Abstract

Objective: IAxial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a heterogeneous group of inflammatory diseases characterized by predominant involvement of the axial skeleton. Vitamin D deficiency is not a
rare situation in the world. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and disease activity measures, health related quality of life (QoL) and
other clinical characteristics in patients with axSpA.
Method: Disease activity, functions, mobility, QoL and pain were assessed by using questionnaires and blood samples was collected for vitamin D levels in patients with axSpA.
Results: A total 25patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and 25 non-radiographic (nr) axSpA were included. Mean age of AS and nr-axSpA was similar. Forty four percent of patients with
axSpA had vitamin D deficiency. Mean vitamin D levels were significantly lower in patients with nr-axSpA than AS. Some disease activity measurements were higher in patients with
axSpA who had vitamin D deficiency.
Conclusion: Quality of life measures were similar between the groups. There were low negative relationships between vitamin D level and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index, Bath
Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index

D Vitamini Eksikliğinin Aksiyel Spondiloartritli Hastalarda Hastalık Aktivitesi, Fiziksel Fonksiyonlar, Sağlıkla İlgili Yaşam Kalitesi ve Psikiyatrik Durum Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Aksiyel spondiloartrit (aksSpA), aksiyel iskeletin
baskın tutulumu ile karakterize heterojen bir inflamatuvar hastalık grubudur. D
vitamini eksikliği dünyada ender bir durum değildir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, axSpA
hastalarında D vitamini eksikliği ile hastalık aktivitesi, sağlıkla ilişkili
yaşam kalitesi ve diğer klinik özellikler arasındaki ilişkiyi
değerlendirmektir.

Gereç ve
Yöntemler: Hastalık aktivitesi, fonksiyonlar, mobilite,
yaşam kalitesi ve ağrı çeşitli indekslerle değerlendirildi ve aksSpA'lı
hastalarda vitamin D düzeyleri için kan örnekleri toplandı.

Bulgular: Toplam 25 ankilozan spondilit (AS), 25 radyografik
olmayan (nr) aksSpA’lı hasta dâhil edildi. AS ve nr-aksSpA'lı hastaların yaş
ortalaması benzerdi. AksSpA’lı hastaların %44'ünde D vitamini eksikliği vardı.
Ortalama vitamin D düzeyleri, nr-aksSpA'lı hastalarda AS’li hastalardan anlamlı
olarak daha düşüktü. D vitamini eksikliği olan aksSpA’lı hastalarda bazı
hastalık aktivite ölçekleri daha yüksekti.

Sonuç:
Yaşam kalitesi ölçütleri gruplar arasında benzerdi. D vitamini düzeyi ile Bath Ankilozan
Spondilit Fonksiyonel İndeksi (BASFI), Bath Ankilozan Spondilit Metroloji
İndeksi (BASMI) ve Bath Ankilozan Spondilit Hastalık Aktivite İndeksi (BASDAI) arasında
düşük negatif ilişki vardı.
