    Turkish assessment of SURF (SUrvey of Risk Factor Management) study: Control rates of cardiovascular risk factors derived from databases of 15 different levels of health centers in Turkey
    (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017-01-01) Tokgozoglu, Lale; Oguz, Aytekin; Balci, Mustafa Kemal; Temizhan, Ahmet; Altunoglu, Esma Guldal; Bektas, Osman; Aslan, Guler; Iyigun, Ozgun; Kara, Ahmet; Pinar, Handan Tanriverdi; Yavuz, Saffet; Tekin, Murat; Ercan, Saffet; Celik, Selda; Mericliler, Ozlem Sezgin; Cakir, Irem Bozkurt
    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the adherence to recommendations for secondary prevention and the achievement of treatment targets for the control of risk factors in patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD) who were followed-up at various healthcare facilities in Turkey. Methods: According to the protocol of the international Survey of Risk Factor Management study, questionnaire forms were completed and demographic, anthropometric, and laboratory data of CHD patients who were followed-up at a total of 15 selected primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare centers were recorded. Results: Among a total of 724 CHD patients (69.8\% male

    Seroprevalence of hepatitis B and C virus infections and risk factors in Turkey: a fieldwork TURHEP study
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2015-01-01) Tozun, N.; Ozdogan, O.; Cakaloglu, Y.; Idilman, R.; Karasu, Z.; Akarca, U.; Kaymakoglu, S.; Ergonul, O.
    The present study was designed to determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis B and C virus (HBV, HCV) infections and risk factors in the Turkish general population. Participants were enrolled from urban and rural areas of the predetermined 23 EUROSTAT NUTS 2 region. A two-stage stratified sampling method was used to select participants from these regions (n = 5460

    Maternal and perinatal outcomes of dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies diagnosed with vanishing twin syndrome: a retrospective analysis from a single clinical center
    (VIA MEDICA, 2018-01-01) Timur, Hakan; Aksoy, Rifat Taner; Tokmak, Aytekin; Timur, Burcu; Coskun, Bugra; Uygur, Dilek; Danisman, Nuri
    Objectives: Multiple pregnancies are known to be associated with adverse maternal and perinatal complications. However, data regarding the outcomes of spontaneously reduced twin pregnancies are limited. In the current study we aimed to evaluate the consequences of the vanishing twin syndrome (VTS) in dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies for both mother and baby in our perinatal center. Material and methods: A total of 711 pregnancies were included into the study. 51 cases of vanishing twin syndrome constituted Group 1, 235 cases of normal twins constituted Group 2, and 425 singleton pregnancies formed Group 3. The pregnancies that had multifetal reduction and monochorionic twinning were excluded from both study group and twin control group. The collected data were as follows: age, gravidity, parity, gestational week at birth, delivery route, birth weight, obstetric complications, and maternal and perinatal outcomes. Results: No significant difference was observed between the groups regarding mean maternal age (p > 0.05). Mean birth weight, gestational age at birth and preterm birth ratio were significantly lower in the Group 2 when compared with Group 1 and Group 3 (all p < 0.001). Adverse perinatal outcomes including very low birth weight (VLBV) and low Apgar scores were more common in Group 1 (p < 0.05), but no significant difference was found between the groups in terms of neonatal intensive care unit admission and perinatal mortality ratios (p > 0.05). Obstetric complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and intrauterine growth restriction were significantly higher in Group 2 than in Group 1 and Group 3 (all p < 0.05). However, severe maternal morbidities were similar among three groups (p = 0.141). Conclusions: VTS is seems to be associated with VLBV and low Apgar scores. However, the incidence of severe maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in pregnancies with VTS is similar to other pregnancies.

    Risk Factors in Pemphigus
    (DERI ZUHREVI HASTALIKLAR DERNEGI, 2011-01-01) Demirci, Gulsen Tukenmez; Mansur, Ayse Tulin; Aydingoz, Ikbal Esen
    Background and Design: There have been reports suggesting the involvement of environmental factors in the disease process of pemphigus. In this study, we aimed to find out the risk factors which could play role in the etiopathogenesis in our pemphigus patients. Material and method: A total of 42 patients (15 male and 27 female) who were diagnosed as pemphigus with histopathological and direct immunoflurosence examinations in our clinic between the years 1998-2004, were interviewed for assessment of regarding with the subjects of the demographic properties, occupational groups, educational level, the number of pregnancies, stressfull life events, diet habits, smoking and alcohol consumption before the onset of the disease and the results were compared to 42 age and gender-matched controls with similar socioeconomic circumstances. Results: Working in agriculture and livestock, multi-parity, absence of smoking and stressfull life events were found to be statistically significant in pemphigus patients than in controls. Conclusion: Working in agriculture and livestock, multi-parity, absence of smoking and stressfull life events were assumed to play role in the etiopathogenesis and course of pemphigus. (Turkderm 2011

    Possible Risk Factors Associated with Allergic Diseases Among Perinatal and Infancy Period
    (AVES, 2019-01-01) Aktas, Selma; Say, Aysu
    Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate perinatal and early-chihdood risk factors which facilitate development of allergic diseases. Methods: This study was held between the years 2009-2010 among allergic children (n=188) aged 1-16 years, followed in the Allergy Immunology outpatient clinic. The control group was composed of healthy chidren of healthcare personnel and healthy children followed in the outpatient clinic (n=72). A survey which examined the risk factors associated with asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis and urticaria-angioedema was used. Results: The number of male children in the case and control group was 106 (56.4\%) and 37 (48.6\%), respectively. The mean age of case and control group was 7.73 +/- 3.31 and 7.06 +/- 2.86 years, respectively. The mean age of patients diagnosed atopic dermatitis, asthma and allergic rhinitis was 1.77 +/- 1.30
