dc.description.abstractAim: In this study, it's aimed to investigate the relationship between the levels of particulate matter (PM10) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) and the admittance of the patients with the diagnosis of COPD, asthma, respiratory tract diseases to policlinics in the central part and counties of Duzce. Materials-Methods: Between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2009 in Duzce Ataturk State Hospital, the patients diagnosed as COPD, asthma, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, acute nasopharyngitis, acute pharyngitis, acute tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis at chest diseases, internal medicine, ENT, pediatric polyclinics were retrospectively evaluated. The monthly average values of SO2 and PM10 of Duzce had been obtained from the official data of Ministry of Environment and Forests. Results: Fifty-three percent (15,606) of total 29,367 cases were female. 64.4% of the cases were adults. The average SO, and PM10 concentration of Duzce city was highest in November, December, January and those were the lowest in July, August, September and October. The applications with the diagnosis of acute bronchitis were higher than the remaining applications in January (26.9%) and December (25.4%), while those were the lowest in July 16.4%) and September (20.4%), respectively. The applications with the diagnosis of COPD were more frequent in January (10%), February (10.9%), March (13.1%), but less in September (5.9%). The cases with asthma were most admitted in December (10.6%), January (9.6%) but less frequently in September (6.1%) (p = 0.000). Also the pneumonia cases were frequently admitted in November (10.6%), January (9.6%). The admission rates of the patients with COPD, asthma, acute bronchitis were similar among the central part, seaside and far from seaside. The most common admittance was due to the allergic rhinitis at the seaside part (119/479, 24.8%) (p = 0.000). Upper respiratory tract disease applications (58%) were higher than the lower respiratory tract diseases applications in the months that the air pollution was the highest (p = 0.000). Conclusion: It was speculated that polyclinics admissions of COPD, asthma, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, acute nasopharyngitis, acute pharyngitis, acute tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis seemed to be associated with air pollution and also living in the seaside may lead to more increase in applications regarding allergic rhinitis.en_US
