Abstract

Amaç: Otizm spektrum bozuklukları prevalansında son yirmi yıl içerisinde ortaya çıkan artış çevresel koşullardaki değişiklikler ile otizm arasındaki ilişkinin önemini yeniden tartışmaya açmıştır. Bu çalışma ile, çevresel bazı risk faktörlerini otizm hastalarında geriye dönük incelemeyi hedefledik.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi Van Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Çocuk Nöroloji Polikliniği’nde otizm tanısı ile takip edilmekte olan hastalar geriye dönük olarak tarandı. Benzer yaş grubundaki sağlıklı çocuklar kontrol grubu olarak alındı. Bu iki grup; hipoksi ve prematürite varlığı, anne sütü alımı ve süresi, televizyon ile tanışma yaşı, televizyon, akıllı telefon ve tablet kullanım süreleri açısından incelendi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya otizm grubunda 66, kontrol grubunda 60 olmak üzere toplam 126 çocuk alındı. Gruplar arasında prematürite öyküsü ve hipoksik etkilenim açısından fark izlenmedi. Anne sütü hiç almayan çocuklar otizm grubunda daha yüksek sayıdaydı (p=0.018). Otizm tanısı alan hastaların daha kısa süre anne sütü almış oldukları görüldü (otizm:8.489.19 ay, kontrol:13.188.64 ay, p=0.001). Otizm grubunun ve kontrol grubunun televizyon ile tanışma yaşları arasında belirgin bir farklılık gözlenmedi. Otizm tanılı grupta dört saat ve üzeri televizyon izleme oranı belirgin derecede yüksekti (p=0.020). Benzer şekilde tablet ve akıllı telefon ile vakit geçirme süreleri otizm tanılı hastalarda anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p=0.001).

Sonuç: Anne sütü almamış olmak ya da kısa süre anne sütü ile beslenme, otizm riski ile ilişkilendirilebilir. Televizyon, tablet ve akıllı telefon gibi ekran maruziyetlerinde artmış süre, otizme yatkınlığı olan çocuklarda kliniğin ortaya çıkmasını kolaylaştıran ya da tetikleyen bir faktör olabilir.

An Investigation of Delivery History, Duration of Breastfeeding, Age at First Exposure to Television, and Television, Mobile Phone and Tablet Use Times in Children with Autism

Abstract

Objective: The increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders over the last two decades has led to a renewed debate concerning the importance of the relationship between changes in environmental conditions and autism. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively examine various environmental risk factors in patients with autism.

Material and Methods: Patients being followed-up with diagnosis of autism at the Van Education and Research Hospital Pediatric Neurology Polyclinic, Turkey, were screened retrospectively. Healthy children in a similar age group were included as the control group. These two groups were then compared in terms of the presence of hypoxia and prematurity, breastfeeding and the duration thereof, age at first exposure to television, and television, mobile phone and tablet use times.

Results: A total of 126 children, 66 in the autism group and 60 in the control group, were included in the study. No difference was observed between the groups in terms of history of prematurity and hypoxic effects. Children who had never breastfed were more numerous in the autism group (p = 0.018). Duration of breastfeeding was shorter in patients diagnosed with autism (autism: 8.489.19-month, control: 13.188.64 month, p=0.001). No significant difference was observed between autism group and control group concerning age at first exposure to television. The rate of watching television for 4 h or more was significantly higher in the autism group (p = 0.020). Similarly, time spent on tablets and mobile phones was significantly longer in patients with autism (p = 0.001).

Conclusion: Absence of breastfeeding and a short duration of breastfeeding may be associated with an increased risk of autism. Increased duration of use of screens such as televisions, tablets and mobile phones may be a factor that facilitates or triggers the emergence of the clinical manifestation in children with a predisposition to autism.
