Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the frequency
of comorbid diseases in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia by the Physical Therapy
Clinic.

Material and Method: Data of 674 patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia
between January 2013 and May 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Comorbid disease
data of patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia were analyzed statistically.

Results: 208 (30.8%) of the 674 patients were male and
466 (69.2%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 49.2±10.4 years in males
and 50.4±12.7 years in females. There were at least one comorbid disease in 548
patients (81.3%) and no comorbid disease in 126 (18.6%) patients. The most common
comorbid diseases were cardiovascular diseases in 224 (40.8%) patients and endocrine
diseases in 187 (34.1%) patients.

Conclusion: Fibromyalgia is an increasingly prevalent disease
in recent years. Close monitoring of comorbid disease states of patients diagnosed
with fibromyalgia will be useful in the treatment of fibromyalgia.

Fibromiyalji tanısı konulan hastalarda komorbid hastalıkların görülme sıklığı

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, Fizik Tedavi kliniği tarafından
fibromiyalji tanısı konulan hastalarda komorbid hastalıkların sıklığını belirlemeyi
amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Ocak 2013 - Mayıs 2018 tarihleri
arasında fibromiyalji tanısı konulan 674 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir.
Fibromiyalji tanısı konulan hastaların komorbid hastalık verileri istatistiksel
olarak analiz edildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 674 hastanın 208 (%30,8)’i
erkek, 466 (%69,2)’ı kadın hastalardı. Hastaların yaş ortalaması, erkeklerde 49,2±10,4
yıl, kadınlarda 50,4±12,7 yıldı. Hastaların 548 (%81,3)’inde en az bir komorbid
hastalık varken, 126 (%18,6) hastada herhangi bir komorbid hastalık yoktu. En sık
görülen komorbid hastalık 224 (%40,8) hasta ile kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, ikinci
sırada 187 (%34,1) hasta ile endokrin hastalıklar yer almaktadır.

Sonuç: Fibromiyalji, son yıllarda sıklığı giderek
artan bir hastalıktır. Fibromiyalji tanısı konulan hastaların, komorbid hastalık
durumlarının yakından takip edilmesi, fibromiyaljinin tedavisinde yararlı olacaktır.
