    (2009) Musellim B.; Kumbasar O.O.; Ongen G.; Cetinkaya E.; Turker H.; Uzaslan E.; Yenturk E.; Uzun O.; Saglam L.; Celik G.; Okumus G.; Annakkaya A.N.; Altiay G.; Tabak L.; Sakar A.; Kiter G.; Erturan S.; Turktas H.; Yalniz E.; Akkoclu A.; Ogus C.; Dogan O.T.; Ozkan M.; Aktogu S.; Uzel I.
    Epidemiological characteristics of sarcoidosis differ according to geographical distribution. The aim of our study was to disclose epidemiological characteristics in our country. The data was collected from investigators, who sent information on newly-diagnosed patients via internet. In 2 years 198 female and 95 male patients were enrolled to the study (f/m:2.08). Mean age of patients was 44 ± 13 years (17-90). Mean age of male patients was 38 ± 12 while mean age of female patients was 48 ± 13 (p < 0.001). 73.4% of patients were nonsmokers (85.4% of females; 48.4% of males; (p < 0.001)). About 50% of our 293 patients were housewives. Familial sarcoidosis was found in 3 patients' first degree relatives. Estimated annual incidence of sarcoidosis for Turkey was calculated as 4 per 100,000 person. According to our study, 2/3 of sarcoidosis patients were women; mean age of patients was 45 and the disease began 10 years later in female patients. 80% of patients were nonsmokers; negative relation between sarcoidosis and smoking was evident especially in women. Familial sarcoidosis frequency was lower compared to other studies in the literature. There was no occupational exposure history in our patients. Our incidence rate, is similar with the results of other European studies. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Extrapulmonary involvement in patients with sarcoidosis in Turkey
    (2011) Okumus G.; Musellim B.; Cetinkaya E.; Turker H.; Uzaslan E.; Yenturk E.; Uzun O.; Saglam L.; Kumbasar O.O.; Celik G.; Annakkaya A.N.; Altiay G.; Tabak L.; Sakar A.; Kiter G.; Erturan S.; Turktas H.; Yalniz E.; Akkoclu A.; Ogus C.; Dogan O.T.; Ozkan M.; Aktogu S.; Uzel I.; Ongen G.
    Background and objective: Extrapulmonary sarcoidosis is common, and is almost always associated with concomitant thoracic involvement. Extrapulmonary manifestations vary on the basis of gender, age at presentation and ethnicity. The aim of this study was to investigate extrapulmonary involvement in patients with sarcoidosis in Turkey. Methods: This study was conducted by Turkish Thoracic Society Clinical Problems Study Group.New cases of sarcoidosis between 1 June 2004 and 31 May 2006 were recorded on electronic case record forms sent to all potential investigators and information about extrapulmonary involvement was collected. Results: One hundred and nineteen of 293 patients (83 female, 36 male, mean age = 45 ± 12 years) had extrapulmonary involvement in this study (40.6%).The median time to diagnosis was 6 months and this was longer than patients with just thoracic sarcoidosis (P = 0.001). Extrapulmonary symptoms were present in 181 (61.8%) patients,and skin lesions, arthralgia and back pain were the commonest (33.4%, 20.8% and 16.4%, respectively). Incidence of organ involvement was independent of age with the exception of ocular involvement, which was higher in those under the age of 40 years (P = 0.007). Conclusions: Skin and peripheral lymph node involvement were the most common sites of extrapulmonary involvement and ocular involvement was more common in those under the age of 40 years in patients with sarcoidosis in a Turkish population. © 2011 The Authors Respirology © 2011 Asian Pacific Society of Respirology.

    Epidemiology and distribution of interstitial lung diseases in Turkey
    (2014) Musellim B.; Okumus G.; Uzaslan E.; Akgün M.; Cetinkaya E.; Turan O.; Akkoclu A.; Hazar A.; Kokturk N.; Calisir H.C.; Sever F.; Kiter G.; Celik G.; Bilgin S.; Kurutepe M.; Uzun O.; Tabak L.; Ozdemir O.; Turker H.; Ogus C.; Kiral N.; Ozkan M.; Yalniz E.; Camsari G.; Dogan T.; Yilmaz U.; Cildag O.; Yildiz F.; Hanta I.; Oztuna F.; Arik D.; Goktalay T.; Kanmaz D.; Yilmaz V.; Altiay G.; Komurcuoglu B.; Ozkan G.; Erbaycu A.; Dogrul M.I.; Ongen G.; Tuncay E.; Dabak G.; Sakar A.; Bircan A.; Uzel I.; Kalpaklioglu F.; Gülbay B; Bulbul Y.; Gulbanu H.; Havlucu Y.; Ekici Z.; Zamani A.; Caglayan B.; Kayacan O.; Dursunoglu N.
    Introduction: There is very few data on the epidemiological features of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) in the literature. These studies on this subject suffer from limited number of patients. Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological features of ILD in Turkey. Methods: Fifty-four investigators, 31 centres in 19 cities from six regions of Turkey, participated in the study. Two thousand two hundred forty-five newly diagnosed patients (51.8% females), led by Turkish Thoracic Society Clinical Problems Study Group, enrolled in this prospective study. Results: The mean age was 51.8±16.7 years. The mean age among males was 50.5±18.6 years and 53.0±14.6 years among females (P<0.001). 23.8% of the cases had ILD with known causes, while 39.4% were in granulomatous group, 23.7% were idiopathic, and 4.4% were in the unclassified group. Overall, histopathologically confirmed diagnosis rate was 40.4%. Sarcoidosis was the most common disease (37%), whereas cases with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) constituted 19,9% of patients. 53% of the sarcoidosis patients were females, and the ratio reaches to 75% under 50 years of age (for this group, IPF ratio is %3). In contrast, sarcoidosis and IPF ratios were equal in males (25%). Sarcoidosis was 8% in men over 50, while IPF was %45. Conclusion: The overall incidence of ILD in Turkey was computed to be 25.8/100000. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

    Background: Appendicitis is the most prevalent surgical emergency. The negative appendicectomy rate and diagnostic uncertainty are important concerns. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of current appendicitis risk prediction models in patients with acute right iliac fossa pain. Methods: A nationwide prospective observational study was conducted, including all consecutive adult patients who presented with right iliac fossa pain. Diagnostic, clinical and negative appendicectomy rate data were recorded. The Alvarado score, Appendicitis Inflammatory Response (AIR), Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha Appendicitis (RIPASA) and Adult Appendicitis Score systems were calculated with collected data to classify patients into risk categories. Diagnostic value and categorization performance were evaluated, with use of risk category-based metrics including 'true positive rate' (percentage of appendicitis patients in the highest risk category), 'failure rate' (percentage of patients with appendicitis in the lowest risk category) and 'categorization resolution' (true positive rate/failure rate). Results: A total of 3358 patients from 84 centres were included. Female patients were less likely to undergo surgery than men (71.5% versus 82.5% respectively; relative risk 0.866, 95% c.i. 0.834 to 0.901, P < 0.001); with a three-fold higher negative appendicectomy rate (11.3% versus 4.1% respectively; relative risk 2.744, 95% c.i. 2.047 to 3.677, P < 0.001). Ultrasonography was utilized in 56.8% and computed tomography in 75.2% of all patients. The Adult Appendicitis Score had the best diagnostic performance for the whole population; however, only RIPASA was significant in men. All scoring systems were successful in females patients, but Adult Appendicitis Score had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value. The RIPASA and the Adult Appendicitis Score had the best categorization resolution values, complemented by their exceedingly low failure rates in both male and female patients. Alvarado and AIR had extremely high failure rates in men. Conclusion: The negative appendicectomy rate was low overall, but women had an almost three-fold higher negative appendicectomy rate despite lower likelihood to undergo surgery. The overuse of imaging tests, best exemplified by the 75.2% frequency of patients undergoing computed tomography, may lead to increased costs. Risk-scoring systems such as RIPASA and Adult Appendicitis Score appear to be superior to Alvarado and AIR. © 2024 The Author(s).
