Amaç: Çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan hastaların özelliklerinin ve prognoza etki eden faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştırGereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak-Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında yoğun bakım ünitemize kabul edilen 454 çocuk geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Hastaların yaşları, cinsiyetleri, tanıları, altta yatan hastalıkları, mekanik ventilasyon ihtiyaçları, mekanik ventilasyon süreleri, yatış süreleri, pediatrik mortalite riski (PRISM) III, pediatrik lojistik organ disfonksiyonu (PELOD), pediatrik mortalite indeksi (PIM) II skorları, hastane ilişkili enfeksiyonları, invaziv girişimleri ve prognozları kaydedilerek değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Hastaların 248’i (%54.6) erkek 206’sı (%45.4) kızdı. Ortanca yaş 24 ay (1-216 ay) ve ortanca hastanede kalış süresi 2 gündü (1-131 gün). En sık yatış tanıları solunum sıkıntısı (n=197, %42.7) ve nörolojik hastalıklar (n=71, %15.6)’di. Ortanca PRISM III, PELOD, PIM II skorları sırasıyla 9 (0-41), 11 (0-51), %10.4 (%0.1-%98.9)’di. Üç skor içerisinde mortaliteyi tahmin etmede en anlamlısı PRISM III’di (p<0,001). 223 hastanın (%49.1) mekanik ventilatör (MV) ihtiyacı oldu. Ortanca MV süresi 4 gündü (1-131 gün). En sık invaziv işlem santral venöz kateterizasyondu (49, % 10.8). Hastada hastane ilişkili enfeksiyon görüldü. Mortalite oranı %17’di. MV ve yatış süresi uzunluğu, mortalite üzerinde anlamlı düzeyde etkili saptandı (sırasıyla p<0,001, p=0,002).Sonuç: Mekanik ventilasyon ve yatış süresi mortaliteyi etkilemektedir ve PRISM III skoru mortaliteyi tahmin etmede efektiftir.
Objective: The aim of this study were to assess the profile, outcome and factors affecting the prognosis of children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and to contribute to effective use of the insufficient number of units in Turkey.Material and Methods: 454 children who were admitted to our PICU between January 2014 and December 2014 were assessed retrospectively. Age, gender, diagnosis, comorbidities, mechanical ventilation support, mechanical ventilation duration, length of stay, pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM) III score, pediatric logistic organ dysfunction (PELOD) score, pediatric index of mortality (PIM) II score, nosocomial infections, invasive procedures and prognosis were recorded for all patients.Results: 248 (54.6%) patients were male and 206 (45.4%) were female. The median age of the patients was 24 months (1-216 months) and the median length of stay was 2 days (1-131 days). The most common diagnoses were respiratory tract diseases (n=197, 42.7%) and neurological diseases (n=71, 15.6%). Median PRISM III, PELOD, and PIM II scores on admission were 9 , 11 , and 10.4% (0.1%-98.9%) respectively. PRISM III was the most significant score to predict mortality among the three scores (p<0.001). Mechanical ventilation (MV) was required in 223 (49.1%) patients. The median duration of MV was 4 days (1-131 days). The most common invasive procedure was central venous catheterisation. Nosocomial infections were seen in 49 (10.8%) patients. The mortality rate was 17%. We observed that the duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay in the PICU had a significant effect on mortality (p<0.001, p=0.002, respectively). conclusion: Duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay in the PICU could affect mortality and the PRISM III score is effective in predicting PICU mortality

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
