Abstract

Objective: Hematemesis is a common symptom of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, bleeding from the mouth that appears fresh red or lookslike “coffee grounds.” It is a rare, life-threatening emergency condition and potentially requires emergency intervention in children. Our studyaims to evaluate the gastroscopy findings of pediatric patients who presented with vomiting of blood. Methods: Seventy children and adolescents (35 females, 35 males) presented with hematemesis were evaluated retrospectively. Patients’demographic characteristics, gastroscopic findings, pre- and post-operative laboratory results were compared and evaluated. Results: Male patients (6.91±5.21) were significantly younger than female patients (10.51±4.79) at the time of diagnosis (p=0.005). Of these,92.9% had no symptoms. According to the gastroscopy findings performed at the time of diagnosis, the underlying pathology was detectedin 65.7% of cases. Esophagitis was the most common pathology with a rate of 52.2% and followed by pangastritis (30.4%). As a result of post treatment gastroscopy, 21.7% (n=15) of cases had pathological findings. Moreover, the mean hemoglobin value measured during diagnosis wassignificantly lower in cases with underlying pathology according to post-treatment gastroscopy results (p=0.025). Conclusion: Hematemesis was observed at an early age in male children with a higher rate of underlying pathology after treatment. In addition,the significantly low hemoglobin levels reported in the cases with positive gastroscopy have reaffirmed the diagnostic and therapeutic importanceof gastroscopy. It has also highlighted the requirement for immediately monitoring vital symptoms following the patient’s admission.

Özet

Amaç: Hematemez, kanın taze kırmızı veya “kahve telvesi” şeklinde ağızdan geldiği, üst gastrointestinal sistem kanamasının yaygın birsemptomudur. Hayatı tehdit edebilecek acil bir durum olarak tanımlanır ve potansiyel olarak çocuklarda acil müdahale gerektirir. Çalışmamızdakanlı kusma ile başvuran çocuk hastaların gastroskopi bulgularını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hematemez ile başvuran 70 çocuk ve ergen (35 kız, 35 erkek) geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların demografiközellikleri, gastroskopik bulguları, ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası laboratuvar sonuçları karşılaştırıldı ve değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Tanı anında erkek hastalar (6,91±5,21) kadın hastalardan (10,51±4,79) anlamlı olarak daha gençti (p=0,005). Hastaların %92.9’undaherhangi bir belirti yoktu. Tanı anında yapılan gastroskopi bulgularına göre; vakaların %65,7’sinde altta yatan patoloji tespit edildi. Özofajit%52,2 ile en sık görülen patoloji olup, onu pangastrit (%30,4) izledi. Tedavi sonrası gastroskopi sonucunda olguların %21,7’sinde (n=15) patolojikbulgular vardı. Ayrıca tanı sırasında ölçülen ortalama hemoglobin değerinin altta yatan patolojisi olan olgularda tedavi sonrası gastroskopisonuçlarına göre istatistiksel olarak daha düşük olduğu tespit edildi (p=0,025). Sonuç: Tedavi sonrası altta yatan patoloji oranı daha yüksek olan erkek çocuklarda daha erken yaşta hematemez görüldü. Ek olarak, gastroskopibulgusu pozitif olan olgularda bildirilen önemli ölçüde düşük hemoglobin seviyeleri, gastroskopinin tanısal ve terapötik önemini yeniden teyitetmiştir. Ayrıca, hastanın yatışını takiben yaşamsal semptomların derhal izlenmesinin gerekliliğini vurgulamıştır.
