Abstract

Aim: We aimed to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori and associated risk factors in personnel of an academic anaesthesiology department.Materials and Methods: After obtaining informed consent 37 anaesthesia personnel were studied, blood sample were obtained and each participants completed a questionnaire describing baseline demographics including age, gender, time in clinical practice (1-5 years, 5-15 years, over 15 years), history of dyspepsia, use of H2 receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors during the previous month. The presence of Ig G antibodies against Helicobacter pylori was determined by using the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method.Results: Twenty-one physicians and 16 anaesthesia technicians were studied. Sixteen subjects of the physicians (76 %) and 13 of the anaesthesia technicians (81 %) had antibodies to Helicobacter pylori (p>0.05). No association could be shown between seropositivity for Helicobacter pylori and epidemiologic factors. Seropositivity for Helicobacter pylori were 80 %, 75 %, and 67 % in physicians group with 1 to 5 years, 5 to 15 years and over 15 years of occupational exposure, respectively. Seropositivity in the anaesthesia technicians group were 73 %, 100 %, and 100 % with 1 to 5 years, 5 to 15 years and over 15 years of experience, respectively (p>0.05).Conclusion: This study showed the importance of Helicobacter pylori infection and vector carriage. In addition to this, it proved that these are not related with epidemiologic risk factors in anaesthesia personnel.

Özet

Amaç: Akademik anesteziyoloji kliniği çalışanlarında Helicobacter pylori prevalansını ve ilişkili olabilecek epidemiyolojik faktörleri saptamayı amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: Onayları alındıktan sonra 37 anesteziyoloji çalışanı çalışmaya dahil edildi, kan örnekleri alındı, katılımcılara yaş, cinsiyet, mesleki çalışma süresi (1-5 yıl, 5-15 yıl, 15 yıl üzeri), dispepsi şikayetleri ve son ayda H2 reseptör blokeri ve proton pompa inhibitörü kullanımının sorgulandığı anket dolduruldu. Helicobacter pylori'ye karşı Ig G antikorları enzim linked immunosorbent assay (ELİSA) testi ile değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Katılımcıların 21'i hekim, 16'sı anestezi teknisyeni idi. On altı (% 76) hekim ve 13 (% 81) anestezi teknisyeninde Helicobacter pylori antikoru pozitif olarak bulundu (p>0.05). Helicobacter pylori seroprevalansı ile epidemiyolojik faktörler arasında ilişki bulunmadı. Helicobacter pylori için seropozitiflik, hekim olanlarda 1-5 yıllık deneyimlilerde % 80, 1-15 yıllık deneyimlilerde % 75 ve 15 yılın üzerinde deneyimi olanlarda % 67, anestezi teknisyenlerinde ise 1-5 yıllık deneyimlilerde % 73, 1-15 yıllık deneyimlilerde % 100 ve 15 yılın üzerinde deneyimi olanlarda % 100 olarak bulundu (p>0.05).Sonuç: Bu çalışma, anestezi personelinin Helicobacter pylori enfeksiyonunun ve vektör taşıyıcılığının önemini, ayrıca; bunların epidemiyolojik faktörlerle ilişkili olmadığını göstermektedir.
