu. SF-36 yaşam kalitesi anketinin alt gruplarından genel sağlık, enerji/vitalite, sosyal fonksiyon ve mental sağlık değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde negatif yönde ilişki saptandı. SF-36 yaşam kalitesi anketinin alt gruplarından enerji/vitalite, sosyal fonksiyon ve mental sağlık ile CRP düzeyi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede negatif yönde bir ilişki bulundu. Bu bulgular yaşam kalitesinin inflamasyona sekonder düştüğünün göstergesi olabilir. Ancak bu konuda daha geniş hasta grupları içeren ve ayrıca inflamasyon göstergesi olarak sadece CRP’nin değil, aynı zamanda diğer inflamasyon markırları olan TNF- α, IL-6, IL-8 düzeylerinin araştırıldığı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
