Amaç: Travma, özellikle gençleri etkileyen, önemli finansal ve manevi kayıplara yol açan kritik bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Travma ile ilgili hastane yatışlarının yaklaşık üçte biri ve travma kaynaklı ölümlerin %20-25'ine ciddi göğüs yaralanmaları neden olmaktadır. Travma sonrası acil servise başvuran pediatrik hastalarda troponin düzeylerinin prognostik değerini belirlemeyi amaçladık
Materyal ve Metod: 1 Ocak 2015 ile 31 Ocak 2022 tarihleri arasında acil servise travma şikayetiyle başvuran hastalar değerlendirildi. 0 ile18 yaş arası çocuk hastaların kayıtları incelendi. Hastaların travma nedeni ve şiddeti, elektrokardiyografi ve ekokardiyografi sonuçları, laboratuvar verileri (biyokimyasal, hemogram, C-reaktif protein, pro-BNP, CK-MB, troponin vb.) değer-lendirildi. Bu araştırma gözlemsel ve retrospektiftir.
Bulgular: Yüksekten düşme en yaygın yaralanma nedeni olarak bulundu (%43). 55 (%56) hastada göğüs travması saptandı. Göğüs travması olan tüm hastalarda troponin yüksekliği mevcuttu. Göğüs travması olan hastalarda troponin seviyeleri anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu (p=0.011).
Sonuç: Bulgularımız, özellikle travma ile başvuran pediatrik hastalarda kardiyak troponinlerin prognostik önemini vurguladı.

Cardiac Evaluation of Children Presenting with Trauma

Öz

Background: Trauma is a critical public health issue, particularly impacting the young and caus-ing significant financial and moral losses. Approximately one-third of trauma-related hospitaliza-tions and 20-25% of trauma-related deaths are caused by serious chest injuries. We aimed to determine the prognostic value of changing pediatric global troponin levels in the emergency department after trauma.
Materials and Methods: Patients who applied to the emergency department with complaints of trauma between January 1, 2015 and January 31, 2022 were evaluated. Records of pediatric patients between the ages of 0 and 18 were reviewed. The cause and severity of the trauma, electrocardiography and echocardiography results, and laboratory data (biochemical, hemogram, C-reactive protein, pro-BNP, CK-MB, troponin, etc.) of the patients were evaluated. This study is an observational and retrospective.
Results: Falling from height was the most prevalent cause of injury, accounting for 43% of cases. Chest trauma was observed in 55 patients (56%). All patients with chest trauma exhibited ele-vated troponin levels. Troponin levels were found to be significantly higher in patients with chest trauma (p=0.011).
Conclusions: Our findings highlighted the prognostic importance of cardiac troponins, especially in pediatric patients presenting with trauma.
