Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There are lots of inguinal hernia risk factors determined in the literature. But the relationship between nutritional status and inguinal hernia were not examined yet. In this study the investigators evaluated the constipation scale and food consumption of the inguinal hernia patients. This Case-Control study was performed between March 2018- March 2019. The patients who admitted for operation with inguinal hernia were the case group (n:115) and the patients who were admitted to the same hospital without inguinal hernia were control group (n:88). The age, body mass index, alcohol and smoking habits, daily activity, frequency of food consumption and the Wexner constipation scoring were examined using questionnaire were noted.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Inguinal hernia is the most common type of abdominal wall hernias and the prevalence is estimated as 5-10% in United States. Although many risk factors have been defined for inguinal hernia, family history of inguinal hernia has been reported to be one of the most important factors. In addition to this, advanced age, male gender, smoking, chronic cough causing intraabdominal pressure increase, and chronic constipation are the risk factors. The hernias may recur according to the causes they originate from the reasons they originate in the early or late period after treatment.In this study, constipation and nutritional status of inguinal hernia patients were evaluated and it was aimed to examine the relationship between inguinal hernia and nutrition which has not been previously evaluated in the literature.

This Case-Control study was performed between March 2018- March 2019. The patients who admitted to the general surgery for operation with inguinal hernia were the case group of this study (n:115). Also, the patients who were admitted to the same hospital with such as eye, ear/nose/throat, dermatologic diseases or elective surgeries and did not have any inguinal hernia complaints, constipation and other chronic disease which could increase the intra abdominal pressure selected as control group (n:88).

Written informed consent was obtained from each participant. The numbers of cases and controls were matched based gender and age in each group. The age, gender, body mass index, alcohol and smoking habits, daily activity, frequency of food consumption and the constipation scoring according to Wexner constipation scoring were examined using questionnaire. The demographic data, nutritional status and the constipation scores were compared among individuals to identify differences between these two groups.
