Abstract

DOI: 10.26650/experimed.2019.19018 Objective: The goal of this study was to investigate the gender difference in manifestation of clinical symptoms related to allergic rhinitis and eczema in a population of school children aged 13-14 years from the city of Gjilan in Kosovo. Material and method: About 1200 school children aged between 13-14 years, from randomly selected schools, were included in the study, once the passive consent of their parents/guardians had been received. This study covers the data analysis from the questions related to the nose and skin problems (14 out of 53 questions). Results: Prevalence related to allergic rhinitis; a) sneezing, or a runny or blocked nose ever was 34.20% and in the last 12 months it was 25%; and b) hay fever ever was 14.5%. Prevalence related to eczema,; a) itchy rash at any time in the past 12 months was 7.5%; and b) eczema ever in life was 4.2%. Conclusion: This study found a higher prevalence of allergic rhinitis symptoms in female children comparing to male, while no significant connection was found between gender and eczema symptoms.

Özet

DOI: 10.26650/experimed.2019.19018 Amaç: Çalışmada Kosova Gjilan şehrindeki okullarda 13-14 yaşlarındaki çocuklardan oluşan popülasyonda, alerjik rinit ve egzama klinik semptomlarının cinsiyet farklılığı açısından araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ebeveynlerin/velilerin pasif onayı alınarak, yaşları 13-14 arasında değişen 1200 çocuk farklı okullardan seçilerek çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma burun ve deri problemleri ile ilişkili soruları kapsayan verilerin analizinden oluşmaktadır (53 sorudan 14’ü). Bulgular: Alerjik rinit ilişkili yaygınlıklar; a) Hapşırma, burun akıntısı veya tıkalı burun gibi durumlar popülasyon genelinde %34,20 olarak saptandı. Bunlardan son 12 aydır bu şikayetlere sahip olanların %25’lik dilimi oluşturduğu görüldü. b) Bahar nezlesi ise %14,5 olarak bulundu. Egzama ilişkili yaygınlıklar; a) Kaşıntılı döküntüler son 12 aylık dönemde incelendiğinde %7,5 olarak görüldü. b) Yaşamı boyunca az bir kere egzama görülenlerin %4,2’ lik dilimi oluşturduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Alerjik rinitle ilişkili belirtiler kız çocuklarında erkeklere oranla daha yüksek bir yatkınlıkla ilişkili bulunurken, egzama belirtileri ve cinsiyet arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamadı.
