Abstract

The objective of our study was to search the correlation between Modified Borg Scale, Visual Analog Scale, Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, Baseline Dyspnea Index, Oxygen Cost Diagram which are used to determine the severity of the dyspnea symptom and to determine the most suitable scale among those. The dyspnea severity with five scales of the 30 patients with COPD has been evaluated. Physical characteristics of cases were recorded. Pulmonary function test and arterial blood gas analysis were performed. Dyspnea severities of the cases were 1.63±2.36, 2.13±2.53, 1.67±1.21, 6.87±3.31, 4.37±2.84 for Modified Borg Scale, Visual Analog Scale, Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, Baseline Dyspnea Index, Oxygen Cost Diagram respectively. It was determined that there was a correletion between age and Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (r=0.36, p=0.05), and Baseline Dyspnea Index (r= -0.40, p=0.03). While it was proven that only %FEV1 was having a correlation with Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (r= -0.42, p=0.02) and Baseline Dyspnea Index (r=0.38, p=0.04). In addition to these determinations Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, Modified Borg Scale and Visual Analog Scale had a strong correlation defining their relationships with each other (p<0.05). Although the study sample was small, it has been observed that Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale and Baseline Dyspnea Index scales were more related with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. This close relationship was based on the fact that, these scales observed dyspnea severity thoroughly in daily activities and they were more understandable for these patients. Referring to this fact the necessity of their widespread usage has been emphasized.

Özet

Çalışmamızın amacı; günümüzde dispne semptomunun şiddetini saptamak için en sık kullanılan Modifiye Borg Skalası, Vizüel Analog Skalası, Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, Baseline Dispne İndeksi, Oksijen Tüketim Diyagramı olmak üzere farklı beş dispne skalasının kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı olan olgularda birbirleriyle korelasyonunu araştırarak, en uygun skalanın belirlenmesidir. Göğüs Hastalıkları servisinde yatan kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı tanısı almış 30 stabil hastanın (18E, 12K), fiziksel ve klinik öyküleri değerlendirilerek, beş skala ile dispne şiddetleri sorgulanmış, solunum fonksiyon testleri ve arteriyel kan gaz analizleri incelenmiştir. Olguların dispne şiddetleri Modifiye Borg Skalası için ort. 1.63±2.36, Vizüel Analog Skalası için ort. 2.13±2.53, Medical Research Council Scale için ort. 1.67±1.21, Baseline Dispne İndeksi için ort. 6.87±3.31, Oksijen Tüketim Diyagramı için 4.37±2.84 olarak tanımlanmıştır. Yaş parametresi ile Medical Research Council Scale’in (r=0.36, p=0.05) ve Baseline Dispne İndeksi’nin (r=-0.40, p=0.03) korele olduğu bulunmuştur. Solunum fonksiyon test parametrelerinden sadece 1. saniyedeki zorlu ekspiratuar volüm yüzdesinin (FEV1%) Medical Research Council Scale (r=-0.42, p=0.02) ve Baseline Dispne ‹ndeksi (r=0.38, p=0.04) ile korele olduğu kanı tlanırken, arteriyel kan gaz analiz değerleri ile hiçbir skala arasında ilişki saptanmamıştır (p>0.05). Skalaların birbirleriyle ilişkisi tanımlandığında Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, Modifiye Borg Skalası ve Vizüel Analog Skalası’nın birbirleriyle güçlü derecede korele olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Olgu sayısının az olmasına rağmen, Medical Research Council Scale ve Baseline Dispne İndeksi skalalarının diğer skalalara göre KOAH hastaları verileriyle daha uyumlu olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonucun bu skalaların dispne şiddetini günlük yaşam aktiviteleri içinde ayrıntılı olarak sorgulamalarından ve hastalar için daha anlaşılabilir olmalarından kaynaklanmış olabileceği savunulmuştur ve kullanımlarının yaygınlaşması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.
