Abstract

Objectives: Investigation of systemic disorders of adult
patients prior to dental interventions is of great importance in order to take
relevant precautions and prevent possible complications. The aim of this study
is to determine the frequency and distribution of various systemic diseases in
adult patients who admitted to the outpatient clinic of an oral and dental
health care hospital.

Materials and Methods: Study group included a total of 440 patients,
251 females and 189 males aged between 18 to 80 years who admitted to Oral and
Dental Health Care Hospital for dental care. The distribution and frequency of
various systemic diseases were determined by questioning the medical history of
the patients with standard self-reported anamnestic questionnaires and verbal
interviews. Data were analysed by Chi square test using SPSS Statistical
Package Program (p<0.05).

Results: In 24.31% (n=107) of the study
group only one disease was detected and in 15.68% (n=69) more than one systemic
disease were detected, whereas no disease was detected in 60.00% (n=264). The
most prevalent disease encountered in the study group was cardio-vascular disorders
(13.40%, n=59), and the second one was endocrine diseases (12.27%, n=54).

Conclusions: In conclusion, detailed medical histories of
the patients may be helpful in prevention of complications related with
systemic diseases and ensure optimal treatment performances.

Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Hastanesine Başvuran Hastalarda Sistemik Hastalıkların Yaş ve Cinsiyete Göre Dağılımı

Abstract

Amaç: Diş hekimliği müdahalelerinden önce erişkin
hastaların sistemik rahatsızlıklarının araştırılması, gerekli önlemlerin alınması
ve olası komplikasyonların önlenmesi için büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu
çalışmanın amacı bir ağız ve diş sağlığı hastanesi polikliniğine başvuran
erişkin hastalarda çeşitli sistemik hastalıkların sıklığını ve dağılımını
belirlemektir.

Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma grubuna, Diş Sağlığı
Hastanesi'ne başvuran 18-80 yaşları arasında 251 kadın ve 189 erkek toplam 440
hasta dahil edildi. Hastalardan alınan anamnezde tıbbi öykü sorgulanarak çeşitli
sistemik hastalıkların dağılımı ve sıklığı belirlendi. Veriler SPSS
İstatistiksel Paket Programı kullanılarak Ki-kare testi ile analiz edildi (p<0,05).

Bulgular:
Çalışma grubunun
%24,31'inde sadece bir, %15,68'inde birden fazla sistemik hastalık saptanırken
%60,00'ında hastalık saptanmadı. Çalışma grubunda en sık rastlanan hastalığın
kardiyovasküler bozukluklar (%13,40), ikincisinin ise endokrin hastalıklar
(%12,27) olduğu tespit edildi.

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, hastaların ayrıntılı
tıbbi öykülerinin alınması, sistemik hastalıklarla ilişkili komplikasyonların
önlenmesinde yardımcı olabilir ve optimal tedavi performansını sağlayabilir.
