Hubungan Nilai Fagerstrom Dan Indeks Brinkman Dengan Hasil Spirometri Pada Pasien Kanker Paru Di Rsup Haji Adam Malik Dan Rs Prof. Cpl Universitas Sumatera Utara Medan

Abstract

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with smoking being the main risk factor. Nicotine dependence can be assessed using the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), and smoking intensity can be evaluated through the Brinkman Index. Both parameters may affect lung function measured by spirometry. Objective: To investigate the relationship between Fagerstrom score and Brinkman Index with spirometry results in lung cancer patients at RSUP Haji Adam Malik and RS Prof. CPL Universitas Sumatera Utara. Methods: This is a quantitative observational study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 68 lung cancer patients with a history of smoking were enrolled. Data were collected using Fagerstrom and Brinkman Index questionnaires and spirometry tests. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The majority of patients had a moderate Fagerstrom score (44.1%) and a moderate Brinkman Index (52.9%). Spirometry results revealed a high prevalence of obstructive and restrictive lung disorders. There was a significant correlation between Fagerstrom score and Brinkman Index with spirometry outcomes (p<0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between Fagerstrom score and Brinkman Index with impaired lung function in lung cancer patients.
