| 1 | Gallbladder polyps: Factors affecting surgical decision显示文摘AIM: To determine the factors affecting the decision to perform surgery, and the efficiency of ultrasonography (USG) in detecting gallbladder polyps (GP). METHODS: Data for 138 patients who underwent cholecystectomy between 1996 and 2012 in our clinic with a diagnosis of GP were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data, clinical presentation, principal symptoms, ultrasonographic and histopathological findings were evaluated. Patients were evaluated in individual groups according to the age of the patients (older or younger than 50 years old) and polyp size (bigger or smaller than 10 mm) and characteristics of the polyps (pseudopolyp or real polyps). χ 2 tests were used for the statistical evaluation of the data. RESULTS: The median age was 50 (26-85) years and 91 of patients were female. Of 138 patients who underwent cholecystectomy with GP diagnosis, only 99 had a histopathologically defined polyp; 77 of them had pseudopolyps and 22 had true polyps. Twenty-one patients had adenocarcinoma. Of these 21 patients, 11 were male, their median age was 61 (40-85) years and all malignant polyps had diameters > 10 mm (P< 0.0001). Of 138 patients in whom surgery were performed, 112 had ultrasonographic polyps with diameters < 10 mm. Of the other 26 patients who also had polyps with diameters > 10 mm, 22 had true polyps. The sensitivity of USG was 84.6% for polyps with diameters > 10 mm (P < 0.0001); however it was only 66% in polyps with diameters < 10 mm. CONCLUSION: The risk of malignancy was high in the patients over 50 years old who had single polyps with diameters > 10 mm. | Pinar Sarkut Sadik Kilicturgay Ali Ozer Ersin Ozturk Tuncay Yilmazlar | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,28: | 12 |
| 2 | Assessment of germ cell apoptosis in cryptorchid rats显示文摘Aim:To investigate the relationship between germ cell edgeneration and apoptosis in cryptorchid rats.Methods:Thirteen21-day-oldWistar rats were made unilaterally cryptorchid by closing the left inguinal canal.At day30(Group1,n =6)and day60(Group2,n=7)after operation,the testes were removed for histopathological examination.30(Group1,n=6)and day60(Group2,n=7)after operation,the testes were removed for histopathological examination.The controls(n=8)were sham operated and were sacrificed at day60.Germ cell apoptosis was assessed by means of theTUNEL method.Results:Spermatogenesis was arrested and the testicular and seminiferous tubular diameters were significantly reduced In the Unilateral undescended testes(UUTs)compared with the contralateral descended testes(CDTs)and the control rats.However,atrophic changes,pathological calcification,necrosis of seminiferous tubule,and absence or sloughing of germ cells were not found in all the animals,The spermatocytes were the main type of germ cells undergoing apoptosis in all the groups.In the UUTs,there was a significant and time-dependent increase in the mean apoptotic index.By60days after surgery,increased apoptosis in gern cells was also observed in the CDTs.Conclusion:Apoptosis is the predominant mechanism of germ cell death rather than atrophy and necrosis in cryptorchidism. | IzzetKoak MehmetDündar Mine Hekimgil Pinar Okyay | 2002 | Asian Journal of Andrology2002,4,3: | 11 |

| 4 | Speech and language therapy for aphasia following subacute stroke显示文摘The aim of this study was to investigate the time window, duration and intensity of optimal speech and language therapy applied to aphasic patients with subacute stroke in our hospital. The study consisted of 33 patients being hospitalized for stroke rehabilitation in our hospital with first stroke but without previous history of speech and language therapy. Sixteen sessions of impairment-based speech and language therapy were applied to the patients, 30–60 minutes per day, 2 days a week, for 8 successive weeks. Aphasia assessment in stroke patients was performed with Gülhane Aphasia Test-2 before and after treatment. Compared with before treatment, fluency of speech, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, oral motor evaluation, automatic speech, repetition and naming were improved after treatment. This suggests that 16 seesions of speech and language therapy, 30–60 minutes per day, 2 days a week, for 8 successive weeks, are effective in the treatment of aphasic patients with subacute stroke. | Engin Koyuncu Pinar Cam Nermin Altinok Duygu Ekinci Calli Tuba Yarbay Duman Nese Ozgirgin | 2016 | Neural Regeneration Research2016,11,10: | 9 |
| 5 | Increased expression of YAP1 in prostate cancer correlates with extraprostatic extension显示文摘Objective:Yes associated protein 1(YAP1)is a member of the Hippo pathway,acting as a transcriptional coactivator.To elucidate the role of YAP1 and phosphorylated(p)YAP1 in prostate cancer(PCa)tumorigenesis,we investigated their expression in clinical samples of PCa and cell lines.Methods:Fifty-four tumor,adjacent nontumor,and prostate intraepithelial neoplasia(PIN)tissues from patients with PCa after radical prostatectomy were selected from a retrospective cohort and studied using immunohistochemistry(IHC).Protein and m RNA expression levels of YAP1 were evaluated by Western blot analysis and quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR,respectively,in cancer cell lines.Publicly available gene expression datasets were downloaded to analyze YAP1 m RNA and protein levels in PCa tissue samples.Results:IHC analysis of PCa tissues revealed that YAP1 staining intensities were moderate to weak in the nucleus and cytoplasm of tumor cells,whereas adjacent normal epithelia showed strong staining.We observed that benign prostates were characterized by higher expression levels of both nuclear(P=0.004)and cytosolic(P=0.005)YAP1.p YAP1 staining was weak in the cytoplasm and absent in the nucleus of all the tissues investigated.YAP1 expression was an indicator of extraprostatic extension(EPE).The level of YAP1 was negatively correlated with the level of the androgen receptor(AR)in The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset and Western blot analysis of cell lines.Conclusions:Our study suggested that YAP1 expression is heterogeneous in PCa tissue samples;therefore,YAP1 might play different roles in different aspects of PCa progression.This might involve AR–YAP1 interplay in PCa. | Filiz Kisaayak Collak Ummuhan Demir Seyma Ozkanli Esra Kurum Pinar Engin Zerk | 2017 | Cancer Biology & Medicine2017,14,4: | 8 |
| 6 | Neuroprotective effect of systemic and/or intravitreal rosuvastatin administration in rat glaucoma model显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the neuroprotective effect of rosuvastatin,in a rat experimental glaucoma model.· METHODS:Ocular hypertension was induced in right eyes of Long-Evans rats(n=30) by cauterization of three episcleral veins.Left eyes were defined as controls.Rats were divided into five groups:oral rosuvastatin,intravitreal rosuvastatin,oral +intravitreal rosuvastatin,intravitreal sham and glaucoma without intervention.Rats were sacrificed at day 14.Retinal ganglion cell(RGC) number was assessed by histopathological analysis.Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-nick end-labeling(TUNEL) staining and the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) in RGC layer was also examined.· RESULTS:A significant intraocular pressure(IOP)elevation was seen(P=0.002).Elevated IOP resulted in a significant decrease in number of RGCs in group 5(70.33±8.2 cells/mm^2) when compared with controls(92.50±13.72 cells/mm^2;P=0.03).The RGC number in group 1(92.4±7.3 cells/mm^2) was significantly higher than group 5(P=0.03).The numbers of RGC in groups 2,3(57.3±8.2 cells/mm^2,60.5±12.9 cells/mm^2) were comparable with that of group 5(P=0.18 and P=0.31).The apoptosis rates with TUNEL staining were also parallel to RGC number.Animals with experimentally induced glaucoma showed an increase in retinal GFAP immunoreactivity.· CONCLUSION:Decrease in RGC loss and apoptosis suggest the neuroprotective potential of oral rosuvastatin treatment in a rat model of ocular hypertension.However intravitreal rosuvastatin showed a contrary effect and further studies are required. | Metin Unlu Zeynep Aktas Pinar Uyar Gocun Sevil Ozger Ilhan Murat Hasanreisoglu Berati Hasanreisoglu | 2016 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2016,9,3: | 7 |
| 7 | Three-dimensional bioprinted glioblastoma microenvironments model cellular dependencies and immune interactions显示文摘Brain tumors are dynamic complex ecosystems with multiple cell types.To model the brain tumor microenvironment in a reproducible and scalable system,we developed a rapid three-dimensional(3D)bioprinting method to construct clinically relevant biomimetic tissue models.In recurrent glioblastoma,macrophages/microglia prominently contribute to the tumor mass.To parse the function of macrophages in 3D,we compared the growth of glioblastoma stem cells(GSCs)alone or with astrocytes and neural precursor cells in a hyaluronic acid-rich hydrogel,with or without macrophage.Bioprinted constructs integrating macrophage recapitulate patient-derived transcriptional profiles predictive of patient survival,maintenance of stemness,invasion,and drug resistance.Whole-genome CRISPR screening with bioprinted complex systems identified unique molecular dependencies in GSCs,relative to sphere culture.Multicellular bioprinted models serve as a scalable and physiologic platform to interrogate drug sensitivity,cellular crosstalk,invasion,context-specific functional dependencies,as well as immunologic interactions in a species-matched neural environment. | Min Tang Qi Xie Ryan C.Gimple Zheng Zhong Trevor Tam Jing Tian Reilly L.Kidwell Qiulian Wu Briana C.Prager Zhixin Qiu Aaron Yu Zhe Zhu Pinar Mesci Hui Jing Jacob Schimelman Pengrui Wang Derrick Lee Michael H.Lorenzini Deobrat Dixit Linjie Zhao Shruti B.hargava Tyler E.Miller Xueyi Wan Jing Tang Bingjie Sun Benjamin F.Cravatt Alysson R.Muotri Shaochen Chen Jeremy N.Rich | 2020 | Cell Research2020,30,10: | 6 |
| 8 | Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in ocular diseases: a systematic review显示文摘AIM: To summarize the results of studies investigating neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and to identify the role of NLR in ocular diseases. METHODS: With the aim of identifying the studies related to NLR, a search was conducted on http://gffzz16a62c593b5540cehp0b06v5u5pnp6nfu.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/pubmed by utilizing the key words 'neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, ocular diseases, and eye diseases' up to February 2018. All of the original articles were assessed according to date of publications, countries, clinics and topics. Studies about ocular inflammatory diseases were evaluated according to their qualifications, review methods and results. RESULTS: A total of 4473 publications, including original research articles and reviews were screened. The number of publications was shown a regular logarithmic increase over the years. The majority of studies were performed by clinics in Turkey and many of these publications were performed by oncology and cardiology clinics. A total of 75 publications were identified to be about ocular diseases. CONCLUSION: Elevated NLR as a cheap, reproducible, and readily available marker could be used as a diagnostic and/or prognostic marker in ocular diseases. | Bengi Ece Kurtul Pinar Altiaylik Ozer | 2019 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2019,12,12: | 6 |
| 9 | Endoscopic vs external dacryocystorhinostomy-comparison from the patients' aspect显示文摘·AIM: To compare the success and complication rates,duration of surgeries and clinical comfort after endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy(END-DCR) or external dacryocysto-rhinostomy(EXT-DCR).·METHODS: Fifty patients who underwent EXT- or END-DCR between January 2010-2012 were involved in the study. A questionnaire was applied to patients preoperatively, and postoperatively. Subjective success was defined by absence of epiphora, objective success by a normal nasolacrimal lavage and a positive functional endoscopic dye test(FEDT). Postoperative pain and cosmetic result of surgery were interpreted by the patients, who were also asked whether they would offer this surgery to a friend or would prefer this surgery once more if necessary.·RESULTS: Twenty-five patients underwent END-DCR and 25 underwent EXT-DCR. Mean duration of surgeries were 35 min both for EXT-DCR(30-50) and END-DCR(35-50)(P =0.778). Intraoperative bleeding were documented in 48% of EXT-DCR and 4% of END-DCR cases(P <0.001). In total 96% of EXT-DCR and 100% of END-DCR patients had subjective success. Objective success was 100% in each group. There was no significant difference between the epiphora scorings and FDDT results in postoperative visits among the groups.END-DCR group reported less pain in first week and month(P <0.05, P <0.05). More patients in END-DCR group were happy with the cosmetic result in first week and month(P <0.001, P <0.001). More patients in END-DCR group offered this surgery to a friend(P <0.001). All patients in END-DCR group preferred this surgery once more if necessary, only 48% in EXT-DCR preferred the same method(P <0.001).·CONCLUSION: Although both END- and EXT-DCRs provide satisfactory outcomes with similar objective andsubjective success rates, we demonstrated that the endonasal approach caused significantly less pain in early postoperative period than the external approach.Clinical comfort defined by the patients was quite higher in END-DCR group, in which patients mainly were pleased to encounter a sutureless surgical area. | Serdar Ozer Pinar A.

| 10 | Handgrip strength and health outcomes: Umbrella review of systematic reviews with meta-analyses of observational studies显示文摘Purpose:The aim of the present study was to assess both the credibility and strength of evidence arising from systematic reviews with meta-analyses of observational studies on handgrip strength and health outcomes.Methods:An umbrella review of systematic reviews with meta-analyses of observational studies was conducted.We assessed meta-analyses of observational studies based on random-effect summary effect sizes and their p values,95%prediction intervals,heterogeneity,small-study effects,and excess significance.We graded the evidence from convincing(Class I)to weak(Class IV).Results:From 504 articles returned in a search of the literature,8 systematic reviews were included in our review,with a total of 11 outcomes.Overall,nine of the 11 of the outcomes reported nominally significant summary results(p<0.05),with 4 associations surviving the application of the more stringent p value(p<106).No outcome presented convincing evidence.Three associations showed Class II evidence(i.e.,highly suggestive):(1)higher handgrip values at baseline were associated with a minor reduction in mortality risk in the general population(n=34 studies;sample size=1,855,817;relative risk=0.72,95%confidence interval(95%CI):0.670.78),(2)cardiovascular death risk in mixed populations(n=15 studies;relative risk=0.84,95%CI:0.780.91),and(3)incidence of disability(n=7 studies;relative risk=0.76,95%CI:0.660.87).Conclusion:The present results show that handgrip strength is a useful indicator for general health status and specifically for early all-cause and cardiovascular mortality,as well as disability.To further inform intervention strategies,future research is now required to fully understand mechanisms linking handgrip strength scores to these health outcomes. | Pinar Soysal Christopher Hurst Jacopo Demurtas Joseph Firth Reuben Howden Lin Yang Mark A.Tully Ai Koyanagi Petre Cristian Ilie Guillermo F.Lopez-Sanchez Lukas Schwingshackl Nicola Veronese Lee Smith | 2021 | Journal of Sport and Health Science2021,10,3: | 5 |
| 11 | Comparison of autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography findings in acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy显示文摘AIM:To discuss and compare the fundus autofluorescence(FAF)and optical coherence tomography(OCT)in acute or chronic central serous chorioretinopathy(CSCR).METHODS:Medical records of 100 cases of CSCR were reviewed.Acute and chronic cases were evaluated according to the duration of decreased visual acuity,serous retinal detachment(RD)and focal leakage on fluorescein angiography(FA).Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.RESULTS:Forty cases had acute and 60 cases had chronic CSCR.FAF showed focal hypo-autofluorescence in 34(85%)and iso-autofluorescence in 6(15%)of acute cases and hypo-autofluorescence in 51(85%),hyperautofluorescence in 6(10%)and iso-autofluorescence in3(5%)of chronic cases.OCT showed serous RD with distinct borders correlated with FAF findings(hypoautofluorescence)in all acute CSCR cases.In chronic CSCR group,OCT showed serous RD with indistinct borders correlated with FAF findings.The differences between the OCT and FAF findings of the two groups were significant(P=0.000).CONCLUSION:OCT and FAF findings can support the clinical observations in differential diagnosis of acute and chronic CSCR and help clinicians to evaluate retinal pigment epithelium,outer segments of photoreceptors and the components of serous RD. | Mehmet Yasin Teke Ufuk Elgin Pinar Nalcacioglu-Yuksekkaya Emine Sen Pinar Ozdal Faruk Ozturk | 2014 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2014,7,2: | 4 |

| 14 | A new approach to the surgical treatment of parasitic cysts of the liver:Hepatectomy using the liver hanging maneuver显示文摘AIM: To review 11 patients with parasitic cysts of the liver, who were treated by hepatic lobectomy using the liver hanging maneuver (LHM). METHODS: Between January 2003 and June 2006, we retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent surgical treatment due to parasitic cysts of the liver, at the Ege University School of Medicine, Department of General Surgery. Of these, the patients who underwent hepatic lobectomy using the LHM were reviewed and evaluated for surgical treatment outcome. RESULTS: Over a three-year period, there were 102 patients who underwent surgical treatment for parasitic cysts of the liver. Of these, 11 (10%) patients with parasitic cysts of the liver underwent hepatic lobectomy using the LHM. Presenting symptoms were abdominal pain, dyspepsia, and cholangitis. Cyst locations were as follows: right lobe filled with cyst, 7 (63%); segmental location, 2 (18%); and multiple locations, 2 patients (18%). All patients underwent hepatic lobectomy with an anterior approach using the LHM. The intraoperative blood transfusion requirement was one unit for 3 patients and two units for one patient. Postoperative complications included pulmonary atelectasy (2, 18%) and pleural effusion (2, 18%). No significant morbidity or mortality was observed. CONCLUSION: We concluded that hepatic lobectomy using the LHM should be considered, not only for hepatic tumors or donor hepatectomy, but also to treat parasitic cysts of the liver. | Aydin Unal Yazici Pinar Zeytunlu Murat Kilic Murat Coker Ahmet | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,28: | 4 |
| 15 | Tamarindus indica and its health related effects显示文摘Tamarindus[Tamarindus indica L.(T.Indira)],belongs to the family Leguminosae(Fabaceae),commonly known as Tamarind tree,is one of the fruit tree species that is used as traditional medicine.The aim of this article is to review the current literatue on health related effect of T.indir.a.Literature review about this plant was conducted between 2003 and 2014 through Pubmed and Google.The keywords Tamarind,T.indica were used for search.Only the health related articles selected.Tamarind tree is found especially in the Indian subcontinent,Africa,Pakistan,Bangladesh,Nigeria and most of the tropical countries.It is preferred to be used for abdominal pain,diarrhea and dysentery,some bacterial infections and parasitic infestations,wound healing,constipation and inflammation.It is a rich source of most of the essential amino acids and phytochemicals,and hence the plant is reported to possess antidiabetic,antimicrobial,antivenomic,antioxidant,antimalarial,cardioprotective,hepatoprotective,antiasthmatic,laxative and anti-hyperlipidemir activity.T.indica has ameliorative effects on many diseases.It can also be preferred as a nutritious support for malnourished patients as it is cheap and easy to access.Those effects should be clarified with further research. | Pinar Kuru | 2014 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2014,4,9: | 3 |
| 16 | 采用耐热乳酸脱氢酶制备生物传感器来检测汞和镍(英文)显示文摘分析了采用耐热细菌LDH酶制备的生物传感器对汞和镍的响应性。将酶纯化、固定在一个涂有PGA-吡咯聚合材料的金箔上作为工作电极,在增加溶液中乳酸浓度的情况下测定生物传感器对两种不同浓度的汞和镍溶液的响应性。当溶液中含25×10-7mmol/L汞和17×10-5mmol/L镍时,生物传感器的电流响应分别从0.32μA下降到0.09μA和从4.13μA下降到2.63μA。在含25×10-7mmol/L汞溶液中,生物传感器的敏感性从0.0102μA/(mmol·L-1)下降到0.0043μA/(mmol·L-1)。另一方面,镍的存在并没有导致传感器敏感性的降低。结果表明,制备的生物传感器适合用于含汞和镍溶液中的汞检测。 | brahim TAN Elif ERHAN Pinar KARAGZ Melek ZKAN | 2011 | Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China2011,21,10: | 3 |
| 17 | Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with situs inversus totalis显示文摘Currently, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is an undoubtfully optimal treatment of cholelithiasis. What about performing this procedure on a patient with situs inversus totalis and what are the difficulties of this operation for a right-handed surgeon? We presented a 35-year-old man with unknown situs inversus totalis who was admitted with epigastric pain and digestive problems. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of the abdomen confirmed the diagnosis of a gallstone. Besides, the liver and gallbladder were on the left side and the spleen was on the right. All systems were left-right reversal as mirror image in all diagnostic studies. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was safely performed, despite of difficulties of situs inversus. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 1. It should be considered that existence of other anomalies may easily cause uninvited injuries. In the patients with situs inversus, laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be safely managed by an experienced surgeon through laparoscopy, and also hepatobiliary surgery. | Unal Aydin Omer Unalp Pinar Yazici Baris Gurcu Murat Sozbilen Ahmet Coker | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,47: | 3 |
| 18 | Discussion on“Empirical methods for determining shaft bearing capacity of semi-deep foundations socketed in rocks”[J Rock Mech Geotech Eng 6(2017)1140-151]显示文摘A new comprehensive set of data(n = 178) is compiled by adding a data set(n = 72) collected by Arioglu et al.(2007) to the data set(n = 106) presented in Rezazadeh and Eslami(2017). Then, the compiled data set is evaluated regardless of the variation in lithology/strength. The proposed empirical equation in this study comprises a wider range of uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)(0.15 MPa < σ_(rc) <156 MPa) and various rock types. Rock mass cuttability index(RMCI) is correlated with shaft resistance(r_s) to predict the shaft resistance of rock-socketed piles. The prediction capacity of the RMCI versus r_s equation is also found to be in a fair good agreement with the presented data in Rezazadeh and Eslami(2017). Since the RMCI is a promising parameter in the prediction of shaft resistance, the researchers in the rock-socketed pile design area should consider this parameter in the further investigations. | Ergin Arioglu Pinar Toru Seker Hasan Burak Gokce | 2018 | Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering2018,10,3: | 3 |
| 19 | Delaying surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy improves prognosis of rectal cancer显示文摘AIM To investigate the prognostic effect of a delayed interval between neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(CRT) and surgery in locally advanced rectal cancer.METHODS We evaluated 87 patients with locally advanced mid-or distal rectal cancer undergoing total mesorectal excision following an interval period after neoadjuvant CRT at ?i?li Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital,Istanbul between January 2009 and January 2014.Patients were divided into two groups according to the intervalbefore surgery: < 8 wk(group Ⅰ) and ≥ 8 wk(group Ⅱ).Data related to patients,cancer characteristics and pathological examination were collected and analyzed.RESULTS When the distribution of timing between group Ⅰ(n = 45) and group Ⅱ(n = 42) was viewed,comparison of interval periods(median ± SD) of groups showed a significant difference of as 5 ± 1.28 wk in group Ⅰ and 10.1 ± 2.2 wk in group Ⅱ(P < 0.001).The median follow-up period for all patients was 34.5(9.9-81) mo.group Ⅱ had significantly higher rates of pathological complete response(p CR) than group Ⅰ had(19% vs 8.9%,P = 0.002).Rate of tumor regression grade(TRG) poor response was 44.4% in group Ⅰ and 9.5% in group Ⅱ(P < 0.002).A poor pathological response was associated with worse disease-free survival(P = 0.009).The interval time did not show any association with local recurrence(P = 0.79).CONCLUSION Delaying the neoadjuvant CRT-surgery interval may provide nodal down-staging,improve p CR rate,and decrease the rate of TRG poor response. | Mehmet Mihmanli Esin Kabul Gürbulak Ismail Ethem Akgün Mustafa Fevzi Celayir Pinar Yazici Deniz Tuncel Tuba Tülin Bek Ayhan Oz Sinan Omeroglu | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2016,8,9: | 3 |
| 20 | What is the relationship between frailty and orthostatic hypotension in older adults?显示文摘Background Frailty and orthostatic hypotension (OH),which is common in older adults,is associated with morbidity and mortality.The relationship between them remains unclear.The aim of the study is to determine whether there is a relationship between frailty and OH.Methods A total of 496 patients who were admitted to the geriatric clinic and underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment were retrospectively reviewed.In a cross-sectional and observational study,OH was measured by the Head-up Tilt Table test at 1,3,and 5 min (respectively,OH1,OH3,and OH5) and the frailty was measured by the Fried’s frailty scale.Results The mean age of all patients was 75.4 ± 7.38.The prevalence of females was 69.8%.When the frail people were compared with the pre-frail and the robust ones,the frailty was associated with OH1.There was no relationship between the groups in terms of OH1 when the pre-frail group was compared with the robust group.OH3 were higher in the frail group than in the pre-frail group (P < 0.05) and the OH5 were higher in the frail group than in the pre-frail and robust group (P < 0.05),but OH3 and OH5 were not associated with frailty status when they were adjusted for age (P > 0.05).Slowness and weakness were associated with OH1 (P < 0.05),whereas the other components of the Fried’s test were not.Conclusions Frailty may be a risk factor for OH1.The 1^st min measurements of OH should be routinely evaluated in frail older adults to prevent OH-related poor outcomes. | Suleyman Emre Kocyigit Pinar Soysal Esra Ates Bulut Ali Ekrem Aydin Ozge Dokuzlar Ahmet Turan Isik | 2019 | Journal of Geriatric Cardiology2019,16,3: | 3 |
