Abstract

Objectives: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a blood-borne virus which istransmitted through the exposure to small amounts of blood. Theobjective of this study was to investigate trend and epidemiologicalpattern of hepatitis C infection during seven successive years inHamadan province during 2011-2016.Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conductedon the new cases of HCV (n=803) who were recorded in thedeputy of health of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. TheCochran-Armitage test was used to investigate the changes in thetrend of the disease according to various demographical and clinicalcharacteristics. Incidence rates of HCV were estimated by districtfor 2016.Results: Totally, 705 (87.8%) cases were male and 98 (79.7%)were urban dwellers and the highest proportion of the cases (51%)belonged to the age group of 25-44 years. The overall incidence rateof HCV infection in Hamadan province was 5.26 per 100.000 in 2016,while the southern counties had higher incidence rate compared tothe northern parts. Only 8.1% of cases were assessed due to clinicalsymptoms.Conclusion: Our results showed that HCV has a decreasing trendfor both genders in Hamadan province and is most prevalent amongmales, age group of 25-44 years, married people and urban dwellers.Therefore, educational programs for the transmission and preventionof hepatitis C in the community and for high-risk groups should beconducted with the management of health centers and mass media.

Özet

Amaç: Hepatit C virüsü (HCV), küçük miktarda kanla temas yoluyla bulaşan bir virüstür. Bu çalışmada, 2011-2016 yılları arasında, Hamadan bölgesinde ardışık yedi yıl boyunca hepatit C enfeksiyonunun trendi ve epidemiyolojik paterninin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel çalışma, Hamadan Tıp Bilimleri Üniversitesi sağlık yardımcılığında kayıt altına alınan yeni HCV olguları (n=803) ile yürütülmüştür. Çeşitli demografik ve klinik özelliklerine göre hastalığın trendindeki değişimleri araştırmak için Cochran– Armitage testi kullanılmıştır. HCV insidansı 2016 yılına kadar ilçe bazında değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Toplamda olguların 705’i (%87,8) erkek, 98’i (%79,7) şehirli olup, olgular (%51) çok yüksek oranda 25-44 yaş grubuna aitti. Hamadan bölgesindeki HCV enfeksiyonunun genel insidans oranı 2016 yılında 100.000’de 5,26 iken, güney bölgeleri kuzey bölgelerine göre daha yüksek insidans oranına sahipti. Olguların sadece %8,1’i klinik semptomlar nedeniyle değerlendirildi. Sonuç: Elde ettiğimiz sonuçlar, HCV’nin Hamadan bölgesinde her iki cinsiyet için azalan bir trende sahip olduğunu ve en yaygın olarak; erkekler arasında, 25-44 yaş grubunda, evli insanlarda ve şehirlilerde görüldüğünü göstermiştir. Bu nedenle, toplumda hepatit C’nin bulaşmasına ve önlenmesine yönelik ve yüksek riskli gruplar için hazırlanan eğitim programları, sağlık merkezlerinin ve kitle iletişim araçlarının yönetimi ile birlikte yürütülmelidir.
