Abstract

Amaç: Van Bölgesinde pterjiumdaki olası risk faktörleri ve koruyucu faktörleri değerlendirmek.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Pterjium hastalarının demografik bilgileri, meslekleri, eğitim durumları, sigara kullanımları, tandır ekmeği yapıp yapmadıkları, güneş gözlüğü ve şapka kullanım alışkanlıkları sorgulandı ve pterjium evrelemesi yapıldı. Eğitim durumu, çalışma koşulları, sigara kullanımı, şapka-güneş gözlüğü kullanımı ve tandır ekmeği yapıp yapmadıkları ile pterjium evresi arasındaki ilişki değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan toplam 48 hastadan 30 hasta erkek (%62,5), 18 hasta ise kadındı (%37,5). Hastaların ortalama yaşları 42,8 ±12,9 yıldı. Hastaların 29’u (%60,4) kapalı ortamda 19’u (%39,6) ise açık ortamda çalışıyordu. Eğitim durumuna göre 12 hasta okuma-yazma bilmeyen (%25), 16 hasta ilkokul mezunu (%33,3), 9 hasta ortaokul mezunu (%18,8), 8 hasta lise mezunu (%16,7), 3 hasta (%6,3) ise üniversite ve üzeri eğitim düzeyine sahipti. Diğer olası etiyolojik faktörler değerlendirildiğinde 10 hasta (%20,8) tandır ekmeği yaparken, 16 hasta sigara içiyordu (%33,3), sadece 5 hasta (%10,4) güneş gözlüğü kullanıyordu, 13 hasta (%37,1) ise şapka kullanıyordu. Hastaların pterjium evrelerine göre sigara kullanımı, tandır ekmeği yapımı, şapka kullanımı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmezken dış mekanda çalışma ile hastalık evresi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Pterjiumda sigara kullanımı, tandır ekmeği yapımı, güneş gözlüğü ve şapka kullanımı gibi faktörlerin risk faktörü veya koruyucu faktörler olabilir ancak hastalığın prognozu ile ilişkili olmayabilir.

Abstract

Aim: To assess possible risk factors and protective factors in pterygium at Van Region.
Material and Method: Patients demographic data, occupations, educational status, smoking habits, sunglasses and hat usage habits were questioned, then pterygium grading was done. Correlations between pterygium grade and educational status, smoking, sunglasses and hat usage habits were evaluated.
Results: Totally 48 patients, 30 male (62.5%), and 18 female (37.5%) were included in this study. Mean age of the patients was 42.8 ±12.9 years. 29 (60.4%) of the patients were working indoor and 19 (39.6%) of the patients were working outdoor. According to educational status, 12 patient (25%) didn’t know reading and writing, 16 patient was elementary school (33%), 9 patient was middle school graduated (18.8%), 8 patient was high school graduated (16.7%) and 3 patient (6.3%) was collage and above graduated. When evaluating the other possible factors, 10 patients (20.8%) were making tandoor bread, 16 patients (33.3%) were smoking, only 5 (10.4%) patients were using sunglasses and 13 patients (37.1%) were using hat. There was no significant correlation between pterygium grade and smoking habits, tandoor bread making, sunglasses and hat usage habbits while significant relation was found between pterygium grade and outdoor working.
Conclusion: Smoking habits, tandoor bread making habits, sunglasses and hat usage habits may be possible protective or risk factors for pterygium, but it may not be associated with pterygium grades and prognoses.
