Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Romatoloji Polikliniğine başvuran RA’lı hastalarda alerjik hastalıkların sıklığı ve hastalık aktivitesi ile olan ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesi etween

Materyal ve Metot: Hastalara, sosyodemografik veri formu ve “Avrupa Topluluğu Solunum Sağlığı Çalışması” (European Community Respiratory Health Study, ATSSÇ) anketi uygulanarak alerjik hastalıkların yaygınlığı ile RA hastalık aktivitesi (DAS-28) arasındaki ilişki saptanmaya çalışılmıştır

Bulgular: Toplam 135 hasta çalışmaya alındı (108 kadın 27 erkek; yaş ortalaması 53,0±11,1 yıldı). Kadınların %33,3’ünde astım benzeri bulgular görülmüştür. Erkeklerin %33,3’ünde astım benzeri bulgular ve %33,3’ünde non enfeksiyöz rinit görülmektedir. DAS-28 skoru ile anket tanılarının sıklığı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır( p=0,75).

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda RA aktivite skoru ile ATSSÇ tanıları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı. Literatür taramamızda; RA hastalarında DAS-28 ile alerjik hastalık ilişkisini araştıran bir çalışma bulamadık. Bu nedenle bu sonucun önemli olduğu kanaatindeyiz.

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Disease Activity and Allergic Disease Prevalence in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract

Objectives: We aimed to assess the relationship between disease activity and frequency of allergic diseases in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were admitted to a rheumatology outpatient clinic.

Materials and methods: Socio-demographic data form and the European Community Respiratory Health Study (ECRHS) questionnaire were applied to the patients and the prevalence of allergic patients by applying ECHRS and the relationship between RA disease activity was assessed.

Results: A total of 135 patients were included in the study (108 female and 27 male); average age 53,0 ± 11,1 years. Asthma-like symptoms were observed in 33,33% of women. Asthma-like symptoms in 33,33% of men and 33,33% are non-infectious rhinitis. A statistically significant difference was not found between DAS-28 scores and frequencies of the survey diagnoses (p = 0,75).

Conclusion: We could not find a significant correlation between the diagnosis of RA activity score and ECHRS diagnoses in our study. We could not find a study which focused on  the relationship between allergic diseases and DAS-28 in RA in the literature. Thus, we believe that these results are noteworthy
