Objective: In this study, we aimed to examine and evaluate the demographic data and malnutrition of patients we followed up with a diagnosis of CD.
Material and Methods: The files of 113 children aged between 2 and 18 years who were followed up with a diagnosis of CD from the Pediatric Gastroenterology Outpatient Clinic of our tertiary hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Diagnosis of CD; Patients with symptoms of the disease (abdominal pain, diarrhea, growth retardation, etc.), whose tissue transglutaminase values were positive, were examined by endoscopic method, and were classified according to the MARS classification, which was biopsied and made by the pathology clinic. The malnutrition status of these children was examined by looking at their calendar age, gender, weight and height, weight for age, weight for height, and body mass index (BMI). In addition, nutritional status was evaluated by looking at hemoglobin, ferritin, iron and vitamin B12 values.
Results: A total of 113 patients, 75 (66.4%) female and 38 (33.6%) male, who were diagnosed with CD and followed up were included in the study. When the weight values of the patients were examined, the 3rd percentile was 23%, the 3-10th percentile was 16.8%, the 10-25p was 16.8%, the 25-97th percentile was 41.6%, and the above 97th percentile was 1.8%. According to Gomez classification, mild malnutrition was 34.5%, moderate malnutrition 18.5% and heavy malnutrition 1.7%, weight for height was found to be mild 24.8%, moderate 3.5%, malnutrition, 16.8% according to BMI. Vitamin B12 deficiency was found 39%, low hemoglobin 22%, low ferritin 45% and iron deficiency 30%.
Conclusion: Malnutrition in CD continues to be an important problem. Malnutrition status in our study; Malnutrition was determined as 54.7% by weight for age, 28.3% for weight for height and 16.8% for BMI. Broader studies are required to minimize the negative effects of CD and related malnutrition in the world and in our country.
Amaç: Bu çalışmada Çölyak Hastalığı (ÇH) tanısıyla izlediğimiz hastaların demografik verilerini ve malnütrisyon durumlarını inceleyip değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Üçüncü basamak hastanemizin Pediatrik Gastroenteroloji Polikliniğinden ÇH tanısı ile izlenen 2-18 yaş arasındaki 113 çocuk hastanın dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. ÇH tanısı; hastalığa ait semptomları(karın ağrısı, ishal, malnütrüsyon vb) olan, doku transglutaminaz değerleri pozitif hastaların endoskopik yöntemle incelenip, biyopsi alınan ve patoloji kliniği tarafından yapılan MARS sınıflandırmasına göre konuldu.
Bu çocukların takvim yaşı, cinsiyet, ağırlık, boy değerlerine bakılarak yaşa göre ağırlık, boya göre ağırlık, vücut kitle indekslerine (VKI) bakılarak malnütrisyon durumlarına bakıldı. Ayrıca hemoglobin, ferritin, demir, vitamin B12 değerlerine bakılarak beslenme durumları değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya ÇH tanısı konulan ve takip edilen 75’i (%66.4) kız, 38’i (%33.6) erkek, toplam 113 hasta dâhil edildi. Hastaların yaşa göre ağırlık değerlerine bakıldığında 3 persentil altı %23.3-10 persentil arası %16.8, 10-25p %16.8, 25-97 persentil %41.6 ve 97 persentil üzeri %1.8 tespit edildi. Gomez sınıflamasına göre hafif malnütrüsyon %34.5, orta malnütrisyon %18.5 ve ağır malnütrisyon %1.7, boya göre ağırlık bakıldığında hafif %2 4.8, orta %3.5,malnütrisyon, VKİ göre %16.8 oranında zayıf olarak tespit edildi. Vitamin B12 eksikliği %39, hemoglobin düşüklüğü %22. ferritin düşüklüğü %45 ve demir eksikliği %30 tespit edildi.
Sonuç: ÇH’da ortaya çıkan malnütrisyon önemli bir sorun olmaya devam etmektedir. Çalışmamızda malnütrisyon durumu, yaşa göre ağırlık bakıldığında %54.7, boya göre ağırlık bakıldığında %28.3, VKI’ne göre %16.8 oranında malnütrisyon tespit edildi. Dünyada ve ülkemizde ÇH ve buna bağlı malnütrisyonun olumsuz etkilerini en aza indirmek için daha geniş çalışmalar yapmak gerekmektedir.
