Abstract

Background: Accurate identification of the symptom of dyspnea in the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is curicial in planning of medical treatment and delivering of effective care. Objectives: Our aims were to compare the Modifiye Borg Scale (MBS), Medical Research Council Scale (MRCS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in the assessment of the severity of dyspnea in patients with COPD and to evaluate clinic utilization of these scales. Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 50 patients with COPD who are in Zonguldak Uzunmehmet Chest and Occupational Diseases Hospital, who are selected by random sampling, and who agreed to participate in the study. The patient’s pulmonary function tests and arterial blood gas analysis has been performed and their dyspnea severity has been evaluated using three different dyspnea scales. Results: The mean dyspnea severities measured by MBS, MRCS and VAS were 4.20 ± 2.10, 2.48 ± 1.05, 5.30 ± 2.79 respectively. There was significant correlation the value of FEV1/FVC which is the parameters of pulmonary function tests with MBS (r = -.42, p = .002) and VAS (r = -.34, p = .016); FEV1% and MRCS (r = -.31, p = .025); PaO2 which is the parameters of arterial blood gas analysis with MBS (r = -.47, p = .000), VAS (r = -.49, p = .000), MRCS (r = -.46, p = .001); SaO2 with the value of MBS (r = -.46, p = .001), VAS (r = -.45, p = .001) and MRCS (r = -.45, p = .001). It was found that MBS, MRCS and VAS were strongly correlated with each other. Conclusion: Today, the most commonly used to determine the severity of dyspnea, MBS, MRCS and VAS scales are related scales to each other.

Özet

Giriş: Kronik Obstrüktif Akciğer Hastalığı (KOAH)’nda dispne semptomunun doğru olarak tanımlanması tıbbi tedavinin planlanması ve etkili bakımın verilmesinde önemli bir unsurdur. Amaç: Bu çalışma, KOAH’lı hastalarda dispnenin şiddetinin değerlendirilmesinde Modifiye Borg Skalası (MBS), Medical Research Council Scale (MRCS) ve Görsel Kıyaslama Ölçeği (GKÖ)’ni karşılaştırmak ve ölçeklerin klinik kullanımını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini, Zonguldak Uzunmehmet Göğüs ve Meslek Hastalıkları Hastanesi’nde KOAH tanısı alan, olasılıksız örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen ve araştırmayı katılmayı kabul eden 50 hasta oluşturdu. Hastaların solunum fonksiyon testleri, arteriyel kan gazı analizleri yapıldı ve üç farklı dispne ölçeği ile dispne şiddetleri sorgulandı. Bulgular: Hastaların dispne şiddetleri; MBS ortalaması 4.20 ± 2.10, MRCS ortalaması 2.48 ± 1.05, GKÖ ortalaması ise 5.30 ± 2.79 olarak saptandı. Solunum fonksiyon testi parametrelerinden FEV1/FVC değeri ile MBS (r = -.42, p = .002) ve GKÖ (r = -.34, p = .016), FEV1% değeri ile MRCS (r = -.31, p = .025) arasında, kan gazı analizi parametrelerinden PaO2 değeri ile MBS (r = -.47, p = .000), GKÖ (r = -.49, p = .000), MRCS (r = -.46, p = .001), SaO2 değeri ile MBS (r = -.46, p = .001), GKÖ (r = -.45, p = .001) ve MRCS (r = -.45, p = .001) arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu. MBS, MRCS ve GKÖ’nin birbirleriyle güçlü derecede ilişkili olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Günümüzde dispne şiddetini saptamak için en sık kullanılan; MBS, MRCS ve GKÖ birbirleriyle ilişkili ölçeklerdir.
