    Determination of the Frequency of Growth Retardation in Pediatric Out Patients with Growth Retardation Complaints
    (2017) Bucak, Ibrahim Hakan; Almis, Habip; Benli, Samet; Oztekin, Mehmet; Turgut, Mehmet
    Aim: Having a healthy child is the most basic concern for parents, and their children being ill or showing signs of illness therefore causes them anxiety. Parents cannot generally be objective in assessing the growth of their own children. Children’s growth must be evaluated solely with appropriate measurements and assessment criteria. The purpose of this study is to investigate the growth of patients with suspected retarded growth presenting to the children’s health and diseases clinic.

    Evaluation of factors associated with time to diabetic ketoacidosis resolution in children
    (Bayrakol Medical Publisher, 2022) Oztekin, Mehmet; Konca, Capan; Tekin, Mehmet; Bolu, Semih
    Aim: In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between clinical, demographic, and laboratory characteristics of patients at admission and time to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) resolution. Material and Methods: The files of patients with the diagnosis of DKA between January 2013 and December 2018 were reviewed retrospectively.Results: A total of 25 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 9.3 +/- 3.41 years. In 19 patients (76%), diabetes mellitus (DM) was diagnosed simultaneously with DKA. The mean time to DKA resolution was found to be significantly longer among patients with a family history of DM, newly diagnosed DM, respiratory distress, odor of acetone on the breath, altered consciousness, and severe coma. There was a significant correlation between the time to DKA resolution and the Pediatric Risk of Mortality score and the length of stay. There was also a significant negative correlation between time to DKA resolution and both pH and HCO3 levels. Discussion: DKA is an acute, severe, and life-threatening complication of type 1 DM in children. It is important to identify the factors affecting the prognosis and resolution time of comas in these patients in order to predict outcomes. Our findings show that the prognosis will be worse and the time to resolution will be longer among children with altered consciousness, newly diagnosed DM, respiratory distress, a high PRISM score, severe DKA coma, and severe acidosis at the time of admission.
