Abstract

Objective: To investigate the validity and reliability of the Fournier’s gangrene severity index (FSGI) and Uludag Fournier’s gangrene severity index(UFGSI) scoring systems and their components in outcome prediction for patients with Fournier’s gangrene.Materials and Methods: Recods of 87 patients, who were diagnosed with Fournier’s gangrene in our clinic between March 2005 and May 2016,were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups as survivors and non-survivors. Parameters belonging to the groups werecompared.Results: The overall mortality rate was 13.7%. There was no correlation between mortality and dissemination of disease to the rectum, lowerabdomen or lower extremity (p>0.05). There was a significant difference in renal failure, heart rate, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, calcium andserum bicarbonate (HCO₃) values, and FSGI and UFGSI scores between the survivor and non-survivor groups (p

Özet

Amaç: Fournier’s gangrene severity index (FGSİ) ve Uludag Fournier’s gangrene severity index (UFGSİ) skorlama sistemlerinin ve komponentlerinin Fournier gangrenini değerlendirmedeki geçerliliklerini ve güvenilirliklerini değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Mart 2005 ve Mayıs 2016 tarihleri arasında, kliniğimizde Fournier gangreni tanısı alan 87 hastanın kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastalar hayatta kalanlar ve kalmayanlar olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Her iki gruba ait parametreler birbiriyle karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Tüm hastalardaki mortalite oranı %13,7 idi. Mortalite ile hastalığın rektuma, alt abdomene veya alt ekstremiteye yayılması arasında anlamlı bir bağlantı bulunamadı (p˃0,05). Hayatta kalanlar ve kalmayanlar grupları arasında; böbrek yetmezliği, kalp atım hızı, kan üre nitrojeni, kreatinin, kalsiyum ve serum bikarbonat (HCO₃) değerleriyle birlikte FGSİ ve UFGSİ skorlarında anlamlı bir farklılık vardı (p˂0,05). Eşik değer 9 olarak kabul edildiğinde; FGSİ’nin mortalite için pozitif ve negatif prediktivitesi sırasıyla %77,8 ve %93,6; UFGSİ’nin ise sırasıyla %42,9 ve %95,5 olarak hesaplandı. Sonuç: FGSİ ve UFGSİ, Fournier gangreni hastalarının prognozunu öngörmek, özellikle de hastalığın mortalitesinin negatif prediktivitesini hesaplamak için çok başarılı skorlama sistemleridir. Bu bilgiler ışığında, bazı hastalara ilk aşamada daha agresif tedaviler başlamak akıllıca bir yaklaşım olacaktır.
