İzoretinoin kullanan hastalarda işitme kaybı: Bir yan etki mi yoksa nedeni hiperlipidemi mi?

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, izoretinoin tedavisinin işitme fonksiyonları üzerine etkisini prospektif olarak araştırmak ve eş zamanlı trigliserit düzeyleriyle ilişkisini göstermektir. Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya aknelerinin 0.5 mg/kg izoretinoinle tedavisi için Şubat 2011 - Haziran 2011 tarihleri arasında dermatoloji kliniğimize kabul edilen toplam 47 hasta dahil edilmiştir. İlacı tolere edebilme derecelerine göre hastaların hepsinde günlük 0.5 mg/kg izoretinoin dozuyla tedaviye başlanmıştır. Yaş, cinsiyet, ilk 6 ayda izoretinoin dozu, tedavi öncesi ve sonrası aylık AST, ALT, trigliserit ve total kolesterol değerleri kaydedilmiştir. Çalışma grubunda 33 kadın ve 14 erkek katılımcı vardı. Bulgular: İzoretinoinle tedaviye başlamadan önce odyometrik değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. PTA1 ve PTA2 değerleri sırasıyla 11.96 ve 12.59 idi. Bu değerler tedavi sonrası testlerin sonuçları ile karşılaştırılmış, tedavi sonrası PTA1 ve PTA2 sonuçlarının aynı olduğu saptanmıştır. İlacın kullanımı tedaviden 1 ay sonra işitmeyi etkilememişti. Üç ay sonra PTA1 ve PTA2 değerleri sırasıyla 12.16 ve 13.85 idi. Bu değerler tedavi öncesi değerlerle karşılaştırılmış, hem PTA1, hem de PTA2 düzeylerinin azaldığı saptanmıştır. Ancak 3. ayda eşik değerdeki azalma istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı değildi (p

Hearing loss in patients using isotretinoin: is it a side effect or due to hyperlipidemia?

Objective: To prospectively investigate the effect of isotretinoin therapy on the functions of hearing and to show the relationship between concurrent triglyceride levels. Methods: A total of 47 patients who were admitted to our dermatology clinic between February 2011 and June 2011 for the treatment of acne using 0.5 mg/kg isotretinoin were included in this study. All the patients were started on 0.5 mg/kg/day isotretinoin depending on their tolerance of the drug. Details such as age, sex, dose of isotretinoin for the first 6 months, monthly pretreatment and posttreatment, and ALT, AST, triglyceride and total cholesterol values were recorded. There were 33 females and 14 males in the study group. Results: Audiometric evaluations made prior to treatment with isotretinoin, levels of PTA1 and PTA2 were 11.96 and 12.59, respectively, these were compared with the results of tests carried out after the treatment and pre- and posttreatment values of PTA1 and PTA2 were found to be the same, 1 month after the treatment, drug use did not effect hearing. PTA 1 value after 3 months was 12.16 and PTA 2 value was 13.85. These values are compared to pretreatment values and PTA2 PTA1 both were decreased. However, in the third month the threshold decrease was not statistically significant (p>0.05). PTA1 and PTA2 values after the sixth month were 12.25 and 12.96, this decrease was statistically significant compared with pretreatment values (p
