Helicobacter Pylori Positivity And Upper GIS Endoscopy Results: Implications For Clinical Practice

Öz

Objective: Our study aimed to present the results of upper GIS (Gastrointestinal System) endoscopy and pathology performed in our clinic last year and the patients’ benefit from the treatment. Materials and methods: This retrospective study analyzed the records of patients who presented to a hospital’s general surgery outpatient clinic between January and December 2022 and underwent upper GIS endoscopy. Two hundred and twelve individuals who underwent upper GIS endoscopy by the same surgeon were included for standardization purposes. Variables include age, gender, current complaint, current treatment, presence of barret oesophagus, oesophagal dysplasia, gastric dysplasia, sphincter defects, presence of Helicobacter Pylori, pathology results, treatments started after endoscopy, and whether the treatment benefited were examined. Results: The mean age of the participants was 50.83± 15.5. 63.2% (n=134) were women. The most common endoscopy finding in the participants was chronic gastritis, with 67.9% (n=144). Helicobacter pylori was positive in 65.6% (n=139). Of those not found to have Helicobacter pylori and benefited from the treatment, 62.7% (n=42) were taking combined therapy, and 37.3% (n=25) were taking PPI+antacids. Conclusion: Upper GIS endoscopy is a valuable procedure that has an essential place in general surgery practice. Because of both its diagnostic and therapeutic properties, every surgeon should improve himself in this regard. In addition, a competent surgeon should add his clinical knowledge and foresight to the diagnosis and treatment processes, regardless of pathology results or blood tests

Helicobacter Pylori Pozitifliği Ve Üst Gis Endoskopisi Sonuçları: Klinik Uygulamalara Yansımalar

Öz

Amaç: Çalışmamızda kliniğimizde son bir yılda yapılan üst GIS (Gastrointestinal Sistem) endoskopisi ve patoloji sonuçları ve hastaların tedaviden fayda görme durumlarını sunmak amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve metot: Bu retrospektif çalışma, bir hastanenin genel cerrahi polikliniğine Ocak-Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında başvuran ve üst GİS endoskopisi yapılan hastaların kayıtlarını incelemiştir. Standartizasyon açısından aynı cerrah tarafından üst GİS endoskopisi yapılan 212 kişi dahil edilmiştir. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, mevcut şikayet, mevcut aldığı tedavi, barret ösafagus varlığı, ösafagus displazisi, mide displazisi, sfinkter kusurları, Helicobacter pylori varlığı, patoloji sonuçları, endoskopi sonrası başlanan tedaviler ve tedaviden fayda görülüp görülmediği gibi değişkenler incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların ortalama yaşları 50,83±15,5 idi. %63,2’si (n=134) kadındı. Katılımcılarda en sık görülen endoskopi bulgusu %67,9 (n=144) ile kronik gastrit idi. %65,6’sında (n=139) Helicobacter pylori pozitif idi. Helicobacter pylori saptanmayıp tedaviden fayda görenlerin %62,7’si (n=42) kombine tedavi, %37,3’ü ise (n=25) PPİ+ antiasit almaktaydı. Sonuç: Üst GİS endoskopisi genel cerrahi pratiğinde önemli bir yer tutan değerli bir işlemdir. Hem tanısal hem de tedavi edici özellikleri nedeniyle her cerrah bu konuda kendini geliştirmelidir. Ayrıca bu konuda kendini yetkin hisseden bir cerrah sadece patoloji sonuçlarına veya kan tetkiklerine bağlı kalmaksızın tanı ve tedavi süreçlerine kendi klinik bilgi ve öngörüsünü de katmalıdır
