Abstract

Chronic Fatigue Sydrome (CFS) is a chronic, disabling, musculoskeletal system illness which lasts more than six months with fatigue and musculoskeletal pain, psychiatric symptoms and mostly occured in women. Depression is a psychiatric disorder which is often seen with CFS. The objective of this study was to investigate depression levels in premenapousal female patients with CFS; and to define its&#8217; relation with symptomatic features and number of tender points acount. Sixty one (61) premenapousal female patients identified with CFS and thirty five (35) healthy women were taken in this study according to Atlanta CDC (Center for Disease and Control) criteria in 1994. Beck depression scales of these two groups were measured and patients were examined according to their symptomatic features, tender points and widespread musculoskeletal aching. In our study, symptomatic features, Beck scores and number of tender points were higher in the patient group comparing with control group (p<0.001). There were significant differences between patients who had Beck scores &#8805;17 and <17 in number of tender points, arthralgia and sleep disturbences(p<0.05 and p<0.01). There were significant correlation between Beck scores and tender point account, sleep disturbences, sore throat, arthralgia and muscle weakness (p<0.001 ve p<0.05 ). Our study indicates that patients with CFS have high depression level and tender point count. Patients with high depression level have higher tender point count, sleep disturbences and arthralgia rates compared patients with low depression level. Depression and fibromyalgia should be taken into consideration in diagnosis and managing of CFS.

Özet

Kronik yorgunluk sendromu, 6 aydan fazla süren yorgunluk ile beraber kas-iskelet ağrıları ve psikiyatrik bulguların da eşlik ettiği, bayanlarda daha sık görülebilen, kronik, sakatlayıcı bir kas- iskelet sistemi hastalığıdır. KYS’na sık eşlik edebilen psikiyatrik bozuklukların başında depresyon gelir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, KYS’li premenapozal kadın hastaların depresyon düzeylerini değerlendirmek ve bu düzeylerin klinik bulgularla ilişkisini araştırmaktı. Atlanta 1994 CDC (Center for Disease Control) tanı kriterlerine göre Kronik Yorgunluk Sendromu tanısı konan 61 premenapozal kadın hasta ile 35 sağlıklı kadın çalışmaya alındı. Her iki grubun Beck depresyon skalaları ölçüldü; semptomatik özellikleri, yaygın vücut ağrısı ve hassas nokta yönünden muayene edildi. Çalışmamızda, hasta grubunda semptomatik özellikler, Beck skoru ve hassas nokta sayısı kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek tespit edildi(p<0.001). Hasta grubunda Beck skoru 17 ve üstünde olanlarla 17’nin altında olan gruplar arasında; hassas nokta sayısı, artralji ve uyku düzensizliği açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede fark saptandı (p<0.05 ve p<0.01). Ayrıca Beck skorlarıyla hassas nokta sayısı, boğaz ağrısı, artralji, kas zaafı ve uyku düzensizliği arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyon bulundu (p<0.001 ve p<0.05 ). Çalışmamız KYS’lu hastalarda depresyon düzeylerinin yükseldiğini ve hassas nokta sayısı arttığını göstermektedir. Depresyon düzeyi yüksek olan hastalarda düşük olanlara göre hassas nokta sayısı, uyku düzensizliği ve artralji oranları artmaktadır. KYS’nun tanısında ve tedavisinin planlanmasında depresyon ve fibromyalji varlığı göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
