Giriş ve Amaç: Fonksiyonel gastrointestinal hastalıklar yapısal veya biyokimyasal patolojilerle açıklanamayan kronik veya tekrarlayan semptomlar olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu hastalıkların sınıflandırılması son olarak 2006’da yayınlanan Roma III ölçütleri ile düzenlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, kliniğimizde karın ağrısı ile izlenen çocukların Roma III ölçütlerine göre değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Son bir yılda polikliniğimize karın ağrısı ile başvuran olguların dosya kayıtları incelendi. Olguların yaşları, cinsiyetleri, yakınma süreleri, alarm semptomu varlığı, antropometrik ölçümleri, fizik muayene ve laboratuvar bulguları kaydedildi. Karın ağrısı ile ilişkili fonksiyonel gastrointestinal hastalık kabul edilen olgular Roma III ölçütlerine göre sınıflandırıldı. Karın ağrısı fonksiyonel olarak kabul edilen ve edilmeyen çocuklar cinsiyet, yaş ortalaması, yakınma süresi, fizik muayene bulguları, aile öyküsü ve antropometrik ölçümler açısından karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 135 hasta (80 kız, ortalama yaş 8.7±3.1 yıl, ortalama yakınma süresi 1.5±1.4 yıl) alındı. Karın ağrısı ile ilişkili fonksiyonel gastrointestinal hastalığı olan 80 hastanın (47 kız, ortalama yaş: 9.0±2.9 yıl) 47 (%59)’si fonksiyonel dispepsi, 18 (%22)’i fonksiyonel karın ağrısı, 11 (%14)’i iritabl bağırsak sendromu ve dördü (%5) karın migreni olarak kabul edildi. Fonksiyonel ve organik nedenlere bağlı karın ağrısı olan olgular arasında yaşa göre vücut ağırlığı ve vücut ağırlığı z skorları hariç yukarıdaki değişkenler açısından anlamlı fark saptanmadı.Sonuçlar: Karın ağrısı ile başvuran hastaların büyük bir kısmı (%59) fonksiyonel gastrointestinal hastalık ile ilişkilidir. Fonksiyonel gastrointestinal hastalıklar arasında en sık olarak fonksiyonel dispepsi saptanmıştır. Öte yandan, fonksiyonel ve organik nedenlerin ayırt edilmesinde cinsiyet, yaş ortalaması, yakınma süresi ve fizik muayene bulgularının vücut ağırlığı z skoru ve yaşa göre vücut ağırlığı dışında yol gösterici olmadığı belirlenmiştir.
Introduction and Aim: Functional gastrointestinal diseases are defined as chronic or recurrent symptoms not explained by structural or biochemical abnormalities. These are classified recently by Rome III criteria published in 2006. Our aim was to evaluate children with abdominal pain with regard to Rome III criteria. Materials and Methods: Records of cases with abdominal pain presentation during last year were investigated. Age, gender, duration of symptoms, presence of alarm symptom, anthropometric measurements, physical examination and laboratory findings were recorded. Cases accepted as functional were classified according to Rome III criteria. Children with functional or organic abdominal pain were compared with regard to gender, age, duration of symptoms, physical examination findings, family story and anthropometric measurements.Results: 135 patients (80 girls, mean age 8.7±3.1 years, mean duration of symptoms 1.5±1.4 years) were included. Of 80 patients (47 girls, mean age: 9.0±2.9 years) with functional gastrointestinal disease related to abdominal pain, 47 (59%) had functional dyspepsia, 18 (22%) functional abdominal pain, 11 (14%) irritable bowel syndrome and four (5%) abdominal migraine. No significant difference was noticed between cases with functional and organic reasons with regard to parameters above except weight for age and weight z score. Conclusions: Most of the cases (59%) with abdominal pain had functional gastrointestinal disease related to abdominal pain. Functional dyspepsia was most frequent. On the other hand, none of the parameters like gender, age, duration of symptoms or physical examination findings, except weight z score and weight for age, was helpful in distinguishing functional and organic reasons
