Abstract

Aim: Acute appendicitis is the most common emergent surgical disease and complicated appendicitis is an indicator of disrupted access to healthcare. Language disability has become more important in the healthcare sector with increasing migration in the last decade. We aimed to evaluate language disability as a risk factor for complicated appendicitis. Methods: From January 2014 to December 2018, patients who were operated for acute appendicitis were evaluated retrospectively. Patients’ age, gender, language disability (LD) (no (C) or yes (F)), whether surgical drainage was required, pathological findings (appendix diameter, severity as uncomplicated (UCA) or complicated (CA), and presence of local peritonitis), levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), White Blood Cells (Wbc), Neutrophil% (Neu%), and ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) results were noted and compared. Results: Six hundered twenty-eight patients were included in the study, among which 15.1% (n=95) were considered F, and 12% (n=74) were CA. Age and gender did not significantly differ in terms of LD and severity (P=0.15, P=0.24 and P=0.2, P=0.21, respectively). Drainage requirement, local peritonitis, levels of CRP, Wbc, and Neu% were significantly higher in the CA group (P

Özet

Amaç: Akut apandisit en sık acil cerrahi hastalık ve komplike apandisit sağlık kuruluşlarına erişebilme göstergesidir. Son on yılda göçlerin artması ile dil engeli sağlık için önemli hale gelmiştir. Dil engelinin komplike apandisit için risk faktörü olarak değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Yöntemler: Ocak 2014’den Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında akut apandisit nedeni ile opere edilen hastalar geriye dönük değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, dil engeli (DE) (var (Y) yok (V)), drenaj uygulanması, patolojisi (apandiks çapı, şiddeti komplike olan (KA), komplike olmayan (KOA), ve lokal peritonit varlığı), C-Reaktif Proteini (CRP), beyaz küre (BK), nötrofil yüzdesi (Nöt%), ultrasonografi (US) ve bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) sonuçları istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Altı yüz yirmi sekiz hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. %15,1’i (n=95) Y, ve %12’si (n=74) KA idi. DE ve şiddet açısından yaş ve cinsiyet farkı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı saptanmadı (sırasıyla P=0,15, P=0,24 ve P=0,2, P=0,21). Drenaj, lokal peritonit, CRP, BK ve Nöt% KA grubunda anlamlı olarak yüksek saptandı (sırasıyla P
