Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate Down syndrome (DS) cases presenting to the pediatric emergency department and to compare them with DS cases with clinical presentations for routine check-ups. Method: DS patients presenting to the pediatric emergency department of a tertiary hospital between 01.10.2018 and 31.03.2019 (group 1) and DS patients presenting for routine clinical check-ups (group 2) were included in the study. Patients’ demographic data (age and gender), weight, height ad head circumference measurements, and data for general health were examined. Results: Forty-one patients (13 girls, 28 boys) with a mean age of 50.24±48.4 (1-163) months were enrolled in group 1, and 49 cases (17 girls, 32 boys) with a mean age of 52.94±50.1 (1-168) months in group 2. Cases in group 1 had higher rates of heart disease (p=0.004), drug use for heart disease (p=0.038), thyroid disease (0.001), and drug use for thyroid disease (p=0.001) compared to group 2, while engagement in sporting activity was significantly higher among cases in group 2 (p=0.32) than in group 1. There was no difference between the groups in terms of anthropometric measurements. Conclusion: DS cases presenting to the pediatric emergency department differ from DS cases presenting for routine check-ups in terms of general health status and accompanying diseases. Pediatric practitioners can be more knowledgeable about cases with DS who are admitted to the emergency department.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada çocuk acil servise başvuran Down sendromlu (DS) olguların değerlendirilmesi ve rutin kontrol amacı ile poliklinik başvurusu yapan DS olgularla karşılaştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntem: 01.10.2018-31.03.2019 tarihleri arasında, üçüncü basamak bir üniversite hastanesi çocuk acil servisine herhangi bir nedenle başvuran DS hastalar (grup 1) ile, çocuk polikliniğine rutin kontrol amacıyla başvuran DS hastalar (grup 2) çalışmaya alındı. Hastalara ait demografik veriler (yaş, cinsiyet), ağırlık, boy ve baş çevresi ölçümleri, genel sağlık durumlarına ait veriler incelendi. Grup 1’deki olguların çocuk acil servis başvuru şikayeti, fizik muayene bulguları, laboratuvar tetkikleri, görüntüleme yöntemleri ve hastanın sonlanımı değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Grup 1’de ortalama yaşları 50,24±48,4 (1-163) ay olan 41 olgu (13 kız, 28 erkek), grup 2’de ortalama yaşları 52,94±50,1 (1-168) ay olan 49 olgu (17 kız, 32 erkek) çalışmaya alındı. Grup 1’deki olguların grup 2’ye göre kalp hastalığı (p=0,004), kalp hastalığı için ilaç kullanma (p=0,038), tiroid hastalığı (p=0,001) ve tiroid hastalığı için ilaç kullanma (p=0,001) oranı daha yüksek iken grup 2’deki olguların grup 1’e göre spor yapma (p=0,032) durumu istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek idi. Gruplar arasında antropometrik ölçümler açısından fark yoktu. Sonuç: Dezavantajlı hasta gruplarının genel sağlık durumlarının bilinmesi onlara daha iyi sağlık hizmeti sunumuna imkan verecektir. Çocuk acil servise başvuran DS olgular genel sağlık durumu ve eşlik eden hastalıklar açısından rutin kontrol amaçlı polikliniğe başvuran DS olgulardan farklı özellik sergilemektedir.
