Abstract

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the increase rate of primary and revision knee arthroplasty procedures performed in Turkey between 2013-2017 and the reasons for revision arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: The data include Primary Arthroplasty of Knee and Revision Arthroplasty of Knee procedures performed in public hospitals of Turkey. This research is a retrospective study covering Primary and Revision Knee Arthroplasty procedures between 2013-2017. The data were obtained in Microsoft Excel format and made ready for analysis by making the necessary arrangements on Excel. 2x2 χ² test and independent-sample t-test were used in comparisons of two groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the reasons for patients to undergo the revision procedure. Data analysis was done with IBM SPSS statistics 23 program. The significance level was used as 0.05 and the confidence interval as 95% in the analyzes. Results: A total of 219,607 arthroplasty of knee procedures, including 210,519 primary arthroplasty of the knee and 8,939 revision arthroplasty of knee procedures, were performed over a five-year period. Revision arthroplasty of knee procedure, it has been found that revision arthroplasty of the knee is performed nearly 1.5 times more in males than females, approximately 1000 times more in patients with mechanical complications of the implant, approximately 500 times more in patients with infection complications, approximately 1.3 times more in patients tension disease, and approximately 4.7 times more in patients without hip implants. Conclusion: Determining the health service needs for the coming years and planning the health service delivery, is an important issue for public health in Turkey. It is thought that performing projection studies will be beneficial in terms of making health service planning more accurate.

Türkiye'de Diz Artroplastileri: Sağlık Yönetimi Açısından Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırmada 2013-2017 yılları arasında Türkiye'de yapılan primer ve revizyon diz artroplasti işlemi artış oranını ve revizyon artroplastilerin nedenlerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Veriler, Türkiye'deki kamu hastanelerinde gerçekleştirilen Primer Diz Artroplastisi ve Revizyon Diz Artroplastisi prosedürlerini içermektedir. Bu araştırma 2013-2017 yılları arasındaki Primer ve Revizyon Diz Artroplastisi işlemlerini kapsayan retrospektif bir çalışmadır. Veriler Microsoft Excel formatında elde edilmiş ve Excel üzerinde gerekli düzenlemeler yapılarak analize hazır hale getirilmiştir. İki grubun karşılaştırılmasında 2x2 χ² testi ve bağımsız örneklem t testi kullanıldı. Hastaların revizyon prosedürüne girme nedenlerini belirlemek için ikili lojistik regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizi IBM SPSS statistics 23 programı ile yapılmıştır. Analizlerde anlamlılık düzeyi 0,05 ve güven aralığı %95 olarak kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Beş yıllık bir süre içinde 210.519 primer diz artroplastisi ve 8.939 diz revizyon artroplastisi prosedürü dahil olmak üzere toplam 219.607 diz artroplastisi prosedürü gerçekleştirildi. Revizyon diz artroplasti işleminin; erkeklerde kadınlara göre yaklaşık 1.5, implantın mekanik komplikasyonu olanlarda yaklaşık 1000, implantın enfeksiyon komplikasyonu olanlarda yaklaşık 500, tansiyon hastalığı olmayanlarda yaklaşık 1.3 ve kalça implantı olmayan hastalarda yaklaşık 4,7 kat fazla yapıldığı bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Önümüzdeki yıllar için sağlık hizmeti ihtiyacının belirlenmesi ve sağlık hizmeti sunumunun planlanması, Türkiye'de halk sağlığı açısından önemli bir konudur. Projeksiyon çalışmalarının yapılması sağlık hizmet planlamasının daha doğru yapılabilmesi açısından faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
