Abstract
COPD with the development of inflammation in the alveoli as a result of exposure of harmful gases to the bronchi and bronchioles in the lungs, irreversible airflow restriction and respiratory symptoms occur. In our study;It is aimed to evaluate the serum D vitamin level in COPD patients with acute respiratory failure and to investigate the effect of vitamin D in COPD stages. This study is a prospective cross-sectional study. The study was conducted with a total of 75 COPD patient groups and 65 control groups. GOLD score, CAT score and Mmrc score were used in the study. Kruskal-Wallis H test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis.The results were evaluated in terms of p <0.05 significance level. According to the results of our study, vitamin D level in acute exacerbation was lower in patients with acute obstructive pulmonary disease than in the control group. According to the results obtained in our study, when CAT scores, Mmrc scores, vitamin D levels and gold scores,which are the measured assessment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, are evaluated; With increasing vitamin D deficiency, patient clinics become more severe. We believe that patients diagnosed with COPD add vitamin D to their treatment protocols according to their vitamin D levels and their vital activities will increase while reducing the severity of COPD.
