SARS-COV 2 pandemisi sonrası Hatay (Türkiye) ilinde kedilerin son sağlık durumu nedir? ikinci bölüm

Öz

Bu çalışma, ikinci bölüm olarak, Türkiye'nin Hatay ilinde SARS-CoV-2 pandemisi sonrası kedilerde stresin tetikleyebileceği gastrointestinal, idrar yolu ve hepatobiliyer hastalıkların son durumuna odaklanmıştır. Çalışmada Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi Veteriner Sağlık, Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi'ne başvuran gastrointestinal, idrar yolları ve hepatobilier hastalıkları olan kedilerin (n: 147) post-pandemik (Haziran 2021–Haziran 2022) tanı verilerine bakılmıştır. Pandemi sonrası kliniğe başvuran kedilerin ortalama yaşı 33.04 ± 2.77 aydı. Gastrointestinal, idrar yolu ve hepatobiliyer hastalık tanısı konulan kedilerin yaşları sırasıyla 27.78 ± 4.33, 38.04 ± 3.95 ve 40.12 ± 6.27 idi. Pandemi sonrası dönemde teşhis edilen hastalıklar için ırk ve cinsiyet farkı yoktu. Pandeminin ardından kliniğe yaygın olarak getirilen kedi ırkları sırasıyla tekir, melez, British shorthair, İran ve Scottish fold-ear idi. Pandemi sonrası gastrointestinal, üriner ve hepatobiliyer hastalıkların dağılımları sırasıyla %51,0, %37,4 ve %11,6 olarak belirlendi. Kliniğe başvuran kedi ırkları arasında gastrointestinal, üriner ve hepatobilier hastalıklar açısından istatistiksel fark yoktu. Gastroenterit (%40), gastrit (%17,33) ve Feline inflamatuar barsak hastalığı şüpheli (%13,33) hastalıklar en yaygın teşhis edilen sindirim sistemi hastalıkları idi. Sistit (%54.54) ve hemorajik sistit (%32.72) yaygın olarak teşhis edilen hastalıklar idi. Ayrıca, kolanjiyohepatit, pandemi sonrasında kedilerde sıklıkla tek başına (%41,17) veya hepatik lipidoz (%23,52) ya da kolesistit (%17,65) ile birlikte teşhis edilmiş olgulardı. Sonuç olarak, pandemi döneminde uygulanan ve kediler üzerinde strese neden olan kısıtlamalara son verilmiş olsa da, pandemi sonrasında özellikle gastrointestinal sistem hastalıkları açısından stresin kediler üzerindeki kronik etkilerinin sürdüğü kanaatine varıldı.

What is the latest status of cats' health in Hatay (Türkiye) province following the SARS-COV 2 pandemic?

Öz

The current study, as episode two, focused on the latest status of gastrointestinal, urinary tract, and hepatobiliary diseases, which might be induced by stress in cats following the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Hatay province in Türkiye. The study looked at post-pandemic (June 2021–June 2022) diagnosis data of cats with gastrointestinal, urinary tract, and hepatobiliary diseases (n: 147), admitted to Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Veterinary Health, Practice, and Research Center. The average age of the cats admitted to the clinic was 33.04 ± 2.77 months in post-pandemic period. The ages of the cats diagnosed with gastrointestinal, urinary tract and hepatobiliary diseases were 27.78 ± 4.33, 38.04 ± 3.95, and 40.12 ± 6.27, respectively. There were no breed and sex difference for diseases diagnosed in post-pandemic duration. Distributions of gastrointestinal, urinary, and hepatobiliary diseases were determined as 51.0%, 37.4%, and 11.6%, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the cat breeds that presented to the clinic in terms of gastrointestinal, urinary, and hepatobiliary diseases. Gastroenteritis (40%), gastritis (17.33%), and unconfirmed and suspected Feline inflammatory bowel disease (13.33%) are more diagnosed digestive system diseases. Cystitis (54.54%) and hemorrhagic cystitis (32.72%) were commonly diagnosed in urinary diseases. Besides, cholangiohepatitis was commonly diagnosed either alone (41.17%) or accompanied by hepatic lipidosis (23.52%) or cholecystitis (17.65%) in cats following the pandemic. Consequentially, although restrictions implemented during the pandemic that caused stress on cats were ended, the chronic impacts of stress seem to be continuing on cats, especially in terms of the gastrointestinal system, following the pandemic.
