Evaluation of Treatment Results in Patients with a History of Acute or Chronic Lung Disease Admitted to the Smoking Cessation Clinic

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the treatment results of patients with a history of lung disease evaluated in our smoking cessation clinic. METHODS: A total of 112 cases referred to and started treatment at the our smoking cessation polyclinic between the dates of 01.01.2018 and 31.12.2018 were retrospectively examined. RESULTS: The median age of the 112 cases were evaluated was 42, and there was a %72,3 prevalence of the male gender. There was no significant difference in terms of gender distribution between cases with a history of acute or chronic lung disease (p=0,721). There was a history of acute lung disease in %55,4 (n=62) of cases, and chronic lung disease in %44,60 (n=50). Similar treatment agents for smoking cessation were used in both groups. At the end of the three-month follow up period, it was observed that 38 patients (%61,3) in the group with a history of acute lung disease, and 29 facts (%58) in the group with a history of chronic lung disease quit smoking, and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p=0,724). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In our study, we found that acute or chronic respiratory disease did not make a significant differ in the results of smoking cessation treatments.
