Amaç: Son zamanlarda sadece anne sütüyle beslenen yenidoğanlarda, yüksek morbidite ve mortaliteye neden olabilen hipernatremik dehidratasyon olgularında belirgin artış gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada hipernatremik dehidratasyonu olan yenidoğan bebeklerin demografik özelliklerini ve epidemiyolojik risk faktörlerini ortaya çıkarmak ve dehidratasyon olgularının sayısını azaltacak uygulamaları belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda Ocak 2009- Haziran 2012 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz yenidoğan polikliniğine başvuran serum sodyum konsantrasyonu ≥150 mEq/L olan 87 term yenidoğan bebek geriye yönelik değerlendirildi Bulgular: Bebeklerin 49’u (%56) erkek, 38’i (%44) kız ve ortalama doğum ağırlıkları 3424±395 gram’dı. Olguların ortalama başvuru yaşları 4.3±2.8 gün ve ortalama kilo kayıpları %12.2±4.2 olarak bulundu. Normal spontan vajinal yol ile doğum ve primipar annelerin oranı sırası ile %51.7 ve % 75.8’di. Olguların %96.5’i sadece anne sütü ile beslenmişti. Bebeklerin en sık başvuru şikayetleri ateş (%24.7), sarılık (%23.5) ve zayıf emme (%10.6) iken %37.6’inde başvuru anında yakınma bulunmamaktaydı. Çalışmamız süresince bir hastada intrakranial, bir hastada ise ekstremitede tromboz tespit edildi. Başvuru sırasında ortalama serum sodyum, üre ve kreatinin düzeyleri sırası ile 155.2±6.2 mEq/L, 89.1±73.9 mg/ dl ve 0.89±0.65 mg/dl olarak tespit edildi. Hastaların %66.7’sine intravenöz mayi desteği verildi. Olguların hastanede yatış süresi ortalama 2.6±2.3 gündü. Sonuç: Emzirme yetersizliğine bağlı olarak gelişen hipernatremik dehidratasyon yenidoğan bebeklerde halen ciddi bir problem olarak görünmektedir. Yenidoğan bebeklerin hayatın ilk günlerinde rutin olarak değerlendirilmesi hipernatremik dehidratsyonun erken tanı ve tedavisi için önemlidir. Ateş, sarılık ve emmede zayıflık olan bebeklerde hipernatremikdehidratasyon düşünülmelidir. Ayrıca gerekli olgularda sodyum ölçümün yapılması yararlı olabilir.
Objective: The incidence of hypernatremic dehydration because of the lactation failure in newborns, causing higher rates of morbidity and mortality, has increased in recent years. The aim of the study was to identify the preventive approaches for hypernatremic dehydration by determining demographic characteristics and epidemiologic risk factors in newborns with hypernatremic dehydration.Material and Methods: A total of 87 term neonates with a serum sodium level ≥150 mEq/L that presented at our clinic between January 2009 and June 2012 were evaluated retrospectively.Results: There were 49 (56%) male and 38 (44%) female infants. Mean birth weight was 3424±395 grams. Mean age and mean percentage of weight loss at admission were 4.3±2.8 days and 12.2±4.2 % respectively. The percentages of spontaneous vaginal delivery and primiparous mothers were 51.7% and 75.8% respectively. Breast milk had been used exclusively in 97%. The most common complaints were fever (24.7%), jaundice (23.5%), and poor absorption (10.6%), while 37.6% did not have symptoms at the time of hospital admission. One infant received a diagnosis of intracranial venous thrombosis and another infant lower extremity venous thrombosis over the study period. The mean sodium, urea and creatinine levels at admission were 155.2±6.2 mEq/L, 89.1±73.9 mg/dl and 0.89±0.65 mg/dl respectively. Intravenous fluid resuscitation was required in 67% of the infants. Mean duration of hospitalization was 2.6±2.3 days.Conclusion: Hypernatremic dehydration from lactation failure remains a serious problem in newborns. Routine newborn examination in the first few days of life is important for the early diagnosis and prevention of this condition. Hypernatremic dehydration should be considered in infants with fever, jaundice and poor sucking. Moreover, determination of the Na level should be helpful when required

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.
