Amaç: D vitamininin kemik metabolizması üzerindeki etkisi iyi bilinmektedir. Son dönemlerde D vitaminin kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, obezite, enfeksiyonlar, otoimmünite ve kanser gelişimi ile de ilişkisi olduğu gösterilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, çocukluk çağındaki kronik hastalıklarda D vitamini eksikliğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2005-2011 yılları arasında kliniğimizde D vitamini eksiklik/yetersizliği (25OHD < 30 ng/ml) nedeniyle takip edilen ve ek kronik hastalığı olan 438 olgu geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Olguların yaş ortalaması 12.8±4.6 yıl ve kız/erkek oranı:1.29 olarak bulundu. Eşlik eden hastalıklar arasında diyabetes mellitus, obezite, Turner Sendromu, konjenital adrenal hiperplazi, miyopati, otoimmün ve romatolojik hastalıklar, santral sinir sistemi hastalıkları ve maligniteler yer almaktaydı. Kronik hastalığı olan çocuk/adölesanlarda D vitamini eksiklik/yetersizliği sıklığı 62.5-% 95 arasında değişmekteydi. Olguların ortalama 25OHD düzeyi 17±6.6 ng/ml’di. Hiç bir grupta hipokalsemi ve benzeri iyon dengesizliği saptanmadı.Sonuç: D vitaminin multisistemik etkileri dikkate alındığında, çocukluk çağındaki kronik hastalıklarda 25OHD düzeyi takip edilmeli ve gereğinde replasman yapılmalıdır. Böylece altta yatan hastalığın seyrinde de düzelme gözlenebilir.
Objective: The effect of vitamin D on bone metabolism is well known. It has recently been shown to be also associated with cardiovascular diseases, obesity, infections, autoimmunity, and cancer. The aim of our study was to evaluate vitamin D deficiency in childhood chronic diseases.Material and Methods: A total of 438 cases followed-up for vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency (25 OHD level < 30 ng/mL) in our clinic between 2005 and 2011 and who had an additional chronic disorder were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The mean age of the cases was 12.8±4.6 years and the female/male ratio 1.29 Accompanying disorders included diabetes mellitus, obesity, Turner syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, myopathy, autoimmune and rheumatic diseases, central nervous system diseases and malignancies. The vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency incidence ranged between 62.5 and 95.0% in the children/adolescents with chronic disease. The mean 25 OHD level was 17±6.6 ng/ml. Hypocalcemia or a similar ion imbalance was not found in any group. Conclusion: Considering the multisystemic effects of vitamin D, 25 OHD levels should be monitored in chronic diseases in childhood and supplementation provided if necessary. This may lead to an improvement in the course of the underlying disease as well

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.

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.
