Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease and the development of cervical dysplasia.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective case-control study that included 262 patients, 62 patients aged 18-65 years and 200 control group, who were followed up in a tertiary health center for MS disease. For the study, the primary outcome measure was to determine the frequency of cervical dysplasia in MS patients and to determine whether MS disease had an effect on Pap smear results. The secondary outcome measure was to determine the relationship between immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive treatment, two different types of treatment used for MS disease, and disease duration, with Pap smear results.
RESULTS: The difference between Pap smear results between MS patients and control group was not significant (p=0.938). In MS patients and control group, the most common Pap smear test result was found as inflammation (MS group: 61.9%; control group: 63%). Difference between Pap smear results between patients using immunomodulator and immunosuppressor drugs for MS treatment was not significant (p=0.988). Age and drugs used did not predict the Pap smear result (p=0.316).
CONCLUSIONS: In MS patients, the most common Pap smear change is inflammation. More studies are needed to understand the relationship between the duration of the disease and the type of medication used in treatment and Pap smear results.

MULTİPL SKLEROZ HASTALARINDA SERVİKAL DİSPLAZİ RİSKİ

Abstract

AMAÇ: Bu çalışmada, Multipl Skleroz (MS) hastalığının servikal displazi gelişimi ile ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçladık.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışma üçüncü basamak sağlık merkezinde MS hastalığı nedeniyle takip edilen 18- 65 yaş arası 62 hasta ve 200 kontrol grubu olmak üzere, toplam 262 hastayı içeren, retrospektif bir vaka kontrol çalışmasıdır. Çalışma için, birincil sonuç ölçütü, MS hastalarındaki servikal displazi sıklığının belirlenmesi ve MS hastalığının Pap- smear sonucuna etkisinin olup olmadığının saptanması iken, ikincil sonuç ölçütü, MS hastalığı için kullanılan iki farklı tedavi tipi olan, immunomodülatör ve immunsupresif tedavinin ve hastalık süresinin, Pap smear sonuçları ile ilişkisinin belirlenmesi idi.
BULGULAR: MS hastaları ile kontrol grubu arasında, Pap smear sonuçları arasındaki fark anlamlı değildi (p=0.938). MS hastaları ve kontrol grubunda, en sık tespit edilen Pap smear test sonucu, inflamasyon olarak bulundu (MS grubu: %61,9; kontrol grubu: %63) MS tedavisi için, immunomodülatör ve immunsupresör ilaç kullanan hastalar arasında, Pap smear sonuçları arasındaki fark anlamlı değildi (p=0.988). Yaş ve kullanılan ilaçlar Pap smear sonucunu predikte etmedi (p=0.316).
SONUÇ: MS hastalarında, en sık Pap smear değişikliği inflamasyondur. Hastalığın süresi ve tedavide kullanılan ilaç tipi ile, Pap smear sonuçları arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamak için daha fazla çalışma yapılması gerekir.
