Abstract

Objective: Appendicectomy remains of the most common emergency operations in the United Kingdom. The exact etiologies of appendicitis remain unclear with only potential causes suggested in the literature. Social deprivation and ethnicity have both been demonstrated to influence outcomes following many operations. There are currently no studies evaluating their roles with regards to severity and outcomes following appendicectomy. Material and Methods: Demographic data were retrieved from health records for adult patients who underwent appendicectomy between 2010-2016 within a single NHS trust. To measure social deprivation, Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) rankings were used. Histology reports were reviewed and diagnosis classified into predefined categories: non-inflamed appendix, uncomplicated appendicitis, complicated appendicitis and gangrenous appendicitis. Results: Three thousand four hundred and forty-four patients were identified. Mean age was 37.8 years (range 73 years). Using a generalized linear model, South Asian ethnicity specifically was found to be independently predictive of increased length of stay following appendicectomy (p< 0.001). Amongst South Asian patients, social deprivation was found to be further predictive of longer hospital stay (p= 0.005). Deprivation was found to be a predictor of complicated appendicitis but not of gangrenous appendicitis (p= 0.01). Male gender and age were also independent predictors of positive histology for appendicitis (p< 0.001 and p= 0.021 respectively). Conclusion: This study is the first to report an independent association between South Asian ethnicity and increased length of stay for patients undergoing appendicectomy in a single NHS trust. The associations reported in this study may be a result of differences in the pathophysiology of acute appendicitis or represent inequalities in healthcare provision across ethnic and socioeconomic groups.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Appendektomi halen Birleşik Krallık’ta en sık yapılan acil cerrahi müdahalelerden biridir. Literatürde sadece potansiyel sebepleri belirtilirken apandisitin tam etiyolojisi halen bilinmemektedir. Birçok cerrahi müdalahe sonrasında sonuçları etkileyen iki mekanizma olarak düşük sosyal deney ve etnik kimlik gösterilmiştir. Apendektomi sonrası bu mekanizmaların rolünün ciddiyetini ve sonuçlarını betimleyen herhangi bir çalışma yoktur. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tek bir Ulusal Sağlık Hizmeti bölgesi içerisinde 2010-2016 arasında apendektomi uygulanan yetişkin hastaların sağlık kayıtlarından demografik bilgilere ulaşıldı. Sosyal yoksunluğu ölçmek için Çoklu Yoksunluk İndeksleri (ÇYİ) sıralamaları kullanıldı. Histoloji raporları gözden geçirildi ve tanı önceden belirlenmiş kategorilere ayrıldı: yangılı olmayan apendiks, komplike olmayan apendisit, komplike apendisit ve gangrenöz apendisit. Bulgular: Üç bin dört yüz kırk dört hasta belirlendi. Ortalama yaş 37,8 yıl (aralık 73 yıl) idi. Genel lineer bir model kullanarak Güney Asya etnisitesinin appendektomi sonrası daha uzun hastanede kalışı bağımsız olarak öngören bir parameter olarak bulundu (p< 0,001). Güney Asyalı hastalar arasında sosyal yoksunluk da uzamış hastanede kalış süresinin yordayıcısı olarak bulundu (p= 0,005). Sosyal yoksunluk, gangrenöz apendisitin değil komplike apendisitin yordayıcısı olarak bulundu (p= 0,01). Erkek cinsiyeti ve yaş, pozitif apandisit histolojisi için bağımsız yordayıcılar olarak bulundu (sırasıyla p< 0,001 ve p= 0,021). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, tek bir Ulusal Sağlık Hizmeti bölgesi içerisinde apendektomi uygulanan hastalar da Güney Asya etnisitesi ve uzamış hastanede kalış süresi arasında bağımsız bir ilişki bulan ilk çalışmadır. Bu çalışmada bildirilen ilişkiler akut apendisit patofizyolojisindeki farklılıkların bir sonucu olabilirken etnik ve sosyoekonomik gruplar arasında sağlığa ulaşımda eşitsizlikleri de yansıtıyor olabilir.
