Abstract

Objective: High prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in the glaucoma patients was shown in recent studies. In our prospective study we aimed to compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) and the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) in patients with HP positive and negative. Methods: In 91 patients with gastritis HP was investigated by urea breath test (UBT) and biopsy sample culture Following the full ophthalmologic examination the patients’ IOP was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry and RNFLT was measured by spectral optic coherence tomography. The patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics were compared with the &#967;² test for categorical variables and with the Mann Whitney U test for continuous variables. Results: Of the 90 patients who meet the including criteria, HP was detected in 74 patients (27 male, 47 female) positive, and in 16 patients (7 male, 9 female) negative. Median (minimum-maximum) age values were 46 (18-79) in HP positive group and 51 (18-67) in HP negative group. One hundred forty seven eyes in 74 HP positive patients and 31 eyes in 16 HP negative patients included in the study. Median IOP values were determined 14 (7-21) mmHg in HP positive group and 14 (8-18) mmHg in HP negative group. The measurements of RNFLT in superior, temporal, inferior and nasal quadrants found to be respectively 122(98-165), 68(50-101), 135(93-188), 79(51-120) micron in HP positive group and 120(94-161), 67(43-104), 129(94-166), 76(50- 97) micron in HP negative group. No statistically significant difference was found when compared IOP and RNFLT measurements between the two groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: In this study found that the IOP and RNFLT measurements of HP positive group was not show statistically significant difference compared with HP negative group. In a large case series, randomized, case-controlled, histologic and serologic studies should be done to show the relationship between HP and glaucoma.

Özet

Amaç: Glokom olgularında Helikobakter pilori (HP) prevalansının yüksek olduğu geçmiş çalışmalarda gösterilmiştir. Prospektif çalışmamızda HP pozitif ve negatif olguların göz içi basınç (GİB) ve retina sinir lifi tabakası kalınlık (RSLTK) ölçümlerini karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntemler: Gastrit bulguları olan 91 hastada HP varlığı üre nefes testi veya gastrik biyopsi ile araştırıldı. Hastaların tam oftalmolojik muayeneleri takiben GİBı Goldmann aplanasyon tonometresi ve RSLTKı spektral optik koherens tomografi ile ölçüldü. Hastaların demografik ve klinik özellikleri kategorik değişkenler için χ² testi ve sürekli de- ğişkenler için Mann Whitney U testi ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışma kriterlerine uyan 74 hastada (27 erkek, 47 kadın) HP pozitif ve 16 hastada (7 erkek, 9 kadın) ise HP negatif olarak saptandı. Ortanca (minimum-maksium) yaş değerleri HP pozitif grup için 46 (18-79) ve HP negatif grup için 51 (18-67) idi. HP pozitif 74 hastanın 147 gözü ve HP negatif 16 hastanın 31 gözü çalışmaya dahil edildi. GİB ortanca değerleri HP pozitif grupta 14 (7-21) mmHg ve HP negatif grupta 14 (8-18) mmHg olarak saptandı. Üst, temporal, alt ve nazal kadranlarda ölçülen RSLTKların ortanca değerleri HP pozitif grupta sırasıyla 122(98- 165), 68(50-101), 135(93-188), 79(51-120) mikron ve HP negatif grupta ise sırasıyla 120(94-161), 67(43-104), 129(94-166), 76(50-97) mikron olarak bulundu. İki grup arasında GİB ve RSLTK ölçümleri karşılaştırıldığında aralarında istatiksel anlamlı fark olmadığı görüldü (p>0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada HP pozitif olguların GİB ve RSLTK ölçümlerinin HP negatif olgu grubuna göre anlamlı farklılık göstermediği bulundu. Glokom ile HP arasında ilişki olduğunu göstermek için geniş olgu serilerinde randomize vaka kontrollü histolojik ve serolojik çalışmaların yapılması gerekmektedir.
