    (Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2015) Gunduz, Ercan; Eskin, Fatih; Gunduz, Mehmet; Bentli, Recep; Selcuk, Engin Burak; Zengin, Yilmaz; Icer, Mustafa
    Introduction: Our aim is to investigate the effects of sleep quality, income level and comorbid conditions on Quality of Life in a Turkish elderly population. Materials and Method: This multicentric study was performed in seven districts. A total of 1030 patients older than 65 years of age who applied to the internal medicine and geriatrics outpatient clinics of study centres between January and December 2014 were included. All patients underwent the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Quality of Life Assessment (Short Form 36) tests viaface to face interview method. The demographic properties of patients were also recorded during this interview. Results: The mean Quality of Life subscale scores, except for vitality, were significantly lower (p < 0.001) in patients with poor sleep quality. When analysing the relationship between Quality of Life and multiple chronic diseases, it was observed that patients having multiple chronic diseases had significantly lowered scores in three subscales (physical functioning, mental health and bodily pain; p=0.04, p=0.04, p=0.01, respectively). There were significant differences between patients with high versus low income level with respect to the mean physical functioning, mental health and bodily pain subscales (p=0.01). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated an adverse effect of low sleep quality, multiple chronic disorders and low income level on Quality of Life.

    İnterferon tedavisi uygulanan kronik hepatit hastalarında tiroid fonksiyon bozukluğu sıklığı
    (İnönü Üniversitesi, 2009) Eskin, Fatih
    Bu çalışmamızda, kronik hepatit B ve kronik hepatit C hastalarına uygulanmış interferon-alfa tedavisine bağlı gelişen tiroid fonksiyon bozukluklarının retrospektif olarak incelenmesini amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem Çalışmamıza, kronik hepatit B'li 80 hasta ve kronik hepatit C'li 40 hasta alındı. Kronik hepatit B'li hastalar IFN-? + lamivudin veya adefovir dipivoksil tedavisi ve kronik hepatit C'li hastalar IFN-? + ribavirin tedavisi uygulanmış hastalardı. Çalışma öncesinde, hastaların tamamında tiroid fonksiyon testleri normaldi. Hastaların başlangıç, 3. ay, 6. ay ve 12. aydaki fT3, fT4 ve TSH değerleri incelendi. Bulgular Hem hepatit B'li hem de hepatit C'li hasta grubunda, cinsiyetin tiroid disfonksiyonu gelişimi için anlamlı olmadığı bulundu. Ancak her iki grupta da tiroid disfonksiyonu gelişen hastaların çoğunluğu kadındı. Hepatit B'li grupta, daha küçük yaştaki hastalarda tiroid disfonksiyonunun geliştiği görüldü. IFN-? tedavisi ile her çeşit tiroid disfonksiyonunun gelişebildiği tespit edildi. Kronik hepatit B'li hastalara göre kronik hepatit C'li hastalarda, tiroid fonksiyon bozukluğunun daha sık geliştiği bulundu. Sonuç IFN-? tedavisi verilen hastalarda, tiroid fonksiyon bozukluğu gelişebileceği her zaman akılda tutulmalıdır. Kadın cinsiyet, kronik hepatit C hastalığı ve antitiroid otoantikor pozitifliği tiroid fonksiyon bozukuluğu gelişimi için en önemli risk faktörleridir. IFN-? tedavisine başlamadan önce tüm hastaların TSH ve antitiroid otoantikorlarının kontrol edilmesini ve riskli olan hastalarda daha sık olmak üzere tedavi süresince (gerekirse tedaviden sonra da) her 3 ayda bir fT3, fT4, TSH ve antitiroid otoantikorlarına bakılmasını önermekteyiz.

    Malnutrition in Community-Dwelling Elderly in Turkey: A Multicenter, Cross-Sectional Study
    (Int Scientific Information, Inc, 2015) Gunduz, Ercan; Eskin, Fatih; Gunduz, Mehmet; Bentli, Recep; Zengin, Yilmaz; Dursun, Recep; Icer, Mustafa
    Background: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition and explore the somatic, psychological, functional, and social or lifestyle characteristics linked to malnutrition in elderly people at a hospital in Turkey. Material/Methods: This study included 1030 patients older than 65 years of age who were seen at the internal medicine and geriatrics outpatient clinics of the study centers in Istanbul, Ankara, Duzce, Corum, Mardin, Malatya, and Diyarbakir provinces between January and December 2014. All patients underwent Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) tests via one-on-one interview method. The demographic properties of the patients were also recorded during this interview. Results: Among 1030 patients included in this study, 196 (19%) had malnutrition and 300 (29.1%) had malnutrition risk. The malnutrition group and the other groups were significantly different with respect to mean GDS score, income status, educational status, the number of children, functional status (ADL, IADL), the number of patients with depression, and the number of comorbid disorders. According to the results of the logistic regression analysis, age (OR=95% CI: 1.007-1.056; p=0.012), BMI (OR= 95% CI: 0.702-0.796; p<0.001), educational status (OR= 95% CI: 0.359-0.897; p=0.015), comorbidity (OR= 95% CI: 2.296-5.448; p<0.001), and depression score (OR= 95% CI: 1.104-3.051; p=0.02) were independently associated with malnutrition. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that age, depression, BMI, comorbidity, and the educational status were independently associated with malnutrition in an elderly population.
