Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains a pressing pediatric issue to date. Despite the availability of clinical guidelines and other publications that highlight the objective causes for the lack of effectiveness of treatment and prevention of IDA in children, the subjective reasons are unrenowned.Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate health beliefs of pediatricians and parents on the problem of anemia in children to investigation into the objective and subjective causes for inadequate control of iron deficiency conditions in childhood.Materials and methods. In September 2022, single-step parallel survey of pediatricians and parents on the problem of IDA in children was conducted by random sampling technique using original questionnaires. The questions were formulated on five topics and related to a common understanding of the term “anemia”; priority reference sources; availability of diagnosis of IDA in medical institutions (MI); the position of pediatricians and parents on the treatment and prevention of IDA in children. Based on the results, the main subjective and objective barriers to the control of IDA in children are identified. The χ2 method was used for the comparative evaluation of the responses. The differences were considered significant at statistical significance of p < 0.05.Results. Pediatricians (n = 81) and parents (n = 363) from 23 members of the Russian Federation took the survey. Among the objective barriers to the IDA control in children, the low availability of serum ferritin in MI, difficulties of venous access in children, a shortage of a range of iron preparations for children on Russian market were revealed. The subjective barriers were the skepticism of pediatricians and parents about the necessity for conservative prevention of IDA; poor knowledge of the criteria for diagnosis IDA and completion of IDA therapy by pediatricians; insufficient independence and selectivity of pediatricians when prescribing iron preparations; orientation of the majority of parents (93.7%) to the opinion of doctors, along with the actual rarity of full-fledged conversations with a pediatrician (16.3%).Conclusion. The main limitation of this study was the random sample method inclusion of respondents due to the impossibility of conducting a full-fledged population study. Elimination of the revealed subjective and objective factors can contribute to improving the detection of IDA in children, early appointment and higher effectiveness of treatment, reducing the frequency of disease recurrences, as well as increasing the confidence of parents in pediatricians.","PeriodicalId":19997,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric pharmacology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86915539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thrombocytopathies are topical issues of pediatrics. Platelet dysfunction clinically manifests as thrombotic and hemorrhagic events of various severity and location. Platelet function can be evaluated via aggregatometry. Specified parameters for aggregatometry can be used in pediatrics as a standard for evaluating platelet function in peripheral blood. There were no similar studies in children in Russian Federation.Objective. The aim of the study is — to justify the significance of reference ranges (RR) development for platelet aggregatometry in pediatrics.Methods. The study included 30 relatively healthy patients aged from 1 to 18 years. Laboratory tests included complete blood count via automatic hematological analyzer; platelet aggregation in whole blood was evaluated via impedance aggregometer; plasmic hemostasis component (Quick prothrombin), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and fibrinogen were evaluated on automatic coagulation analyzer; molecular genetic study of platelet genes polymorphisms was performed via real-time PCR. Several inducers were used to study platelet aggregation: thrombin receptor activating peptide (TRAP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), arachidonic acid (ASPI). Instrumental methods included electrocardiography, ultrasound of abdomen, urinary system, and thyroid gland.Results. The study included 16 girls and 14 boys. The median age was 9.4, interquartile range (IQR) was 6.5; 14,1. RR for platelet aggregation indicators were determined for all aggregation inducers (thrombin, ADP, arachidonic acid) as a result of the study.Conclusion. The obtained data will allow to improve the diagnosis approach for platelet dysfunction regarding the established reference ranges. The results of further research may contribute in the development of the algorithm for controlling antiplatelet therapy in patients with contraindications or with genetically determined low sensitivity to thrombocyte aggregation inhibitors based on acetylsalicylic acid.","PeriodicalId":19997,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric pharmacology","volume":"244 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80568272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
