ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışma, gonartrozlu hastalarda tiroid fonksiyon
bozukluklarının ağrı ve fiziksel fonksiyon üzerindeki etkilerini
araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kellgren-Lawrence
(K/L) radyografik derecelendirme sistemine göre Grade 1-3 diz osteoartritli
gonartroz tanısı alan toplam 82 hasta dâhil edildi. Hastalar 2
gruba ayrıldı. Grup 1 (n=41) tiroid disfonksiyonlu gonartroz hastası,
Grup 2 (n=41) ise sadece gonartroz hastasıydı. Vizüel analog skala
(VAS) ve “Western Ontario ve McMaster Universities Osteoartritis
Index (WOMAC)” alt ölçek puanları gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Gruplar arasında; yaş, diz semptom süresi VAS, WOMACAğrı,
WOMAC-Sertlik ve K/L skorlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
bir fark yoktu. WOMAC-Fiziksel Fonksiyon skorları Grup 1’de istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p<0,05). Sonuç: Tiroid
disfonksiyonunun eşlik ettiği gonartrozlu hastalarda, fiziksel fonksiyon
düzeyi, tek başına gonartrozlu hastalara göre daha düşüktür. Polikliniklere
başvuran gonartrozlu hastalarda tiroid fonksiyon
bozukluklarının tedavi edilmesi fiziksel fonksiyon açısından yararlı olabilir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Gonartroz; ağrı; fiziksel fonksiyon; tiroid disfonksiyonu
ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of
thyroid dysfunction on pain and physical function in patients with gonarthrosis.
Material and Methods: A total of 82 patients with the diagnosis
of Grade 1-3 gonarthrosis according to the Kellgren-Lawrence
(K/L) radiographic grading system were included. Patients were divided
into 2 groups. Group 1 (n=41) included gonarthrosis patients with
thyroid dysfunctions, Group 2 (n=41) included gonarthrosis patients
with normal thyroid functions. Visual analog scale (VAS) and The
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index
(WOMAC) subscale scores were compared between the groups. Results:
There was no statistically significant difference in age, knee
symptom duration, VAS, WOMAC-Pain, WOMAC-Stiffness and K/L
scores between groups. The WOMAC-Physical Function score was significantly
higher in Group 1 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Physical function
level may be lower in gonarthrosis patients with thyroid dysfunction
than in patients with gonarthrosis alone. It may be useful for physical
function, to treat thyroid dysfunction in patients with gonarthrosis who
apply to outpatient clinics.
Keywords: Gonarthrosis; pain; physical function; thyroid dysfunction
