Abstract

AIM: Chest pain is a common problem faced in childhood. The purposes of this study were to identify the causes and epidemiology of chest pain children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 160 children, ages ranging 5-16, were evaluated. Chronic chest pain was accepted as having complaint more than one month duration. Electrocardiograms were obtained in 80 %, and echocardiograms were obtained 65.6 %. RESULTS: The most common causes of the chest pain were idiopathic (50.6 %) and musculoskeletal (14.4 %). Cardiac problems were found in 6.9 %. The majority of the nonorganic etiologic group had chronic complaints (p<0.01). Adolescents are more likely to have idiopathic and psychogenic pain( p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Chest pain in children is usually benign and is infrequently related to a cardiac pathology.

Özet

AMAÇ: Göğüs ağrısı çocukluk çağında oldukça sık karşılaşılan bir problemdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı çocuklarda göğüs ağrısının nedenleri ve epidemiyolojisini araştırmaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Yaşları 5 ile 16 yaş arasında değişen 160 çocuk değerlendirildi. Yakınma süresi bir aydan uzun olanlar kronik göğüs ağrısı olarak kabul edildi. Elektrokardiyogram olguların % 80'sinde, ekokardiyografi % 65.6'sında yapıldı. BULGULAR: Göğüs ağrısının en sık nedenleri idiyopatik (%50.6) ve kas-iskelet sistemi (% 14.4) ile ilgili nedenlerdi. Kardiyak nedenler % 6.9 oranında bulundu. Olguların % 39.4'ü akut, % 60.6'sı kronikti. Nonorganik etyolojili grubun çoğunluğunda yakınmalar kronikti (p<0.01). Adolesanlarda idiyopatik ve psikojenik nedenlerin olma ihtimali daha fazla idi (p<0.05). SONUÇ: Göğüs ağrısı çocuklarda genellikle benigndir ve sıklıkla kardiyak patolojiyle ilişkili değildir
