Abstract

Abstract Purpose Pediatric endocrine disorders (PED) are a common component of medical health challenges in Saudi Arabia. We aimed to describe the pattern and clinical outcomes of different non-diabetic pediatric endocrine disorders in Al-Baha Region, Saudi Arabia, aiming for early diagnosis and management. Methods The clinical and laboratory data of 744 children and adolescents who presented with non-diabetic endocrine disorders and received medical care at the pediatric endocrine clinic et al.-Baha during the period from 2018 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed based on the records. Results A total of 744 patients were recruited, 377 were females and 361 were males with a female/male ratio of 1.04/1. The patients’ ages ranged from 2 months to 17 years, with a mean age of 9.87 ± 4.59 years. The commonest endocrine disorders were thyroid disorders 234 (31.5%), short stature 176 (23.7%), obesity 123 (16.5%), and calcium phosphate metabolism disorders 117 (15.7%). Other disorders seen were pubertal disorders 27 (3.6%), adrenal gland disorders 22 (3%), syndromes with endocrine features 14 (1.9%), sex development and gender disorders 6 (0.8%), pituitary and hypothalamic disorders 4 (0.5%), and mixed endocrine disorders 4 (0.5%). PED is a substantial source of morbidity in 26 cases and mortality in 2 cases. Conclusions Thyroid, growth, and obesity disorders were the most common PED. Pediatric endocrine disorders have a substantial source of morbidity and mortality among Saudi children and adolescents. This baseline data is useful for planning PED care at institutional and national levels.

Al-Baha，沙特阿拉伯非糖尿病儿童内分泌紊乱的模式和临床结果:一项回顾性研究

摘要目的儿科内分泌疾病(PED)是沙特阿拉伯医疗卫生挑战的共同组成部分。我们旨在描述沙特阿拉伯Al-Baha地区不同非糖尿病儿童内分泌疾病的模式和临床结果，旨在早期诊断和治疗。方法回顾性分析2018 - 2022年在儿科内分泌诊所等就诊的744例非糖尿病性内分泌疾病患儿和青少年的临床和实验室资料。结果共纳入744例患者，其中女性377例，男性361例，男女比例为1.04/1。患者年龄2个月~ 17岁，平均年龄(9.87±4.59)岁。最常见的内分泌紊乱是甲状腺紊乱234例(31.5%)，身材矮小176例(23.7%)，肥胖123例(16.5%)，磷酸钙代谢紊乱117例(15.7%)。其他疾病有青春期疾病27例(3.6%)、肾上腺疾病22例(3%)、内分泌特征综合征14例(1.9%)、性发育和性别障碍6例(0.8%)、垂体和下丘脑疾病4例(0.5%)、混合性内分泌疾病4例(0.5%)。PED是26例发病和2例死亡的主要原因。结论甲状腺、生长和肥胖障碍是最常见的PED。儿童内分泌失调是沙特儿童和青少年发病和死亡的一个重要原因。这一基线数据有助于在机构和国家层面规划PED的治疗。
