Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare hematological and biochemical parameters and cardiovascular risk scoring in patients admitted to the obesity outpatient clinic. Method: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, data of the patients who admitted to the Obesity Outpatient Clinic of Duzce University Research and Application Hospital between 2017 and 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Age, gender, smoking status, presence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and body mass index (BMI) were recorded and the cardiovascular risk of the patients was calculated by using the scoring system of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and Turkish Society of Cardiology (TSC). Results: A total of 631 participants were included in the study. The mean age was 38.9±12.1 (min=21, max=65) and 75.1% of the patients were female and 24.9% were male. It was observed that 19.2% of the patients were smokers, 4.6% had DM and 36.9% had insulin resistance. When the patients were evaluated according to the BMI scores, it was found that 3.3% of them were underweight, 7.3% were normal weight, 22.5% were overweight and 66.9% were obese. According to TSC risk scoring system, 51.4% of the patients were in low risk, 20.5% were in medium risk and 28.1% were in high risk category. According to the ESC risk scoring system, 83.5% of the patients were in low risk, 10.9% were in medium risk and 5.5% were in high risk category. According to both risk scoring systems, there were significant differences between the risk groups in terms of age, gender, BMI, and presence of DM (p
Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, obezite polikliniğine başvuran hastalarda; hematolojik ve biyokimyasal parametreler ile kardiyovasküler risk skorlamasının karşılaştırmalı değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel olarak planlanan bu araştırmada, Düzce Üniversitesi Araştırma ve Uygulama Hastanesinin Obezite Polikliniğine 2017-2018 yılları arasında başvuran hastaların, dosya verileri retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, sigara kullanımları, DM tanılarının varlığı, BKİ değerleri kaydedildi; kardiyovasküler risk faktörleri Avrupa ve Türkiye Kardiyoloji Dernekleri risk skorlamasına göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya %75,1’i kadın, %24,9’u erkek, 631 katılımcı dahil edilmiştir. Yaş ortalaması 38,9±12,1 (min=21-maks=65) olarak bulunmuştur. Hastaların %19,2’sinin sigara kullandığı, %4,6’sında DM ve %36,9’unda insülin direnci olduğu görülmüştür. Katılımcıların %3,3’ü zayıf, %7,3’ü normal kilolu, %22,5’i fazla kilolu ve %66,9’u obezdir. Türkiye Kardiyoloji Derneği risk skorlamasına göre hastaların %51,4’i düşük , %20,5’i orta ve %28,1’i yüksek risklidir. Avrupa Kardiyoloji Derneği risk skorlamasına göre ise hastaların %83,5’i düşük, %10,9’u orta ve %5,5’i yüksek risklidir. Her iki risk skorlamasına göre risk grupları arasında yaş, cinsiyet, beden kitle indeksi ve DM varlığı açısından anlamlı farklılık görüldü (p
