Evaluation of upper gastrointestinal system conventional radiographies in patients over 50 years of age
Abstract
Aim: The gastrointestinal (GI) changes related to aging are common. Some of these changes are physiological. However, pathological changes are also frequent at advanced age. The aim of this study was to evaluate upper GI conventional radiographic imagings in patients over 50 years of age.
Materials and Methods: Patients over 50 years of age who were referred to Radioscopy Division of Radiology Department between January 2011 and December 2012, and underwent esophagography, and double contrast upper gastrointestinal series for upper GI symptoms were evaluated retrospectively.
Results: Out of 2130 patients who underwent upper GI radiographic imaging, 1126 were over 50 years of age. The ratio of patients in 50-64, 65-79 age ranges, and patients ≥80 years of age were 62%, 32.6%, and 5.4%, respectively. There were; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (9.8%), tertiary contractions (9.2%), postoperative changes (8.6%), mucosal irregularity (8.3%), hiatus hernia (6.7%) achalasia (6%), diverticulum (5%), esophageal web (1.8%) and others which were not classified elsewhere (8.7%) among patients with abnormal radiological findings (55.2%). More than one pathology was detected in some patients.
Conclusion: The most common abnormal findings were GERD and tertiary contractions among patients over 50 years of age who underwent upper GI conventional radiographic imaging. As age increases, the prevalence of pathological findings also increases.

50 yaş ve üzeri hastalarda üst gastrointestinal sistem konvansiyonel radyografik görüntülemelerinin değerlendirilmesi
Abstract
Amaç: Yaşlanma ile ortaya çıkan gastrointestinal sistem (GİS) değişiklikleri sıktır. Bu değişikliklerin bazıları fizyolojik olmakla birlikte, bazı değişiklikler patolojik olup ileri yaşta sık görülür. Bu çalışmada; 50 yaş ve üzeri hastalarda üst GİS konvansiyonel radyografik görüntülemelerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2011 – Aralık 2012 tarihleri arasında hastanemize başvuran hastalardan, üst GİS şikayetleri nedeniyle Radyoloji Bölümü Radyoskopi birimine yönlendirilerek özofagografi, çift kontrastlı mide-duodenum grafisi ve özofagus-mide-duodenum grafileri çekilmiş 50 yaş üzerindeki hastaların hastane kayıtları retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Üst GİS radyografileri çekilen 2130 hastadan 50 yaş ve üzeri olan 1126 hastanın; %62’si 50-64 yaş, %32,6’sı 65-79 yaş aralığında, %5,4’ü ise 80 yaş ve üzerinde bulunmuştur. Radyografilerinde normal dışı bulgu tespit edilen (%55,2) hastalarda; gastroözofageal reflü (GÖR) (%9,8), tersiyer kontraksiyon (%9,2), opere olgular (%8,6), kontur düzensizliği (%8,3), hiatus hernisi (%6,7), akalazya (%6), divertiküller (%5), özofageal veb (%1,8) ve bu gruplarda sınıflanamayan diğer patolojiler (%8,7) tespit edilmiştir. Bazı hastalarda birden fazla patolojik bulgu saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Elli yaş ve üzeri hastalarda konvansiyonel radyografik görüntülemeler ile tespit edilen en sık normal dışı bulgular GÖR ve tersiyer kontraksiyon olarak tespit edilmiştir. Yaş aralığı yükseldikçe patolojik bulguların oranının arttığı görülmektedir.
