Amaç: Akut apandisit çocukluk çağının en sık karşılaşılan ve tanısal zorluk çekilen akut batın sebeplerinden biridir. Çalışmamızda çocuk yaş grubunda akut apandisit tanısında ultrasonografi sonuçları ve beyaz küre sayısı yüksekliğinin histopatolojik tanı ile ilişkisi ve tanısal doğruluğu değerlendirilmiştir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2013 ve Haziran 2014 tarihleri arasında akut apandisit ön tanısı ile apendektomi yapılan 20’si erkek, 17’si kız ve yaş ortalaması 13 olan 37 olgunun operasyon öncesi ultrasonografi ve beyaz küre düzeyleri retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Histopatolojik tanı karşılaştırmada esas alınmıştır.Bulgular: Seçilen tüm hastaların preoperatif USG ve beyaz küre sonuçları histopatolojik sonuçlar altın standart kabul edilerek karşılaştırıldı. Buna göre USG için tanısal duyarlılık %70, seçicilik %43, doğruluk %70 bulunmuştur. Beyaz küre sayısı akut apandisit düşünülen hastalarda yüksek olup duyarlılık %82, seçicilik % 30, doğruluk %70 bulunmuştur. USG’nin akut apandisit olarak raporladığı hastaların histopatolojik incelemede akut apandisit olma olasılığı %84 bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Çocukluk çağı akut apandist olgularında tanı temel olarak anamnez, fizik muayene ve laboratuvar bulgularına dayanarak konur. İlave tetkik gerektiğinde iyonizan radyasyon içermeyen, nispeten ucuz, kolay ulaşılabilir ve tekrarlanabilir bir yöntem olan ultrasonografi ilk tercih edilmesi gereken radyolojik yöntemdir. USG ve beyaz küre sayısının yüksekliği ile histopatolojik tanı arasındaki anlamlı ilişki de bu tercihi doğrulamaktadır.
Objective: Acute appendicitis is one of the reasons of acute abdomen that is very common in the childhood period and creates difficulty in diagnosis. In this study, the diagnostic accuracy and correlation between the histopathological diagnosis and the results of ultrasonography in childhood period acute appendicitis diagnosis and the WBC elevation rate were evaluated.Material and Methods: Between January 2013 and June 2014, preoperative ultrasonography and WBC (White Blood Cell) levels of 37 cases with a pre-diagnosis of acute appendicitis consisting of 20 males and 17 females with a mean age of 13 years and undergoing appendectomy were evaluated restrospectively. The histopathological diagnosis was the basis of the correlation.results: The results of pre-operative USG and WBC of the selected patients were compared taking the histopathological result as the gold standard. In this respect, the rates for USG were as follows: diagnostic sensitivity 78%, selectivity 43%, and accuracy 70%. WBC was high in the patients with a possibility of acute appendicitis. In these patients the rates were sensitivity 83%, selectivity 30%, accuracy 70%

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.
