Abstract

Objective: In order to evaluate nasal airway flow with peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) in children with conditions, such as allergic rhinitis causing nasal airway obstruction, normal values are needed. In this study we aimed to establish percentiles of PNIF for age and weight of healthy Turkish children by measuring PNIF of healthy school age children. Materials and Methods: A total of 5572 children aged 6-15 years who were attending elementary school in the provinces of Izmir, Manisa, Usak, Kutahya, Afyon, Denizli, Mugla and Aydin were randomly assigned to the study group. From the study group, 5554 children had their measurements. Age, sex, weight and height of the children were recorded, and using a In-check flow meter (Clement-Clarke, Harlow, UK), PNIF measured and recorded. Results: Of the 5554 children who were the members of study population 50.7% were boys and 49.3% were girls, and mean age was 10.8 ± 2.9 years. Mean PNIF value was 71.34 ± 32.63 L/minute with minimum of 10 and a maximum of 270. Boys had a significantly higher PNIF for age when compared to girls (p< 0.01). PNIF values were correlated with age, height and weight for both girls and boys. Conclusion: We hope that our study, which is the first study dealing with the normal PNIF values in our country, would contribute to the objective evaluation of the children with nasal airway obstruction.

Özet

Giriş: Allerjik rinit gibi nazal hava yolu obstrüksiyonuna yol açan hastalıklar nedeniyle başvuran çocuklarda nazal inspiratuar tepe akım hızı (PNIF) ölçümü ile nazal hava yolu akımı değerlendirilirken normal değerlere gereksinim duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada sağlıklı okul çocuklarının PNIF ölçümleri yapılarak normal Türk çocuklarının yaşa, boya ve kiloya göre PNIF persentil değerlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: İzmir, Manisa, Uşak, Kütahya, Afyon, Denizli, Muğla ve Aydın illerindeki ilköğretim okullarına devam eden 6-15 yaş arasındaki 5572 çocuk rastgele örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiş, çalışmaya kabul edilen 5554 öğrencinin ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Çocukların yaş, cinsiyet, ağırlık, boy parametreleri kaydedildikten sonra “Incheck” akım ölçer (Clement-Clarke, Harlow, UK) ile PNIF ölçümü yapılmış ve sonuçlar kaydedilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 5554 çocuğun %50.7’si erkek, %49.3’ü kız olup, yaş ortalaması 10.8 ± 2.9 yıl olarak saptanmıştır. Ortalama PNIF değeri 10-270 arasında değişmekle birlikte 71.34 ± 32.63 L/dakika olarak bulunmuştur. Erkeklerde yaşa göre PNIF değerlerinin kızlara göre anlamlı olarak yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (p< 0.01). PNIF değerleri her iki cinsiyette de yaş, boy ve kilo ile korelasyon göstermiştir. Sonuç: Ülkemizde PNIF normal değerleri ile ilgili ilk araştırma olan çalışmamızın sonuçlarının, nazal hava yolu obstrüksiyonu olan çocukların objektif değerlendirmesinde kolaylık sağlayacağını umuyoruz.
