Periferik Vertigolu Yaşlı Hastalarda Kan Enflamatuar Parametrelerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yaşlı hastalarda enfeksiyona bağlı periferik vertigo ile inflamatuar parametreler, beyaz kan hücresi, nötrofil lenfosit oranı, platelet lenfosit oranı ve C-reactive protein arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda periferik vertigo şikayeti olan 122 hasta geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Cinsiyetleri, yaşları, başvuru şekilleri, acil servisten taburculuk ve yatışları, hastaneye başvuru süreleri, şikayetleri ve fizik muayene bulgu oranları incelendi. Bulgular: Ortalama yaş 73,4 yıldı. 115 hasta (%94,3) acil serviste izlem sonrası taburcu edilirken, 7 hasta (%5,7) hastaneye yatırıldı. Şikayetler sırasıyla %75,4 baş dönmesi, %18 bulantı-kusma ve %6,4 baş ağrısı idi. platelet, nötrofil, lenfosit, nötrofil lenfosit oranı ve platelet lenfosit oranı değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda hastalarda beyaz kan hücresi ve C-reactive protein değerleri referans değerlerine göre daha yüksek bulundu. Çalışmamızın sonuçları, periferik vertigolu yaşlı hastaların patogenezinde inflamatuar nedenlerin, tanıda aktif olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.

Assessment of Blood Inflamatory Parameters in Elderly Patients With Peripheral Vertigo

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between infection-induced PV and inflammatory parameters levels, WBC, NLR, PLR and CRP in elderly patients. Material and Method: In our study, 122 patients with peripheral vertigo complaints were retrospectively evaluated. Their gender, age, the type of admission, emergency room discharge and hospitalization, hospital admission time, complaints, and physical examination findings rates were examined. Results: The mean age was 73.4 years.. 115 patients (94.3%) were discharged after follow-up in the emergency department, while 7 patients (5.7%) were hospitalized. Complaints were 75.4% dizziness, 18% nausea-vomiting and 6.4% headache, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in PLT, NEU, LYM, NEU / LYM and PLT / LYM values. Conclusion: In our study, WBC and CRP were significantly higher in patients. The results of our study showed that it can be used actively in the diagnosis of inflammatory causes in the pathogenesis of elderly patients with peripheral vertigo.
