The necessity of determination of regional data prompted this study. Information of all deliveries from January 2004 to December 2008 was obtained from delivery registry records retrospectively. Initial data including birth weight, vital status, sex, maternal age and mode of delivery were recorded using medical files. The frequency of low birth weight, very low birth weight, extremely low birth weight and stillbirth deliveries were determined. Among 19,533 total births, there were 450 (23.04 per 1000) stillbirths. Low birth weight rate was 10.61%. A significant increase in yearly distribution of low birth weight deliveries was observed (P<0.001). Very low birth weight and extremely low birth weight delivery rates were 3.14% and 1.58% respectively. Among 2073 low birth weight infants, 333 (16.06%) were stillbirths. The stillbirth delivery rate and the birth of a female infant among low birth weight d...

Özellikle yaşamın ilk yıllarında sıklıkla gözden kaçabilmekte ve tanısında zorluklar yaşanabilmektedir. Tanı ve tedavi yetersizliğinde ise böbrekte skar oluşumu, sonrasında hipertansiyon ve son dönem böbrek yetmezliğine kadar gidebilen tabloların karşımıza çıkabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu yüzden doğru tanı koymak kadar doğru izlem de son derece önemlidir. Ancak tanı anında ve izlem sırasında yapılacak tekikler üzerinde son yıllarda çeşitli tartışmalar yürütülmektedir. Bu çalışma; hastanemize başvuran ÖZET İlk kez tanı alan üriner sistem enfeksiyonlu olgularımızın değerlendirilmesi Amaç: Bu çalışma, hastanemizde ilk kez üriner sistem enfeksiyonu (ÜSE) tanısı alan 0-14 yaş arasındaki olguların klinik, demografik özelliklerini saptamak ve radyolojik bulgularını gözden geçirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 01/02/2004 ile 03/06/2004 tarihleri arasında acil servisimize ve polikliniklerimize başvurup, ÜSE tanısı konulan 97 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Olgular, yaş gruplarına göre: Grup 1 (1-12 ay), Grup 2 (13-60 ay) ve Grup 3 (60 aydan büyük) olarak sınıflanmıştır. Çalışmaya ait veriler bilgisayar ortamında SPSS 13.0 paket programı ile, Ki-kare ve Kappa korelasyon testleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hastalar arasında kız/erkek oranı 3,21'di. Yaş ortalaması 53,5±39,5 ay olarak belirlendi (1 ay-145 ay). Grup 1 içinde yer alan hastalar çoğunlukla ateş (%62,5) ve iritabilite gibi non-spesifik semptomlar gösterirken; daha büyük çocuklar abdominal ağrı, poliüri, disüri gibi daha spesifik belirtiler göstermekteydi. Bir yaşından küçük olgularda, ateşin görülme sıklığı %41,7olarak saptandı. E.Coli, bütün hasta gruplarında major patojen olarak tespit edildi (%78,4) ve bir yaşın üzerinde, diğer patojenlere göre ileri düzeyde anlamlı fark yaratacak kadar yüksek bulundu (p<0.0001). Bir yaşın altındaki hastalarda ikinci sıradaki etyolojik ajan ise Klebsiella (%20,8) idi ve her iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık mevcuttu (p<0,0001). Grup 1 hastalarının %62'sinin, grup 2 hastalarının %52'sinin ve grup 3 hastalarının %30'unun USG görüntülemesinde patolojik bulgu saptandı. Hastalarda ateş varlığı ile renal parankim hasarı arasında veya ateş varlığı ile voiding sistouretrografide vezikoüreteral reflu (VUR) saptanması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı. Sonuç: ÜSE'nin erken teşhis ve tedavisi, yüksek morbidite nedeniyle önem taşımaktadır. 1-12 aylık ÜSE'li bebeklerin çoğunlukla ateş şikayeti ile başvurmaları nedeniyle, ateşli bebeklerde ÜSE mutlaka düşünülmelidir. Bir yaşın altında ilk kez ÜSE geçiren çocuklarda mutlaka üriner sistem ultrasonografisi uygulanmalıdır. Anahtar kelimeler: Üriner sistem enfeksiyonu, ultrasonografi, voiding sistoüretrografi

Hospitalizations for pediatric intoxication: a study from İstanbul. Turk J Pediatr 2011; 53: 369-374. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological features of pediatric patients hospitalized for intoxication. Data were collected from the medical records of children ≤14 years of age, admitted for intoxication in 2005-2007. Of the 2,989 admissions, 330 (11%) were intoxication cases; 238 (72.1%) were <5 years old. Pharmaceutic agents were identified in 76.1%. Psychotropics were the most frequently ingested drugs (33.9%), and tricyclic antidepressants were the most common (27.1%). Non-pharmaceutic agents were identified in 79 (23.9%) patients, 54.4% of which were pesticides. The majority of all cases were accidental poisonings (90%), which occurred mostly in children <5 years old (71.5%), mainly by pharmaceutics, followed by self-inflicted intoxications (8.2%), which demonstrated the highest ratio in children >10 years old (6.7%).
