چکیده

مقدمه: شدت بیماری مجموع فعالیت بیماری و آسیبی است که در اثر بیماری ایجاد می‌شود و ممکن است شدت درگیری یک ارگان با گذشت زمان تغییر کند. هدف از انجام این مطالعه، بررسی روند شدت بیماری آرتریت روماتوئید در دوره‌ی مراقبت پس از تشخیص با استفاده از معادلات برآوردگر تعمیم یافته است.روش‌ها: در این مطالعه‌ی هم‌گروهی گذشته‌نگر، اطلاعات 107 بیمار مبتلا به آرتریت روماتوئید که در بیمارستان شریعتی تهران به مدت سه سال (97-1395) تحت مراقبت مداوم بودند، جمع‌آوری شد. شدت بیماری با استفاده از شاخص Disease activity score-28 (DAS-28) که یک معیار مهم بالینی با کاربرد گسترده می‌باشد، محاسبه و به عنوان متغیر پاسخ رتبه‌ای معرفی شد.یافته‌ها: میانگین سن بیماران شرکت کننده در مطالعه در ابتدای پی‌گیری 12/13 ± 6/53 سال بود. در این مطالعه، ۸۴ نفر (5/78 درصد) زن و 17 نفر (9/15 درصد) بیماران با سابقه‌ی مصرف سیگار بودند. تنها 32 نفر (3/10) از بیماران تحصیلات بالاتر از دیپلم داشتند. میانگین سطح سرمی ویتامین D در بیماران 3/23 ± 7/46 نانوگرم/میلی‌لیتر بود. در این مطالعه، شدت بیماری در طی زمان رو به کاهش بوده است. اگر چه روند آن خیلی کم‌رنگ و ضعیف است. طول مدت مراقبت (004/0 = P) و مرد بودن (038/0 = P) از عوامل مرتبط معنی‌دار با کاهش «شدت بیماری» تشخیص داده شد.نتیجه‌گیری: با توجه به نتایج، کنترل شدت بیماری در طول دوره‌ی مراقبت وضعیت مطلوبی را نشان نمی‌دهد. علاوه بر مراقبت مداوم، اعمال سخت‌گیری بیشتر روی بیماران توصیه می‌شود.

چکیده [English]

Background: The severity of the disease is the sum of the disease activity and the damage caused by the disease, and the severity of an organ involvement may change over time. The present study aimed to determine the severity of rheumatoid arthritis and its related factors in the post-diagnosis care period using generalized estimator equations (GEE) model.Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data were collected from 107 patients with arthritis rheumatoid who were under intensive care in Shariati Hospital, Tehran, Iran, for three years (2015-2017). The severity of the disease was calculated using the Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS28) index, as an important clinical criterion, and was introduced as an ordinal response variable.Findings: The mean age of the patients was 53.6 ± 13.12 years. 84 patients (78.5%) were women and 17 patients (15.9%) had a history of smoking. The severity of the disease had a very slow downward trend over three years, although this process was very weak. The duration of care (P = 0.004) and being men (P = 0.038) were identified as significant related factors with decreased severity of the disease.Conclusion: According to our findings, controlling the severity of the disease during the care period does not show the desired condition. In addition to continuous care, it is recommended to apply more supervision on patients.
