İstanbul'daki Serebral Palsi Olgularının Klinik ve Demografik Özellikleri: Çok Merkezli Çalışma

Amaç: Bu makalenin amacı İstanbul 'daki serebral palsi (SP) olgularının demografik özellikleri, klinik tipi, risk faktörleri ve bazı klinik özelliklerini içeren epidemiyolojik özelliklerini araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Eğitim, araştırma ve üniversite hastanelerinden oluşan 11 merkezin katıldığı çok merkezli ve retrospektif bir çalışmadır. 2005 ve 2007 yılları arasında eğitim, araştırma ya da üniversite hastanelerinde kayıt edilen SP olgularının demografik ve klinik verileri, İstanbul Serebral Palsi Çalışma Grubunca toplandı.Bulgular: Yaş ortalamaları 7,27±4,63 yıl olan 730 olgu çalışmaya alındı. Olguların 429'u (%58,8) erkek, 301'i (%41,2) kızdı. Klinik tiplendirmede, spastik tip %91, karma tip %3,6, diskinetik tip %3,2 ve ataksik tip % 0,7 olarak bulundu. Olguların %51,9'una yaşamlarının ilk 6 ayı içinde tanı konmuştu, %24,6'sı 2. altı ay; %23,5 'i ise 12. aydan sonra tanı almıştı. Yüzde 32 olguda konuşma bozukluğu, %23,1'inde mental gerilik ve %20,9'unda epilepsi mevcuttu.Sonuç: Ülkemizde SP olguların demografik özellikleri ile ilgili az sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'deki SP olgu profilini belirlemede ve prospektif çalışmalara hasta havuzu oluşturmak için bir ön çalışma niteliğindedir.Objective: The objective of this study is to identify epidemiological characteristics of patients with cerebral palsy (CP) in Istanbul, including demographic information, clinical types, risk factors, and some clinical features.Material and Methods: This is a retrospective and multicenter study, with the participation of 11 training and university hospitals in Istanbul. Demographic and clinical data of patients with CP presenting to university and training hospitals in Istanbul between 2005 and 2007 were recorded. Data were collected by the Istanbul Cerebral Palsy Study Group (ICPSG).Results: A total of 730 patients with a mean age of 7.27±4.63 (2-18 years) were enrolled into the study; 429 (58.8%) of the patients were male and 301 (41.2%) were female. During clinical typing, it was seen that 91% of the patients were spastic, 3.6% was mixed, 3.2% was dyskinetic, and 0.7% was ataxic. Also, 51.9 % of the patients had a diagnosis of CP during 0-6 months of age, 24.6% had the diagnosis Sonuç: Ülkemizde SP olguların demografik özellikleri ile ilgili az sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'deki SP olgu profilini belirlemede ve prospektif çalışmalara hasta havuzu oluşturmak için bir ön çalışma niteliğindedir

Demographic and clinical characteristics of inpatient stroke patients in Turkey

Objectives: This study aims to assess the stroke rehabilitation facilities provided by university hospitals (UHs) and training and research hospitals (TRHs) and to evaluate the geographical disparities in stroke rehabilitation. Patients and methods: Between April 2013 and April 2014 a total of 1,529 stroke patients (817 males, 712 females; mean age: 61.7±14.0 years; range, 12 to 91 years) who were admitted to the physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics in 20 tertiary care centers were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic, regional and clinical characteristics, details of rehabilitation period, functional status, and complications were collected. Results: The median duration of stroke was five (range, 1 to 360) months. The ratio of the patients treated in the TRH in the Marmara region was 77%, but only 25% of the patients were living in the Marmara region. Duration of hospitalization was longer in the TRHs with a median of 28 days compared to those of UHs (median: 22 days) (p0.0001). More than half of the patients (55%) were rehabilitated in the Marmara region. Time after stroke was the highest in the Southeast region with a median of 12 (range, 1 to 230) months and the lowest in the Aegean region with a median of four (range, 1 to 84) months. Conclusion: This study provides an insight into the situation of stroke rehabilitation settings and characteristics of stroke patients in Turkey. A standard method of patient evaluation and a registry system may provide data about the efficacy of stroke rehabilitation and may help to focus on the problems that hinder a better outcome. © 2022 All right reserved by the Turkish Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Assessment of the Relationship Between Vitamin D Level and Non-specific Musculoskeletal System Pain: A Multicenter Retrospective Study (Stroke Study Group)

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D level and pain severity, localization and duration in patients with non-specific musculoskeletal pain. Materials and Methods: Patients who applied to physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinics due to non-specific muscle pain in 19 centers in Turkey were retrospectively screened. Three thousand four hundred fourpatients were included in the study, whose pain level was determined by visual analog scale (VAS) and the painful region, duration of pain and vitamin D level were reached. D group was found to be D deficient (group 1) when 25 (OH)D level was 20 ng/mL or less and group D 2 (vitamin D deficiency) was higher than 30 ng/mL (group 3). The groups were compared in terms of pain duration, localization and severity. In addition, the correlations of pain localization, severity and duration with vitamin D levels were examined. Results: D vitamin deficiency was detected in 2202 (70.9%) of 3 thousand four hundred and four registered patients, and it was found that vitamin D deficiency in 516 (16.6%) and normal vitamin D in 386 (12.4%). The groups were similar in terms of age, body mass index, income level, duration of complaint, education level, family type and working status (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of VAS, pain localization and duration scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our study shows that vitamin D deficiency in patients with nonspecific musculoskeletal pain is not associated with the severity and duration of pain
