Histopathological abnormality was determined in all patients with hiatal hernia (n=8), and histopathological abnormality was also more common with high-grade esophagitis determined endoscopically. conclusion: This study revealed the diagnostic importance of esophagogastroduodenoscopy in patients aged over 10 with reflux and dysphagia, and that histopathological anomalies are more common in the presence of hiatal hernia and high-grade esophagitis determined endoscopically

Abstract

Objective: Data concerning the prevalence of esophageal pathologies in children, and their relations with age and sex and symptoms, are limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence, etiology and endoscopic and histopathological characteristics of esophageal pathologies in children.Material and Methods: Patients aged 1-17 and undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy in our unit between May 2009 and June 2015 were investigated retrospectively (n=3081). Patients’ ages, sex, symptoms and endoscopic findings were recorded from their medical files. At statistical analysis, the Independent Two Sample t test was used for normally distributed variables in two-group comparisons and the Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed variables. The chi square test was used to compare categoric variables.results: Pathology was present in the esophagus of 335 patients (10.8%) (endoscopic in 205, histopathological in 12 and both endoscopic and histopathological in 118). Esophageal pathology was more common in patients aged over 10 (p<0.001, OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.31-2.08). A higher prevalence of pathology in the esophagus was determined in patients with reflux (89, 26.5%, p<0.001, OR: 7.58, 95% CI: 5.61-10.25) and dysphagia (10, 2.9%, p<0.001, OR: 7.01, %95 Cl: 3.00-16.35). Histopathological abnormality was determined in all patients with hiatal hernia (n=8), and histopathological abnormality was also more common with high-grade esophagitis determined endoscopically. conclusion: This study revealed the diagnostic importance of esophagogastroduodenoscopy in patients aged over 10 with reflux and dysphagia, and that histopathological anomalies are more common in the presence of hiatal hernia and high-grade esophagitis determined endoscopically

Özet

Amaç: Çocuklarda özofagus patolojilerinin sıklığı, bu hastalıkların yaş, cinsiyet ve semptomlarla ilişkisini içeren veriler sınırlıdır. Çalışmanın amacı, çocuklardaki özofagus patolojilerinin sıklığının, etiyolojisinin, endoskopik ve histopatolojik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Birimimizde Mayıs 2009 - Haziran 2015 tarihleri arasında özofagogastroduodenoskopi yapılmış 1-17 yaş aralığında hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi (n=3081). Hastaların dosya bilgilerinden yaşı, cinsiyeti, şikayetleri ve endoskopik bulguları kaydedildi. İstatiksel değerlendirmede iki grup karşılaştırmalarında normal dağılım gösteren değişkenler için Bağımsız İki Örnek t testi, normal dağılım göstermeyen değişkenler için Mann-Whitney U testi, kategorik değişkenlerin karşılaştırılmasında Ki-kare testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Toplam 335 hastanın (%10.8) özofagusunda patoloji mevcuttu (205 hastada endoskopik, 12 hastada histopatolojik, 118 hastada hem endoskopik hem de histopatolojik). On yaşının üzerindeki hastalarda özofagus patolojisinin daha sık görüldüğü tespit edildi (p<0.001, OR: 1.65, %95 CI: 1.31-2.08). Reflü şikayeti (89 hasta, %26.5, p<0.001, OR: 7.58, %95 CI: 5.61-10.25) ve disfajisi (10 hasta, %2.9, p<0.001, OR: 7.01, %95 Cl: 3.00-16.35) olan hastalarda özofagusta patoloji saptanma oranının daha fazla olduğu saptandı. Hiatal hernisi olan tüm hastalarda (n=8) histopatolojik anormallik bulunurken, endoskopik olarak yüksek evre özofajit olanlarda daha sık histopatolojik anormallik olduğu tespit edildi.Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, 10 yaşın üzerinde, reflü şikayetleri ve disfajisi olan hastalarda özofagogastroduodenoskopinin tanısal önemi olduğu ve endoskopik olarak saptanan yüksek evre özofajit ile hiatal herni varlığında histopatolojik anormalliğin daha sık olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
