Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the reasons for the dermatology consult of patients who were hospitalized in a pediatric clinic
in a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods: Analyzed in this study were 614 patients, aged 0-18 years, who were hospitalized in pediatrics clinics and requested
dermatology consultation, between January 2014 and June 2020. The ages, genders of the patients, services requesting consultation, dermatological
diagnoses, procedure and examinations required to reach the diagnosis, and treatment modality were obtained from the hospital database
retrospectively. Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used
for the analysis.

Results: A total of 71 different dermatological diagnoses were observed according to the International Classification of Disease 11. The patients
who were given only medical advice without a diagnosis were grouped under the category of “rash, unspecified” and this was the leading category,
with (16.1%) patients. The second category was “exanthematous drug eruption” with (8%) patients, followed by “graft versus host disease” with
(6.5%) patients, “dermatitis or eczema, unspecified” with (5%) patients. Most of the patients were diagnosed with clinical findings, skin biopsy was implemented for (17.7%) patients and (5.5%) patients were asked for bacterial or fungus cultures. Moreover, (15%) patients were requested to have
further procedures. Topical treatment was applied to (47.9%) of the patients, systemic treatment to (9%), local and systemic treatment together to
(22%), one of excision, cryosurgery, and electrocautery to (1.5%), while no treatment was given to (19.7%).

Conclusion: The results obtained in the current study showed that the reasons for dermatology clinic consultations by pediatric patients in different
centers may vary and which diseases are these reasons in a tertiary health care center cross-sectionally.

Üçüncü Basamakta Dermatoloji Konsültasyonu İstenen Pediatrik Yatan Hastalar: 614 Hastanın Retrospektif Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, üçüncü basamak hastanede çocuk hastalıkları kliniğine yatırılan hastaların dermatoloji konsültasyon nedenlerinin
araştırılmasıdır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada Ocak 2014-Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında pediatri kliniklerinde yatarak dermatoloji konsültasyonu istenen 0-18
yaş arası 614 hasta analiz edildi. Hastaların yaşları, cinsiyetleri, konsültasyon isteyen servisler, dermatolojik tanılar, tanıya ulaşmak için gerekli olan
prosedür ve muayeneler, tedavi modaliteleri hastane veri tabanından retrospektif olarak elde edildi. Veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılarak analiz
edildi. Analiz için IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, ABD) kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Hastalıkların Uluslararası Sınıflaması 11’e göre toplam 71 farklı dermatolojik tanı koyuldu. Tanı konmadan sadece tıbbi tavsiye verilen
hastalar “döküntü, tanımlanmamış” kategorisi altında gruplandı ve bu kategori (%16,1) hasta ile lider kategori oldu. İkinci kategori (%8) hastada
‘ekzantematöz ilaç döküntüsü’, ardından (%6,5) hastada “graft versus host hastalığı”, (%5) hastada “dermatit veya egzama, tanımlanmamış” idi.
Hastaların çoğuna klinik bulgularla tanı konuldu, (%17,7) hastaya deri biyopsisi uygulandı ve (%5,5) hastalardan bakteri veya mantar kültürü istendi.
Ayrıca (%15) hastalardan ileri işlemler istendi. Hastaların %47,9’una topikal tedavi, %9’una sistemik tedavi, %22’sine lokal ve sistemik tedavi birlikte,
(%1,5) eksizyon, kriyocerrahi ve elektrokoter tedavilerinden biri uygulanırken (%19,7) hastada hiçbir tedavi uygulanmadı.

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda elde edilen sonuçlar, farklı merkezlerde pediatrik hastaların dermatoloji kliniğine danışılma nedenlerinin farklılık gösterebildiğini
ve kesitsel olarak üçüncü basamak sağlık merkezinde bu nedenlerin hangi hastalıklar olduğunu göstermiştir.
