Abstract

AIm: To evaluate the effectiveness of transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) for lumbar radiculopathy with respect to effect of injection levels, gender, and age group. MaterIal and Methods: Hundred-fifty-three consecutive patients who underwent to lumbar TFESI were enrolled. The outcomes were measured by using a visual numeric scale (VNS), NASS and EQ-5D. The relationship between possible outcome predictors and the therapeutic effect were evaluated. Results: All the patients completed the 2nd year follow-up visits. Significant differences were observed between the pre-procedure and post-procedure VNSs, NASS patients’ satisfactions scores and EQ-5D (P < 0.01) except 1st and 2nd year follow-up (P=0.12, P=0.27and P=0.19 respectively). Gender (higher in female patients) showed significant effect to pre-procedure VNS (P=0.04). An increase in the level number was significantly associated with an increase in the 6th month (P=0.005, P=0.004 respectively) and the 1st year (P=0.05, P=0.029 respectively) NASS and EQ-5D. No complication was occurred except discitis in two chronic renal failure patients. ConclusIon: Especially in the patients with severe co-morbidities TFESI is an option to provide higher life quality. The clinical course of the success of the TFESI decreases in one year and becomes stable thereafter. In the patients with immune deficiency, the practitioners should always be aware for an infectious complication.

Özet

AMAÇ: Lomber radikülopatide uygulanan transforaminal epidural steroid enjeksiyonunun (TFESİ) segment sayısı, cinsiyet ve yaş gruplarına göre etkinliğinin araştırılması. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Lomber TFESİ 153 hastaya yapıldı. Hastaların sonuçları numerik ağrı skalası (NAS) , NASS ve EQ-5D ile değerlendirildi. Sonucu etkileyebilecek faktörler ve bunların sonuçlara etkisi incelendi. BULGULAR: Hastaların hepsi 2. yıl takiplerini tamamladı. NAS, NASS memnuniyet skalası ve EQ-5D (P < 0.01) değerlerinde, birinci ve ikinci yıl değerleri hariç (sırasıyla P=0.12, P=0.27 ve P=0.19) işlem öncesi ve sonrası tüm değerlerde anlamlı fark tespit edildi. Cinsiyet (bayan hastalarda daha yüksek) işlem öncesi VNS üzerinde etkiliydi (P=0.04). Segment sayısındaki artışın, altıncı ay ve birinci yıl NASS (sırasıyla P=0.005, P=0.004) ve EQ-5D ( sırasıyla P=0.05, P=0.029) sonuçlarında anlamlı artışa sebep olduğu gözlendi. Kronik böbrek yetmezliğindeki iki hastada gelişen diskitis dışında hastalarda komplikasyon gelişmedi. SONUÇ: Özellikle ağır kronik hastalıkları olan hastalarda TFESİ, hastaların hayat kalitelerinin yükseltilmesinde önemli bir seçenektir. Hastaların faydalanım oranları bir yıl içinde azalırken birinci yıldan itibaren sabit kalmaktadır. Özellikle bağışıklık problemi olan hastalarda, gelişebilecek infeksiyon riski açısından tetikte olmak gerekmektedir.
