المستخلص: Background : Assessment of communicable diseases surveillance officers is regarded as one of important aspects for the detection of obstacles that prevent the development of surveillance system which would certainly affect the control programs of these diseases.Objective : To assess the background characteristics communicable diseases' surveillance officers at all district levels of all Iraqi provinces .Method : A cross sectional study from the 15th March to 30th September,2017 in which all the communicable diseases' surveillance officers (136) that are employed by MOH all over Iraq were included. A structured questionnaire developed by the researcher and explained during coordination meeting for the surveillance unit in DOH/ MOH. It was then sent by e mail to the surveillance focal persons in DOHs at the provinces level. The questionnaire form gathered demographic data, service characteristics and status of their competencies including : basic epidemiology, biostatistics, surveillance, outbreak investigation, rapid response to health incidence, laboratory models, developing scientific reports and the basic computers skills.Results : The response rate was 85.3%, about half of surveillance officers was responsible for less than 10 PHCC, while only 13.8% were responsible for 20 - 29 centres. More than half of surveillance officers (55.3%) were responsible for 1 - 2 hospitals, while only 9.6% were responsible for 3 - 4 hospitals. The age of study participants ranged between 21 and 62 years and the males constituted more than three quarters (78.4%) of the study sample, Diploma was the highest educational certificate. Those who did not attend any training activity constituted 15.6% of the study sample. Cholera was the most frequently reported incident investigated in an outbreak activity (53.8%). Food poisoning was the most frequently reported incident for a rapid response activity (43.8%).Microsoft word was the most frequently reported skill that reached the required level of proficiency (48.3%).Conclusions and recommendations : The health surveillance system in Iraq at district level was operated mainly by low qualified and under - trained health personnel. There is inequity in distribution of work load (regarding PHCCs and hospitals) and training sessions between surveillance officers in health offices, therefore redistribution is recommended which is the responsibility of health policy makers during the planning and implementing health programs.Supporting continuous training programs on epidemiology, biostatistics, outbreak investigation, computer skills and writing scientific research with increase incentives. Availability of computer and internet facilities must be financed.

المستخلص: Background : Hemophilia is an X - linked bleeding disorder that affects males mainly. Globally, there are about 400,000 people with hemophilia and only 25%of them receive adequate treatment. There is insufficient epidemiological data on hemophilia in Iraq, so this study was conducted to estimate the prevalence, incidence and other epidemiological characteristics of hemophilia patients in Baghdad, 2016.Methods : A cross sectional study was conducted by reviewing all records of hemophilia patients for 2016 that retrieved through visiting all hemophilia centers in Baghdad. Corresponding population data of Baghdad was obtained from the Ministry of Planning.Results : The total number of the registered hemophilia patients in Baghdad centers who are residents of Baghdad was 654. The current prevalence of hemophilia was 7.7/100,000 population and it was 3.6/100,000 population in 2007. The current incidence of hemophilia was 16.3/100,000 livebirths and it was 8.4/100,000 livebirths in 2007. Severe hemophilia represented 63.4% from all types and the male patients represented 97.1%. The prevalence of HCV was 22.9%, for HBV was 0.9% and 0.2% for HIV. Inhibitors werepositive in 11.6% of hemophilia patients. Target joints found among 45.1% of patients. About 27% of patients were on prophylactic therapy. Only one death was recorded among hemophilia patients in Baghdad, 2016.Conclusions : The prevalence and incidence of hemophilia in Baghdad was doubled in 10 years' period. We recommended establishing an electronic national registry to have a perfect database for hemophilia and enhancing the prophylactic treatment.

المستخلص: Background : Diarrhea is one of the principle causes of morbidity and mortality among children in developing countries. It was the second leading cause of death in children under five years, accounting for 9 % of all deaths among children under age 5 worldwide in 2015. Despite the availability of simple effective treatment, about 1,400 young children die each day which is equivalent to 526,000 children a year. According to Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS - 4), the incidence of diarrhea in Iraq was 15% .Theobjective of this study was to identify the incidence and deaths of acute diarrhea in children under five year in Iraq, 2016. Methods : A descriptive cross - sectional study by reviewing all reported data from the directorate of health all over Iraq to the surveillance section in the Communicable Diseases Control Center in Baghdad. Incidence and case fatality rate (CFR) for <5 years population were calculated.Results : The total number of acute diarrheal cases was 251,388. A total of outpatient was 211,665(84%) and 39723(16%) was admitted cases. Male to female ratio was 1.1 : 1. Incidence of acute diarrhea was 47/1,000, the highest incidence was in Diwaniya (119.2 / 1,000), Erbil (89.8 /1,000), and Thiqar (77/1,000). The total death due to acute diarrhea was 154, male : female ratio was 1.2 : 1 and most deaths occur in children <1year (60.4%). CFR was 0. 77/1,000, the highest case fatality rate was in : Baghdad - Karkh (3.70/1,000), Diyala (2.49/1,000), and Diwaniya (1.14/1,000).Proportional mortality rate (PMR) was 7.7/1,000; the highest PMR was in Diwaniya (24.8/1,000), Salah aldin (18.9/1,000), and Diyala (17.5/1,000). Percentage of ORS used was 85%.The completeness of reported site for all provinces was 88%.Conclusion Diarrhea is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five years, which need to pay more attention for PHC intersectoral cooperation and community participation, and encouragement of Breast feeding.

المستخلص: Vaccination is a great public health achievement in human history. Annually, vaccines prevent more than 2.5 million child deaths globally. In 2016, about 19.5 million infants worldwide were not covered by DTP3, 60% of them live in 10 countries including Iraq. According to WHO and UNICEF, one third of below one year infants did not complete their immunization schedule. Wasit is among the governorates with a large number of underimmunized children. High quality immunization session practices (ISPs) can ensure safer, more effective vaccination and higher coverage rates. Objectives : To assess ISPs in Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) in Wasit, and if ISPs are correlated to some PHCs’ characteristics.Methods : A cross sectional study was conducted on 14 PHCs. One fourth of PHCs in each district were selected using simple random sampling. Each PHC was visited once to assess ISPs, using a modified WHO immunization session checklists. Information on vaccinators and PHC’s were collected using two, self - designed questionnaires.Results : PHCs were scoring variably in ISPs, ranging from 0.52 to 0.78 with a mean of 0.68 ± 0.07. ISPs were grouped into seven domains (mean) : vaccine management (0.51), cold chain management (0.40), session equipment (0.88), communication (0.27), vaccine preparation and administration (0.72), registration (0.83) and waste management (0.84). Three of PHCs’ characteristics : population size, below one - year monthly target and average number of daily vaccinees showed statistically significant, negative correlation with ISPs which was of intermediate strength.Conclusion : None of the PHCs was practicing near standard ISPs. ISPs showed statistically significant, negative correlation, of intermediate strength with population size, below one - year monthly target and average number of daily vaccinees for each PHC

المستخلص: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.. There is an evidence to support a connection between COPD and diabetes mellitus Type 2 (T2DM). T2DM affects 2 - 37% of COPD patients, with results being highly variable between studies.Objective : To determine the prevalence of T2DM among COPD patients in severe and very severe stages of COPD patients. To assess the risk factors affecting the prevalence of T2DM among COPD patients. Subjects and methods A cross sectional study was conducted on 140 patients with COPD attending Out - patient and Inpatient of Respiratory Unit at Baghdad Teaching Hospital. The data were collected between the10th of October 2016 to the 10th of August 2017. These data included demographic parameters such as : age, sex, educational status, body mass index (BMI), smoking habit, and respiratory parameters from history& clinical examination. Spirometry was used to assess the severity of COPD patients. Random blood sugar testing was used for identification of COPD patients having T2DM when they are not clear or not known as a case of T2DM previously.Results : The prevalence of T2DM among COPD patients was 19.38%. (The prevalence of DM in those with severe stage was 10.9%, while in very severe stage was 35.4%).The prevalence of T2DM was higher in males than in females. The prevalence of T2DM was increased in the elderly COPD patients (>61 years). Increasing with increased BMI, and also VIP a g eincreased more among current smokers followed in order by former smokers and never smokers. Lung function tests decline more in COPD patients with presence of T2DM.Conclusions : Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is more prevalent among COPD patients; it increased with increased severity of the COPD patients and subjects with DM are at increased risk of declining pulmonary function among COPD patients.

المستخلص: Atherosclerosis is very common disease involving large and medium size arteries result in morbidity and mortality depend on site of vascular involvement. Aim of the study : To study the extent of other vascular beds involvement in patient presented with coronary artery disease.Patients & Methods : This study is prospective cross - sectional study of all patients who were referred Iraqi Center for heart disease, for further evaluation of suspected coronary artery disease(CAD) for the period August 2016 to February 2017. The total number of patients was one hundred ninety (190) ,all underwent full clinical evaluation, laboratory investigation including ECG, biochemical testing, echocardiography, coronary angiography,. demographic characteristics were recorded for all patients including ,age, gender, BMI, conventional risk factors, carotid IMT measurement by Doppler ultrasound and ABI by Doppler stethoscope was calculated. The study sample was divided into two groups according to the results of coronary angiography : group A, those with normal CA and group B, those with abnormal CA. A comparison was made between group A and B as regard to the results of IMT and ABI measurement and then the relation to demographic characteristics and other conventional risk factors. Then we study the subgroup with abnormal ABI & IMT in both group A and B, comparison was made between both subgroup in form , gender, age groups , mean age, and the detail of risk factors like hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus , BMI, family history of premature CAD and hyperlipidemia . Results : The mean age, patients above 60 y and men gender were higher in group A( 58.82), (52.09%) and (76.4%) than in group B (52.93) ,(25.4%) and 45.07% (p value 0.010)The study of risk factors in both groups demonstrate more prevalence of hypertension in group A (63.05%) than in group B (47.8%) , ( p value 0.0499), also significance difference in prevalence of diabetes mellitus and smoking (52.9%) and (43.6%) in group A and (26.7%) and (15.4%) in group B ( p value 0.0276 and 0.0437) , prevalence of hyperlipidemia was significantly higher in group A (55.4%) than in group B( 35.3%) (p value 0.0418) . family history of premature CAD and BMI were higher in group A (41.1%) and (40.3%) than in group B (33.8%) and (26.7%) but not statistically significant (p value 0.194 and 0.154 ) respectively.The prevalence of abnormal ABI and IMT were higher and statistically significant in group A (36.9%) and (77.3%) than in group B (15.4%)and (30.9%) (p value 0.002 and 0.001). The no. patients with abnormal both carotid IMT and ABI were higher in group A (37/44, 84.09%) than in group B (8/11, 72.7% ) , (p value 0.041), the mean age is higher and statistically significant in group A (68.49) than in group B (57.5) ( p value 0.030) , the male gender is higher and statistically significant in group A(33/37, 75%) than in group B (4/8, 50%) ( p value 0.010). the prevalence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus were higher and statistically significantly in group A (83.7%), (83.7%) and (75.6%) than in group B (75%) ,(62.5%) and (37.5%) (p value 0.0476, 0.0346 and 0.047) respectively. The prevalence of smoking , abnormal BMI and family history of premature CAD were higher but statistically insignificant in group A (67.5%) , (56.7%), and (48.6%) than in group B (37.5%), (37.5%) and (37.5%) (p value 0.0868, 0.146 and 0.2136) .Conclusion : Atherosclerosis is generalized process whenever found in certain vascular bed, we must think of other vascular beds involvement, the more risk factors burden the more likely involvement of other vascular bed and more sever disease to be expected.

المستخلص: Background : Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective - tissue disease characterized by excessive collagen deposition in the dermis and internal organs, and by vascular hyper - reactivity and obliterative microvascular phenomena. Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behavior, feelings, and sense of well - being.Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and predictors of major depressive disorder in Iraqi patients with SSc if present.Patients and methods : This case - control study involved 50 patients with SSc according to the criteria developed by the 2013 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism for the classification of systemic sclerosis ,and compared with another 51 healthy controls.Demographics and clinical data were collected including age, sex, BMI, smoking status, marital status, employment status, educational status, crowding index and disease duration. Disease activity for SSc was assessed with the SAQ. Medications used and autoantibody profile were collected.We applied DSM5 diagnostic criteria of all patients included .Results : The prevalence of major depressive disorder was (44% compared to control 2.0%), in which major depressive disorder 39.3 folds associated with SSc patients compared to control. A severe form of major depressive disorder was observed in (36.4 %) of SSc cases. Furthermore, cases with a severe form of disease evaluated by SAQ had an obviously higher rate of depression .Also the risk of having major depressive disorder was significantly correlated with smoking.Educational level had no statistically significant association with major depressive disorder, SSc cases with higher education(college) had the highest rate of major depressive disorder (36.4%) compared to a rate between 13.6% and 27.3% for lower level of educational attainment. The risk of having major depressive disorder was not different in the age, gender, marital status and employment status. The history of using each of prednisolone, DMARD and biological agents had statistically significant association with major depressive disorder. Also the presence of autoantibodies (anti centromer and anti Scl70 antibodies) had no statistically significant effect on the presence of major depressive disorder.Conclusions : The prevalence of major depressive disorder in systemic sclerosis patients was significantly higher in patients compared to controls.Severity of systemic sclerosis was increase the rate of major depressive disorder .

The risk of developing TB increases significantly with the drop of immunity.Using steroid (prednisolone or its equivalent) at a dose of more than 15 mg/day more than 4 weeks is associated with significant drop in immunity, hence increasing the risks of being infected with TB to eight folds Aim of the studyIn this study we tried to assess the risk of developing TB infection in asthmatic patients that use steroid in their asthma treatment regime.Materials& MethodsA prospective study designed to include patients complaining from Asthma who have visited Baghdad teaching hospital in the period from (June 2016 to June 2017) that included in - patients and out - patients A questionnaire prepared to document the related information of most concern to the researcher and for the sake of study. ResultsIn this study, we managed to enroll 60 patients. Male to female ratio was 7 : 23. 80% of the study cohort lived in urban residence, and 20 % in suburban neighborhood. 33.3% of the patients had diabetes as comorbidity. 21.7 % of the patients used inhaled steroid as a modality of management of asthma, while 45% used systemic steroids, and 33.3 % used combined modality. Of the study cohort, 18.3 % used steroid for no more than 4 weeks, and the rest used it for more than 4 weeks. Regarding tuberculin test results, 11.7 % test positive.A significant correlations were found between the tuberculin test and the increasing age of the patient p=0.01, and the TST and the duration of use of steroids p=0.001, also, between TST and previous history of TB p=0.04. ConclusionData analysis of our study have revealed the following points1. There is no relationship between the type of steroid and the risk of getting TB infection2. The risk of steroid on immune system and the raise of risk increase with increasing subject age3. The extended period of exposure to steroid will definitely increase the risk of TB infection Recommendations Our research have been conducted in a period of almost one year and included only the patients that visited the outpatients and in - patients ward of Baghdad Teaching hospital.We recommend to carry on a larger scale research and include more than one respiratory center across the country to obtain a more conclusive picture regarding the risk of catching TB infection after using steroid.A larger scale research will obtain more data and will elucidate the sensitivity and specificity of the contribution of steroid to development of TB, and to clarify more concerning the dose, type, and duration of exposure

In Iraq breast cancer constitute 18.96 % of all other types of cancers up to 2011. One of the main steps in the management of early breast cancer is radiotherapy.Aim of studyTo shade the light on the radiation therapy effect on the ejection fraction of the heart in breast cancer patients.Patients and methodsThis is a prospective observational study that was conducted in Radiotherapy and nuclear medicine center of the oncology teaching hospital/medical city complex using Echo cardiograph for following up the patients. Data recruitment included patients received Adjuvent 3D conformal radiotherapy as a whole breast irradiation or as a chest wall irradiation from August/2016 to January/2017 and followed with Echo study four months later until January/2017.ResultsIn our registry 50 patients were recorded; patient’s age was between 32 and 70 years old female gender. We found that there was a significant effect of radiation on the ejection fraction percentage of pre radiotherapy and post radiotherapy of both radiotherapy doses (P - value=0.001).2We noticed that patients with left sided breast whom received 4260 centigray had the highest significant result of a mean difference of pre - radiation =66%, and post radiotherapy =65.5 %.Also we noticed that patients whom had received 5000 centigray of either left or right sided breast cancer, have substantial difference between pre - radiotherapy of 66.3% and 66.8% to 64.3% and65.2% for right and left side respectively.ConclusionIn patients with breast cancer treated with adjuvant 3D conformal radiotherapy as a whole breast irradiation or as a chest wall irradiation, an evaluation for the cardiac ejection fraction after four months of completing their radiotherapy, to either right sided or left sided breast, there was a marked difference in the ejection fraction size between the left sided treated BC and right sided BC, and between different doses mainly due to scattered and transmitted irradiation to the coronary arteries.

المستخلص: Background : Tobacco is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Low and middle income countries (LMICs) are the most severely affected (1). The shisha is used to smoke specially made tobacco by heating the tobacco indirectly, usually with burning charcoal or embers, filtering the smoke through a bowl of water (sometimes mixed with other liquids such as wine) and then drawn to a mouthpiece through a rubber hose (6). Shisha has been shown to be associated with a wide range of detrimental health effects and smoking shisha is associated with three main detrimental health effects : CV damage, infection and cancer formation (30)P.The Objective of this study is to measure the prevalence of shisha smoking among medical students at College of Medicine & College of Dentistry - Baghdad University, Identify the characteristics of Shisha smokers that have numerous public health and clinical implications and to identify factors associated with shisha smoking.Subjects and Methods : A cross - sectional study was conducted on a sample of 654 students at the College of Medicine and College of Dentistry in Baghdad University from the 1st of February till the 30th of June 2017. Under graduate students from the selected colleges were included. A questionnaire was used to gather the necessary information and filled by the study participants themselves. It included questions to gather information on certain socio - demographic variables, the family of the participants, and believes about smoking. Information about shisha smoking, medical history and habits of the participants and their parents were gathered.Results : This study involved 654 students. The mean age of the participants was 20.6±1.93 years; 64.7% were females; 95.9% were currently single; and 90.6% were from Baghdad.About 44.6% were in the 2nd stage; 91.4% were living with family; 70.4% were living with crowding index 1 - 2. Regarding parents of participants, 90.9% of fathers andII81.2% of mothers were highly educated; 82.8% of fathers and 88.6% of mothers were present and live with; and 49.1% of fathers and 49.4% of mothers were governmental employees.The prevalence of shisha smoking was 12.1%; 57.5% of them were smoking for more than three years, 76.2% preferred café for smoking; 87.5% preferred friends for smoking with. The factors that significantly associated with prevalence of shisha smoking were (gender, address, marital status, living condition, presence of private work, parents smoking history, and belief about which type of smoking is more harmful).Conclusion : Although the prevalence of shisha smoking was still not high (12.1%), it was increasing during the last few years and becoming a community acceptable behavior, especially among college students. There was a significant positive effect for male gender, being divorced or widowed, living alone and outside Baghdad, and having own job on smoking prevalence among students. Also parent's positive history of tobacco smoking and students beliefs about shisha and cigarette harm were significantly associated with the use of shisha.

Cellular studies have nevertheless demonstrated that depending on its chemical microenvironment, uric acid may also be pro - oxidant. Bone mineral density measurements are widely used to diagnose osteoporosis and measurement in bone mass are commonly used as a surrogate for fracture risk . Bone mineral density is the measured parameter, and allows the calculation of the bone mineral content in grams and the two - dimensional projected area in square centimeter of the bone being measured; thus the units of is gram per square centimeter. Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the serum uric acid and bone mineral density in a sample of middle and elderly Iraqis Patients and methods : This cross - sectional study involved sixty participants , thirty five were female and twenty five were male, based on exclusion (systemic rheumatic diseases , malignancy , gout , chronic kidney and liver diseases, diabetes mellitus , thyroid disease, pregnancy, medications : thiazide , calcium , vitamin D, steroid , bisphosphonate) and inclusion (Iraqi consenting men and women , aged from forty to seventy years) criteria. Demographics and clinical data were collected including age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, employment, educational status, menstrual history, level of physical activity, comorbidities .Serum uric acid was measured and bone mineral density was calculated for each individual by dual energy x ray absorptiometry scan , Z - score and T - score at first lumbar - forth lumbar spine and right femoral neck were measured . Results : There is weak direct relationship between bone mineral density, T and Z score with uric acid (stronger in bone mineral density than the others probability value ( 0.176) in lumber spine bones for all patients , but no relationship was found between bone mineral density , with uric for right femoral neck in all participants probability values (0.346) , while in females, there was no relationship between uric acid and bone mineral density , T and Z score of the lumbar vertebral spine , while; there was weak inverse relationship between bone mineral density , T and Z score with uric acid in right femoral bone . In postmenopausal female; in lumbar vertebral spine bone there was weak direct relationship between uric acid with bone mineral , Z and T score, while; in right femoral bone there was no relationship between uric acid with bone mineral density , Z and T score. In males for right femoral bone; there was significant direct relationship between bone mineral density with uric acid probability value (0.04), while the relationship between uric acid with T and Z score was non - significant (however it is direct and weak correlation),while ; no relationship was observed between uric acid with bone mineral density, T and Z score for lumbar vertebral spine bones.Conclusion : Significant direct relationship was found between bone mineral with uric acid , so uric acid is protective against bone loss in male

المستخلص: Background : Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the insulin producing cells in the pancreas and destroy them, it is also called ( Juvenile diabetes) because it mainly occurs in children and teenagers , though it can develop at any age. The study of epidemiology of T1DM in Basrah showed that the overall mean age at first diagnosis was 15.3 ± 9 years and it was significantly higher in men. The prevalence was 87 per 100,000 and it is lower than neighboring countries. The average annual incidence rate of type 1 diabetes was 7.4 per 100,000 which place Iraq in the intermediate group. This provided a baseline for assessing future changes in the epidemiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus in Iraq.Objectives : To describe pattern of feeding during infancy among children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, frequency of childhood infections (Measles and Mumps), and prevalence of autoimmune disease in children with T1DM.Patients and methods : A cross sectional study was carried out at Central Child teaching hospital and Al Yarmook teaching hospital, Iraq. A total of 248 patients with type 1 diabetes who attended the consultation clinic in the period from February 1st to the 30th of May,2017, and were investigated in order to describe the patterns of feeding in infancy, frequency of childhood infections )measles and mumps), and also prevalence of autoimmune disease in children with T1DM.Results : The mean age of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes among children was 5.7 years ± 3.3 and the mean weight of children at delivery was 3.2 Kg± 0.6 . The sociodemographic distribution showed that 38% of cases occurred in the 5 - 8 years age group followed by 8 - 11 years age group which accounts for 30.6% of cases. Sex distribution was nearly equal with slight male predominance. 50.8% of T1DM children have a positive family history for diabetes, most of them had a history of type 2 Dm (38.7%), and (9.3%) of type 1 DM, while 7% had both type 1 and 2. Only 23.4 % of cases have positive family history of other autoimmune diseases (autoimmune thyroid disease, celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, vitiligo, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, pernicious anemia, psoriasis, Addison disease). About 23 % of children had autoimmune illnesses other than diabetes. More than 61% of patients with T1DM had exclusive bottle feeding history, 30% had exclusive breast feeding history, while 8.5 % had mixed feeding history.Conclusion• About two thirds of children with type 1 DM were bottle fed.• About a quarter of children with T1DM had autoimmune diseases other than diabetes.• The sociodemographic aspects showed that more children were diagnosed in the 5 - 8 years, those with urban residence were found to be more frequent than those with rural residence while frequency of T1DM was almost the same in males and females, more parents were with no college education.• Only a small proportion of children had a positive pre - diagnosis Measles and Mumps infections if they achieve the milestone of 1 year.Keywords : T1DM, bottle feeding, autoimmune diseases

المستخلص: خلفية البحث : التهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي هو التهاب مناعي ذاتي جهازي مزمن يصيب المفاصل واجهزة الجسم الاخرى. متوسط حجم الصفائح الدموية هو جزء من اختبار العد الكامل للدم ويرتبط مع وظيفة الصفائح الدموية وفاعليتها. عرض توزيع الخلايا الحمراء هو جزء من اختبار العد الكامل للدم ويقدر تغيرات كريات الدم الحمراء.الهدف : لتقييم عرض توزيع الخلايا الحمراء ومتوسط حجم الصفائح الدموية في مصل المرضى الذين يعانون من التهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي وتقييم علاقاتهما مع الخصائص الديموغرافية والسريرية الاساسية للمرضى.المرضى والطرائق : شملت دراسة تضبيط الحالة هذه تشخيص ما مجموعه 111 مريضا مصابا بمرض التهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي (98 انثى : 13 ذكرا) وفقا لمعايير التصنيف الامريكية لامراض الروماتيزم / الرابطة الاوروبية لمكافحة الروماتيزم لالتهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي، متوافقين بالعمر والجنس مع 97 شخصا من الاصحاء كمجموعة ضبط (سيطرة) (76 انثى : 21 ذكر). وتم قياس كل من البيانات الديموغرافية، ودرجات نشاط المرض، والتاريخ الطبي، والادوية المستعملة، والعامل الروماتويدي، ومضاد سيترولينيتد الببتايد الضد ، ومعدل ترسيب كريات الدم الحمراء ، واختبار العد الكامل للدم.النتائج : كان متوسط العمر للمرضى والسيطرة 46.53 ± 11.89 و48.19 ± 12.06 سنة على التوالي (p=0,321). لم تكن فروقات متوسط حجم الصفائح لمرضى التهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي (8.0 ± 1.4) والسيطرة (7.7 ± 1.2) معتد احصائيا(P=0.4)، بينما وجد ان عرض توزيع الخلايا الحمراء اعلى بكثير في المرضى (14.5 ± 2.8) مقارنة مع مجموعة الضبط (12.4 ± 1.1) (p => 0.001). لم يكن هناك ارتباط معنوي بين عرض توزيع الخلايا الحمراء ومتغيرات مختلفة كـ(العمر، مؤشر كتلة الجسم ، مدة المرض، درجة فاعلية المرض 28، ومؤشر نشاط المرض السريري، معدل ترسيب كريات الدم الحمراء، الجنس، العامل الروماتويدي ومضاد سيترولينيتد الببتايد الضد). ان لعرض توزيع الخلايا الحمراء قدرة جيدة على التفريق بين مرضى التهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي ومجموعة الضبط،وكذلك فان لمعدل ترسيب كريات الدم الحمراء قدرة ممتازة على التفريق بين مرضى التهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي ومجموعة الضبط.الاستنتاجات : كان عرض توزيع الخلايا الحمراء اعلى بكثير في مرضى التهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي من مجموعة الضبط، في حين كان متوسط حجم الصفائح الدموية اعلى في مرضى التهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي مقارنة مع مجموعة الضبط غير ان الفروقات لم تكن معتدة احصائيا. لم يكن هناك ارتباط كبير في مرضى التهاب المفاصل الروماتويدي بين عرض توزيع الخلايا الحمراء ومتغيرات مختلفة كـ(العمر، مؤشر كتلة الجسم، مدة المرض، ، درجة فعالية المرض 28 ، ومؤشر نشاط المرض السريري ، معدل ترسيب كريات الدم الحمراء، الجنس، العامل الروماتويدي ومضاد سيترولينيتد الببتايد الضد). | Background : Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease, which affects the joints and other body systems. Mean platelet volume is part of the complete blood count test and correlates with the platelet function and activation. Red cell distribution width is part of the complete blood count test and estimates erythrocyte variability in volume.Objective : To evaluate red cell distribution and mean platelet volume in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to assess their relationships with baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis .Patients and Methods : A total of 111 patients (98 female : 13 male) with rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria for Rheumatoid arthritis 2010 and age sex matched 97 control healthy individuals (76 female : 21 male) were involved in this case - control study. Demographic data, disease activity scores, medical history, current medications were reported. Rheumatoid Factor, Anti Citrullinated Peptide Anti body, complete blood count erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, and were all measured.Results : The red cell distribution width was significantly higher in patients (14.5 ± 2.8) compared to controls (12.4 ± 1.1) (p=>0.001). While Mean platelet volume in rheumatoid arthritis patients was (8.0 ± 1.4) and that for controls (7.7 ± 1.2), the differences were insignificant (P=0.4). Mean age for patients and controls were 46.53 ± 11.89 and 48.19 ± 12.06 years respectively (p=0.321). There were no significant correlation between red cell distribution width and various variables (Age, Body Mass Index, disease duration, Disease Activity Score28, Clinical Disease Activity Index, ESR, Sex, Rheumatoid factor, and Anti Citrullinated Peptide Anti body).The red cell distribution width had good validity to differentiate rheumatoid arthritis patients from controls, while erythrocyte sedimentation rate had excellent validity to differentiate between rheumatoid arthritis patients and controls.Conclusions : Red cell distribution was significantly higher in rheumatoid arthritis patients than in controls, While mean platelet volume was higher in rheumatoid arthritis patients compared to controls, but not reach statistically significant. In rheumatoid arthritis patients there were no significant correlation between red cell distribution and various variables (Age, Body mass index, Disease duration, Disease activity score 28, Clinical disease activity index , Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Sex, Rheumatoid factor, and Anti Citrullinated Peptide Anti body).
