Meteorolojik değişiklikler ve primer spontan pnömotoraks arasındaki ilişki: Efsane mi gerçek mi?

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, meteorolojik değişiklikler ile primer spontan pnömotoraks gelişimi arasındaki ilişki araştırıldı. Çalışma planı: Ocak 2010 - Ocak 2014 tarihleri arasında primer spontan pnömotoraks tanısı ile hastanemize başvuran 1097 hastanın (975 erkek, 122 kadın; ort. yaş 23.5±4.2 yıl; dağılım, 17-32 yıl) tıbbi kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Yerel meteoroloji gözlemevinden elde edilen hava sıcaklığı, rüzgar hızı, nem oranı ve atmosfer basıncı değerleri için günlük ortalama değerler kaydedildi. Dört yıllık çalışma periyodu en az bir primer spontan pnömotoraks gelişen (grup 1) ve primer spontan pnömotoraks gelişmeyen günler (grup 2) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular: Toplam 1461 günlük çalışma döneminde, primer spontan pnömotoraks gözlenen 759 gün içinde 1097 olgu kaydedildi. Hastaların %89'u erkekti. Gruplar arasında ortalama hava sıcaklığı, nem oranı ve rüzgar hızı açısından anlamlı farklılık yoktu. Atmosfer basıncı grup 1’de anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü (p

Correlation between meteorological changes and primary spontaneous pneumothorax: Myth or fact?

Background: This study aims to investigate the relationship between meteorological changes and the development of primary spontaneous pneumothorax.Methods: Medical records of 1,097 patients (975 males, 122 females; mean age 23.5±4.2 years; range, 17 to 32 years) admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of primary spontaneous pneumothorax between January 2010 and January 2014 were evaluated retrospectively. Daily mean values for air temperature, wind speed, humidity rate and atmospheric pressure values obtained from the local meteorological observatory were recorded. The four-year study period was separated into two groups as days with at least one primary spontaneous pneumothorax development (group 1) and days without any primary spontaneous pneumothorax development (group 2).Results: Within the study period of a total of 1,461 days, 1,097 cases were recorded in 759 days during which primary spontaneous pneumothorax was observed. Eighty-nine percent of the patients were male. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of mean air temperature, humidity rate, and wind speed. Atmospheric pressure was significantly lower in group 1 (p
