Giriş ve Amaç: Tekrarlayan pnömoni ve reaktif hava yolları semptomlarının gastroözofageal reflü ile birlikteliği iyi tanımlanmış klinik antitedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; esas yakınmaları solunum sistemi bulguları ve sindirim sistemi yakınmaları olan gastroözofageal reflü şüphesi olan çocuklarda hipofaringeal reflü varlığı karşılaştırılarak, her iki grupta belirlenen semptomlar ile reflünün ilişkisini belirlemektir.Yöntem: Solunum sistemi yakınmaları olan 55 çocuk birinci grupta, gastro intestinal yakınması olan 31 çocuk ise ikinci grupta değerlendirildi. Toplam seksen altı çocukta özofagial ve hipofaringeal pH monitorizasyonu yapıldı. Hipofaringeal reflü, çift sensörlü problar aracılığı ile 24 saat monitorize edildi. Her iki grupta proksimal ve distal özofagustan alınan 24 saatlik pH verileri karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Değerlendirmeye alınan 86 olgunun yaşları 1.1 – 17 yıl arasında değişmekteydi. Grup 1’deki olgularda distal özofagusta hastaların % 54’ünde, grup 2’de ise % 61’inde patolojik reflü olduğu saptandı. Hipofaringeal monitorizasyonda grup 1’de % 40, grup 2’de ise % 54 patolojik değer belirlendi. Her iki grupta da hipofaringeal ve distal özofageal ölçümlerinin karşılaştırılmasında anlamlı fark saptandı (p< 0,05). Bu değerlendirmeye göre özofagusun distal ucunda reflü varlığı proksimal uçtan daha fazladır. Grup 1 ve 2’nin distal ve proksimal uçlardaki reflü ölçümleri karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığı gözlendi (p> 0,05).Asit temizlenme zamanları değerlendirildiğinde de; proksimal özofagusta (grup 1 de 1, 41 dk, grup 2 de 1, 81 dk) distal özofagustan daha kısa olduğu (grup 1 de 1, 85 dk, grup 2 de 2, 62 dk) saptandı (p<0,05). Ancak grup I ve II’nin karşılaştırılmasında tüm ölçümler açısından fark bulunmadı (p>0,05) Grup 1’de saptanan 59 öksürük atağının 55’inin (%93) özofagial asit reflü ile ilintili olduğu, Grup 2’de ise 29 kusma ve regurgitasyon yakınmasının 24’ü (%83) reflü ile ilintili olduğu görüldü.Sonuç: Solunum veya gastro intestinal yakınmaları olan hastalarda, özofagial asit temizleme veya total reflü zamanında, proksimal özofagus foksiyonunda belirgin farklılık yoktu. Solunum yakınmalarının nedeni multifaktoriyel görünmektedir ve hipofaringeal reflülü çocuklarda ek sorunlar da düzeltilmelidir.
Objective: Recurrent pneumonia and reactive airway symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux are well defined clinical entities. The aim of this study is to determine hypopharyngeal reflux among children with suspected gastrooesophageal reflux symptoms and to compare the results between a group of gastrointestinal system disorders and a group of respiratory complaints. Methods: Eighty six children underwent esophageal and hypopharyngeal monitoring. Hypopharyngeal reflux detected through 24 hours of pH monitorisation by double sensor probes to reveal gastric content reaching to the proximal side of oesophagus and contact to respiratory tract. The first group consisting 55 patients had only respiratory complaints and the second group was composed of 31 patients with gastrointestinal symptoms only. pH data for 24 hours from proximal and distal oesophagus of each each group was compared. Results: Eighty six cases who were 1.1 to 17 years old are evaluated. Pathological reflux to the distal oseophagus was determined in 54 % of the patients in group 1 and in 61% of the patients in group 2. Pathological values in 40% of group 1 and in 54 % of group 2 were assessed at hypopharyngeal monitorisation. A meaningful difference was confirmed in both of the groups on the comparison of hypopharyngeal and distal oesphageal measurements ( p< 0,05) . Existence of reflux on the distal part of oesophagus is for more than to the proximal and according to this evaluation. It was observed that no important difference was statistically present in the comparison of the reflux measurements at distal and proximal ends of group 1 and 2 (p>0,05). Acid clearance time was shorter in proximal oesophagus (in average 1.41 minutes in group 1 and 1.81 minutes in group 2) compared to the distal oesophagus (meanly 1.85 minutes in group 1 and 2.62 minutes in group 2). No difference was found in comparison of group 1 and 2 on the basis of all measurements (p>0,05). The observed 55 cough attacks of the 59 patients (93 %) in group 1 were related to oesophagel reflux. Twenty-four vomiting and regurgitation complaints of the 29 patients (83%) observed in group 2 were related to the reflux. Conclusion: Patients with respiratory complaints or gastrointestinal symptoms don’t have significantly different proximal oesophageal function in oesophageal acid clearance or total reflux time. The cause of respiratory symptoms seems to be multifactorial and comorbid factors should be corrected in children with hypopharyngeal reflux

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.
