Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) was shown to affect pediatric mental health, child neglect, and the occurrence of traumatic injuries. This study aimed to characterize pediatric trauma cases presenting to our institution before and after the pandemic began. Materials and Methods: Patients with trauma who were admitted to our emergency department between March, 2019 and March, 2021 were included. The patients were classified into two groups as before and after the pandemic began (March, 2020). Trauma characteristics, the severity of the injury, and prognosis were assessed. The patients’ injury severity scores (ISS) and pediatric trauma scores (PTS) were noted. Results: A total of 1,718 patients were included in this study. The number of pediatric trauma admissions dropped from 1,039 to 679 after the pandemic started. There was no difference between these groups in terms of age (p=0.874) or gender (p=0.106). There was a significant decrease in the number of traumatic injuries (p<0.001) especially during the first shutdown period (April, May, and June, 2020. Additionally, there was a significant increase in terms of foreign body aspiration (p=0.001) and pedestrian injuries (p=0.016). Although a significant increase was noted in the ISS of the patients (p<0.001), no differences were found between the PTSs (p=0.075) or multi-organ injuries (p=1.000). Also, no significant differences were observed regarding mortality (p=0.650), household accidents (p=0.600), trauma type (p=0.533), the need for transfusion (p=0.166), surgery (p=0.077) or mechanical ventilation (p=0.464) between the two groups. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic altered social patterns, leading to a decrease in pediatric traumas. This decrease was most prominent during the shutdown period. The variables showing severe trauma, such as the need for surgery, did not change despite a significant increase in ISS. This was attributed to a decrease in admissions for minor trauma.","PeriodicalId":42409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135304940","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}

MPS type-II is characterized by dermatan and heparan sulfate storage in all tissues due to iduronate sulfatase (IDS) enzyme deficiency caused by IDS gene mutations (1). It was first described in two brothers by Hunter (2) in 1917. Hunter syndrome (MPS type-II) is an X-linked inherited disease, whereas all the other types of MPS are autosomal recessively inherited. Although it is almost exclusively seen in males, there are a few rare female cases reported. Its incidence is estimated to be between 1:100,000 and 1:170,000 male births (3).","PeriodicalId":42409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"206-208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47849139","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}

While some guidelines recommend screening for dyslipidemia in children, others emphasize that there is insufficient evidence for screening for dyslipidemia in those less than 20 years of age. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a lipid screening program and reveal the pros and cons of this program. Materials and Methods: All patients referred to a paediatric metabolism outpatient clinic by family physicians with the suspicion of dyslipidemia in a lipid screening program at schools were investigated. Demographic and physical examination findings, screening lipid profiles and fasting control lipid profiles of the patients were evaluated. The definitive diagnosis with fasting lipid profile and genetic analysis were recorded. Results: Two hundred seventy-four patients suspected with dyslipidemia were enrolled in the study. The mean age of study group was 9.2±3.2 (5-17) years. While 158 (57.7%) patients were admitted with high total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high triglyceride level was detected in 58 (21.2%) patients via a paediatric lipid screening program. A high TC level was revealed in 26 (9.5%) patients. With the control fasting lipid profile, 100 (36.5%) patients had a normal lipid profile. Fifty-nine (21.5%) patients were diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and hyperchylomicronemia and hypobetalipoproteinemia were revealed in 5 (1.8%) and 4 (1.5%) patients, respectively. Eleven patients diagnosed with FH did not declare hyperlipidemia in parents. In a screening of these patients’ immediate families, 11 parents and 3 siblings were diagnosed with familial hyperlipidemia. Conclusion: This is the first study performed to date that evaluated the outcomes of a lipid screening program on school age children in Turkey. We found that this screening program is effective in diagnosing not only the patients but also asymptomatic parents and siblings. Evaluation and verification of dyslipidemia should be performed under fasting conditions to avoid false positive results.","PeriodicalId":42409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"155-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42130804","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}
