Abstract

Background and Aims: Inflammatory bowel diseases are a group of chronic, relapsing diseases that occur in genetically predisposed individuals with the inappropriate interaction of environmental factors and the host’s immune system. The presence of chronic illness is often associated with high depression and anxiety. Here, it is associated with higher disease activity. This study determines the disease activity of cases and investigates the relationship between disease activity and presence of depression and inflammatory markers. Materials and Methods: Patients over 18 years who were diagnosed with an inflammatory bowel diseases were included in the study. The disease activity was determined by the Crohn’s Disease Activity Index for patients with Crohn’s disease and by the Truelove-Witts Clinical Activity Index for patients with ulcerative colitis. The Beck Depression Inventory was used to evaluate the presence of depression. Depression and inflammatory markers were compared according to the disease activity determined in both groups. Results: A total of 94 adult patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, 31 (33.3%) with Crohn’s Disease, and 63 (66.7%) with ulcerative colitis, were included in the study. All Crohn’s disease cases with depression had moderate disease, and most ulcerative colitis cases had moderate-to-severe disease (p = 0.000). According to the disease activity groups, a significant correlation existed between C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, hemoglobin, and hematocrit values in patients with ulcerative colitis (p < 0.05). However, a significant correlation existed only in hemoglobin values according to the Crohn’s disease activity groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Depression is present with increased disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases and is associated with inflammatory markers. Therefore, patients with inflammatory bowel diseases should be routinely screened for anxiety and depressive disorders, especially at the first diagnosis, during active disease periods, and at routine controls. In addition, prospective studies involving larger populations must produce additional data to clarify the relationship between inflammatory bowel diseases disease activity and depression.

Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç: İnflamatuvar bağırsak hastalıkları; genetik yatkınlığı olan bireylerde, çevresel faktörler ve konakçının bağışıklık sisteminin uygunsuz etkileşimi ile ortaya çıktığı düşünülen kronik, tekrarlayıcı özellikte bir hastalık grubudur. Süreğen hastalık varlığı sıklıkla yüksek depresyon ve anksiyete ile ilişkilidir. Bu durum da daha fazla hastalık aktivitesi ile ilişkilidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı olguların hastalık aktivitesini belirlemek ve hastalık aktivitesi ile depresyon varlığı ve inflamatuvar belirteçler ile ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: İnflamatuvar bağırsak hastalığı tanısı ile takip edilen 18 yaş üzeri hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Crohn hastaları için Crohn Hastalık Aktivite İndeksi ve ülseratif kolit hastaları için Truelove-Witts Klinik Aktivite İndeksi ile hastalık aktivitesi belirlendi. Depresyon varlığının değerlendirilmesi için Beck Depresyon Ölçeği kullanıldı. Her iki grup da belirlenen hastalık aktivite gruplarına göre depresyon varlığı ve inflamatuvar belirteçler yönünden karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 31 (%33.3) Crohn hastalığı ve 63 (%66.7) ülseratif kolit tanılı olmak üzere 94 yetişkin inflamatuvar bağırsak hastası dahil edildi. Depresyon varlığı olan Crohn hastalığı olgularının tamamının orta şiddette hastalığı ve ülseratif kolit olgularının çoğunluğunun orta ve ağır şiddette hastalığı olduğu saptandı (p = 0.000). Ülseratif kolit hastalarının hastalık aktivite gruplarına göre C-reaktif protein, eritrosit sedimantasyon hızı, hemoglobin ve hematokrit değerleri arasında anlamlı ilişki bulundu (p < 0.05). Ancak Crohn hastalarının hastalık aktivite gruplarına göre sadece hemoglobin değerinde anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (p < 0.05). Sonuç: İnflamatuvar bağırsak hastalarında hastalık aktivitesinin artması ile depresyon varlığının bulunduğu ve inflamatuvar belirteçler ile ilişkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu yüzden inflamatuvar bağırsak hastaları özellikle ilk tanı anında, aktif hastalık dönemlerinde ve rutin kontrollerde, anksiyete ve depresif bozukluklar açısından rutin olarak taranmalıdır. Ayrıca inflamatuvar bağırsak hastalığı aktivitesi ile depresyon arasındaki ilişkinin açıklığa kavuşması açısından yeterli bilgiye sahip olmak için daha geniş popülasyonu içeren prospektif çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
