Abstract

Introduction: Compliance with spirometry may be disturbed among elderly patients,leading to difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. Contradicting studies exist concerning thequality of spirometry measurements, particularly among patients with cognitive disorders. Westudied the effect of cognitive functions on spirometry testing time and pulmonary functiontest (PFT) parameters among patients aged ≥65 years.Materials and Method: The study was conducted in the Pulmonary Function Laboratoryof our hospital between January and June 2015. A total of 336 subjects aged >45 years whonever underwent PFT were included. Patients were categorized as those aged ≥65 years (Group1) and those aged 45–65 years(Group 2). Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores of ≥24were considered normal, whereas those of 18–23 indicated mild cognitive dysfunction.Results: Groups 1 (132 subjects) and 2 (204 subjects) had similar male-to-female ratios. Six(1.8%) patients were excluded because their spirometry was not properly performed. Forcedexpiratory volume in 1st second (FEV1 % predicted), forced vital capacity (FVC % predicted),FEV1/FVC %, and MMSE results were significantly lower in Group 1 than in Group 2. Nosignificant difference was noted between the groups regarding spirometry testing time andthe number of maneuvers. MMSE negatively correlated with age and the number of spirometrymaneuvers and positively with FEV1 % and FVC %. The prevalence of obstructive pulmonarydisorders was higher in Group 1. Logistic regression analysis revealed age, body mass index,and smoking history as factors affecting obstruction.Conclusion: Evaluation of cognitive function before performing spirometry testing inelderly patients is essential for accurate and reliable test results.

Özet

Giriş: Yaşlı hastalarda spirometriye uyum zor olabilmekte bu da tanı ve tedavide yetersizliklere neden olmaktadır. Özellikle kognitif fonksiyonlardaki bozulmaya bağlı spirometri ölçümlerinin kalitesi ile ilgili çelişkili yayınlar mevcuttur. Çalışmada 65 yaş üzerindeki kişilerde kognitif fonksiyonların spirometri süresi ve solunum fonksiyon testi (SFT) parametreleri üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Ocak 2015 ile Haziran 2015 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz solunum fonksiyon laboratuvarına başvuran daha önce SFT yapılmamış olan 45 yaş üzeri toplam 336 olgu alındı. Olguların yaş, kilo, boy, eğitim düzeyi, geçmiş tıbbi öyküleri ve alışkanlıkları, SFT ve standardize mini mental test (MMSE) sonuçları kaydedildi. Olgular 65 yaş üstü (grup 1) ve 45-65 yaş arası (Grup 2) olacak şekilde sınıflandırıldı. MMSE’ de 30 puan üzerinden yapılan değerlendirmede 24 puan ve üzeri normal, 18-23 puan arası hafif kognitif bozukluk olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Olguların 132’si Grup 1’de, 204’ü Grup 2’de idi, her iki grubun erkek ve kadın oranları benzerdi (p=0.053). Altı (%1.8) olgunun spirometreleri uygun şekilde yapılmadığından değerlendirmeye alınmadı. Grup 1’de postbronkodilatatör FEV1%, FVC %, FEV1/FVC % değerleri ile MMSE puanları kontrol grubuna kıyasla anlamlı olarak daha düşük bulundu (p=
