Abstract

Aim There are a lot of risk factors which effect occurence of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). We aimed to research through case-control study the effect of nicotine dependence level (NDL) and educational level on the occurence of lower respiratory tract infections in raw recruits. Material and Methods This study was performed in a military unit in the six-month period. The patients with LRTI were the case group while those who didn’t have it were the control group. Both case group and control group were asked to complete the questionnaire which investigated their educational level and smoking status. The smoking group was additionally applied the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). Results The risk of LRTIs development was lower in primary school, high school and university group than uneducated group (OR=0.55 %95 CI 0.32-0.96, OR=0.48 %95 CI 0.29-0.78, OR=0.61 %95 CI 0.38-0.98, respectively). When LRTIs development risks were compared in terms of nicotine dependence status, LRTIs development risk was significantly higher in low nicotine dependent and in high nicotine dependent smokers than the nonsmokers (OR=1.47, 95% CI 1.22-1.77, OR=1.69, 95% CI 1.34-2.13, respectively). Conclusions Educational level and NDL effects occurence of LRTI. Probability of LRTI occurrence is lower in individuals with high school and university education than uneducated and primary school education. Likewise, NDL is an independent risk factor associated with smoking for LRTI. In the individuals with high NDL, the risk of LRTI increases. According to this knowledge, increasing educational level up to high school education in addition to carrying out antismoking campaigns reduces incidence of LRTI in young individuals.

Özet

Amaç Alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu gelişimini etkileyen birçok faktör vardır. Bu çalışma ile genç askerler arasında eğitim durumu ve nikotin bağımlılık düzeyinin alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu (ASYE) gelişimi üzerine etkisi olgu-kontrol çalışması ile araştırıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler Çalışma altı aylık dönemde bir askeri birlikte yapıldı. ASYE geçiren grup olgu ve ASYE geçirmeyen grup kontrol grubu olarak alındı. Hem olgu grubunun hem de kontrol grubunun eğitim ve sigara içme durumları, bir anket formu ile belirlendi. Sigara içen gruba ayrıca Fagerstrom nikotin bağımlılık testi (FNBT) uygulandı. Bulgular ASYE gelişme riski üniversite, lise ve ilköğretim grubunda eğitimsiz gruba göre anlamlı olarak daha düşük bulundu (sırasıyla, OR=0.55 %95 CI 0.32- 0.96, OR=0.48 %95 CI 0.29-0.78, OR=0.61 %95 CI 0.38-0.98). ASYE gelişme riski nikotin bağımlılık düzeyine (NBD) göre karşılaştırıldığında, risk, sigara içmeyenlere göre, hem düşük hem de yüksek nikotin bağımlı grupta anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu (sırasıyla OR=1.47, 95% CI 1.22-1.77, OR=1.69, 95% CI 1.34-2.13). Sonuç Eğitim düzeyi ve nikotin bağımlılığı ASYE gelişimini etkilemektedir. Lise ve üniversite mezunu bireylerde ASYE görülme olasılığı, eğitimsiz ve ilköğretim mezunlarına göre daha düşüktür. Yine nikotin bağımlılığı ASYE gelişiminde sigara içme ile birlikte olan önemli bir risk faktörüdür. NBD arttıkça ASYE gelişim riski artmaktadır. Bu bilgilerden hareketle, sigara karşıtı kampanyaların yapılması yanı sıra eğitim düzeyinin en az liseye kadar çıkarılması genç bireylerde ASYE sıklığını azaltacaktır.
