Bu çalışmada, yüksek rakımlarda yaşayan, başlangıçta sık görülen ortopedik problemler gibi görünen şikayetlerle hastaneye başvuran hastaların semptomlarını araştırmayı ve kronik dağ hastalığı ile ilişkilerini incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Prospektif olarak toplanan 104 hastanın verileri incelendi. Hastaların serum hemoglobin (Hb) ve hematokrit (Hct) seviyeleri, oksijen satürasyonu (sO²), Qinghai KDH anket skoru, alkol ve tütün kullanımı, herhangi bir akut dağ hastalığı öyküsü, vücut kitle indeksi (BMI), kan basıncı, kalp atış hızı ve yüksek rakımda yaşam süresi kaydedildi. Hastalar; Qinghai skoruna göre sağlıklı, hafif, orta veya şiddetli KDH olarak gruplandırıldı. Gruplar parametreler ve demografik özellikler açısından incelendi. Bulgular: Yüz dört hastadan 33’ünün (%31,7) ≥6 hafif KDH skoru vardı (28 hasta, 6-10, 5 hasta, 11-14 puan). Diğer hastalarda CMS saptanmadı. Aşırı eritrositoz sıklığı erkeklerde %4,5, kadınlarda %3,3 idi. Sağlıklı ve hafif CMS grupları arasında Hb, Hct ve sO2 düzeyleri açısından anlamlı fark saptandı (p&amp;lt;0,001). KDH skorunun Hct (rho 0,381 p&amp;lt;0,001) ile pozitif, sO2 seviyeleri arasında negatif korelasyon (rho -0,432 p&amp;lt;0,001) saptandı. Sonuç: Kronik dağ hastalığı, literatürde tarif edilenden daha düşük rakımlarda gözlemlenebilir. Yüksek yerlerde yaşayan bireylerde CMS semptomlarının bazılarının gerçek ortopedik semptomlarla karışabileceği ve bu bölgelerde çalışan ortopedistler bu konudaki farkındalıklarını arttırmalıdırlar. Bireysel semptomlar diğer hastalıkların bulguları ile kesişebilir ve özellikle benzer yaygın semptomları olan hastalıklarda KDH gözden kaçabilir. Uygun bir yaklaşımın yapılabilmesi için yüksek rakımlarda yaşayan hastalarda KDH ile ilgili diğer semptomların da sorgulanması gerekir.</p></abstract>
