Üçüncü Basamak Bir Çocuk Hastanesinde Belirgin Yüksek Eritrosit Sedimantasyon Hızının Tanısal Değeri
Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, referans bir çocuk hastanesinde belirgin olarak artmış eritrosit sedimantasyon hızı (ESR) olan pediatrik hastaların sıklığını, demografik ve klinik özelliklerini değerlendirmek ve klinisyenlerin aşırı yüksek ESR'yi ayırıcı tanıda kullanma becerilerini geliştirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Retrospektif, kesitsel olarak planlanmış olan bu çalışmada ESR değeri ≥100 mm/saat olan pediyatrik hastalar değerlendirilmiştir. Hastalar tanılarına göre enfeksiyöz, enfeksiyöz olmayan inflamatuar hastalıklar (NIID), malignite, nefrolojik, diğer ve bilinmeyen olarak 6 ana gruba ayrıldı. Daha sonra hastaların spesifik alt tanıları belirlenerek, klinik ve laboratuvar verileri değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Yüksek ESR'si (≥20 mm/saat) olan toplam 3166 hasta içerisinde belirgin yüksek ESR'si olan 189 (%5.96) hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Belirgin yüksek ESR'nin en yaygın nedeni NIID (%35.9) iken, bunu enfeksiyonlar (%33.3), maligniteler (%19.0), nefrolojik (%2.6), diğer (%4.7) ve bilinmeyen (%4.2) olarak bulundu. En sık görülen spesifik alt tanı akut romatizmal ateş, Kawasaki hastalığı, lenfadenit ve lösemi idi. Yüksek ESR, yalnızca hemoglobin ve albümin seviyeleri ile negatif korelasyon gösterdi.
Sonuç: Çalışmamız 3. Basamak, referans bir çocuk hastanesinde yapılmış literatürdeki en geniş seridir. Çocuklarda belirgin ESR yükselmesine neden olan en yaygın hastalıkların bilinmesi, klinisyenlere ayırıcı tanıda yardımcı olacaktır.

The Diagnostic Value of Extremely Elevated Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate in A Tertiary Pediatric Hospital
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency, demographic and clinical characteristics of pediatric patients with extremely elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in a reference children's hospital, and to improve clinicians' ability to use extremely elevated ESR in the differential diagnosis.
Material and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to examine the clinical data of pediatric patients with extremely elevated ESR ( ≥100 mm/h). The patients were divided into 6 main groups according to their diagnosis as infectious, non-infectious inflammatory disease (NIID), malignancy, nephrologic, miscellaneus and unknown. Then, the specific sub-diagnoses of the patients were determined and evaluated. Clinical and laboratory data of the patients were recorded.
Results: We analyzed the results of a total of 3166 patients with high ESR (≥20 mm/h) and 189 (5.96%) patients with extremely elevated ESR were included in the final analysis. The most common etiology of extremely elevated ESR was NIID (35.9%), followed by infections (33.3%), malignancies (19.0%) nephrologic (2.6%), miscellaneus (4.7%) and unknown (4.2%). The most common specific diagnosis was acute rheumatic fever, Kawasaki disease, lymphadenitis and leukemia. The high ESR was only negatively correlated with hemoglobin and albumin levels.
Conclusion: Identifying the most common diseases that cause extreme ESR elevation in children can help clinicians in the differential diagnosis of diseases but it cannot be used as a screening tool for diseases.

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.
