Comparison of the demographic and clinical features of pregnant and non-pregnant patients undergoing appendectomy

Öz:
BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aims to compare the demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of the pregnantand non-pregnant patients who underwent appendectomy with a presumed diagnosis of acute appendicitis.METHODS: Between June 2009 and January 2019, 431 reproductive-aged of female patients underwent appendectomy with a presumeddiagnosis of acute appendicitis. Patients were divided into two groups considering their pregnancy status: pregnant group (n=48)and non-pregnant group (n=383). Both groups were compared with respect to demographic, clinical and histopathological features.RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was found between pregnant and non-pregnant groups except total bilirubin level(p=0.019) and ultrasonographic findings (p=0.016). In the non-pregnant group, negative appendectomy and perforation rates were 26%and 10.5%, where these rates for the pregnant group were 20.8% and 4.2%. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy rates of ultrasonographyfor the pregnant group were 50%, 100% and 58.5%, where these rates for the non-pregnant group were 67.3%, 57.9% and 65%. Thepregnancy date was the first trimester in 52.1%, the second trimester in 29.2% and the third trimester in 16.7% of the pregnants. Noneof the term births (87.5%) resulted in neither a fetal nor a maternal complication. However, 12.5% of the preterm births resulted inneonatal mortality.CONCLUSION: Although not statistically significant, this study points out relatively lower rates of negative appendectomy andperforated acute appendicitis among pregnant patients, which is related to the overly attentive evaluation of pregnants admitted dueto acute abdomen.

Apendektomi yapılan gebe ve gebe olmayan hastaların demografik ve klinik özelliklerinin karşılaştırılması

Öz:
AMAÇ: Bu retrospektif çalışma akut apandisit ön tanısıyla apendektomi yapılan gebe ve gebe olmayan hastaların demografik ve klinikopatolojik özelliklerini karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Haziran 2009 ve Ocak 2019 tarihleri arasında üreme çağındaki 431 kadın hastaya akut apandisit ön tanısıyla apendektomi yapıldı. Hastalar gebelik durumları gözönünde bulundurularak iki gruba ayrıldı: Gebe grup (n=48) ve gebe olmayan grup (n=383). Her iki grup demografik, klinik ve histopatolojik özellikler yönünden karşılaştırıldı. BULGULAR: Gebe ve gebe olmayan gruplar arasında total bilirubin (p=0.019) ve ultrasonografik bulgular (p=0.016) dışında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı. Gebe olmayan grupta negatif apendektomi ve perforasyon oranları sırasıyla %26 ve %10.5 olarak hesaplanırken gebe grupta bu oranlar sırasıyla %20.8 ve %4.2 olarak hesaplandı. Ultrasonografinin gebe grubundaki sensistivite, spesifisite ve doğruluk oranları sırasıyla %50, %100 ve %58.5 olarak saptanırken gebe olmayan grupta bu oranlar sırasıyla %67.3, %57.9 ve %65 olarak bulundu. Gebelerin %52.1’i birinci trimesterda, %29.2’si ikinci trimesterda ve geriye kalan %16.7’si üçüncü trimesterdaydı. Miadında gerçekleşen doğumların (%87.5) hiçbirinde fetal veya maternal komplikasyon gelişmedi. Buna karşın preterm gerçekleşen doğumların (%12.5) ikisi neonatal mortalite ile sonuçlandı. TARTIŞMA: İstatistiksel olarak anlamlılık göstermemekle birlikte gebelerde negatif apendektomi ve perfore akut apandisit oranları gebe olmayan hastalara göre daha düşük bulundu ki bu durumun en önemli sebebi akut karın ile başvuran gebelerin klinik olarak daha hassas bir şekilde değerlendirilmesidir.
