Recent acquisitions in imaging diagnosis of digestive disorders in children

REZUMAT

Elastography is a new imaging method based on ultrasounds, which allows the assessment of the tissues structure in terms of their stiffness, being useful in the exploration of different organs and systems, having more and more clinical applications. The development of the contrast agents of second generation led to the amplification of the ultrasound signals using the microbubbles, which can not cross the vascular wall and are eliminated through exhalation within 15 minutes.

Material and methods. We present the results of a prospective study conducted in our Clinic, assessing the performance of the ARFI method (”Acustic Radiation Force Imaging”) in the assessment of the liver elasticity in children and we present some pediatric cases in which the ultrasound with contrast has brought real benefits, making it easier to diagnose and facilitate optimal therapeutic decisions.

REZUMAT

Elastografia este o nouă metodă imagistică bazată pe ultrasunete, care permite evaluarea structurii ţesuturilor în ceea ce priveşte rigiditatea lor, fiind utilă în explorarea diferitelor organe şi sisteme şi cu tot mai multe aplicaţii clinice. Dezvoltarea substanţelor de contrast de generaţia a doua a dus la amplificarea semnalului ecografic cu ajutorul microbulelor, care nu pot străbate peretele vascular şi care se elimină prin exhalare în 15 minute.

Material şi metode. Prezentăm rezultatele unui studiu prospectiv derulat în clinica noastră, evaluând performanţele metodei ARFI (impulsul de difuzie a forţei acustice) în evaluarea elasticităţii ficatului la copii; prezentăm şi câteva cazuri pediatrice în care ecografia cu contrast a adus reale beneficii, uşurând diagnosticul şi facilitând luarea deciziilor terapeutice optime.

REZUMAT

Introducere. Cu o incidenţă estimată la nivel mondial de 6 în 1.000 de nou-născuţi, malformaţiile cardiace congenitale (MCC) sunt una dintre principalele cauze ale mortalităţii în primul an de viaţă. Principalele probleme în managementul malformaţiilor cardiace congenitale (MCC), în România, sunt lipsa de date care să descrie incidenţa reală la nivel populaţional, lipsa de standardizare în diagnosticul şi raportarea MCC la nivel naţional. În România, există doar încercări locale de a dezvolta un registru de malformaţii cardiace.

Obiective. Măsurarea şi analiza incidenţei MCC la copii în Centrul Pediatric Cardiovascular al Institutului de Urgenţă pentru Boli Cardiovasculare şi Transplant Tg. Mureş (IUBCvT) în vederea determinării ratei de înrolare, stabilirea formularului de înregistrare şi urmărire al Registrului Clinic de Monitorizare al MCC.

Material şi metodă. A fost realizat un studiu descriptiv retrospectiv al copiilor externaţi cu un diagnostic principal sau comorbiditate din categoria Q20-Q28 (Malformaţii cardiace congenitale – ICD 10 AM), în perioada 2008-2013, la nivelul Centrului Pediatric Cardiovascular al Institutului de Urgenţă pentru Boli Cardiovasculare şi Transplant Târgu-Mureş. Lotul de studiu a cuprins un număr de 839 de nou-născuţi externaţi din secţia Neonatologie a Spitalului Clinic Judeţean de Urgenţă Târgu-Mureş (SCJU), respectiv 4.423 de copii externaţi din IUBCvT.

Rezultate. Incidenţa MCC la nivelul nou-născuţilor externaţi din SCUJ a variat între 5,23% şi 11,47%. Din cei 839 nou-născuţi, 139 au fost operaţi în cadrul IUBCvT în primele 30 zile de viaţă. Cele mai frecvente malformaţii sunt Comunicaţie interauriculară (46,52%), Permeabilitatea canalului arterial (22,10%), Comunicaţia interventriculară (9,04%). Morbiditatea spitalizată pe grupe de boli la nivelul IUBCvT demonstrează ponderea ridicată a Comunicaţiei interventriculare (20,05%), a Comunicaţiei interauriculare (15,98%) şi a Permeabilităţii canalului arterial (13,05%). Din cei 1.255 de copii la care s-a intervenit chirurgical, cele mai frecvente intervenţii chirurgicale (17,93%) au fost pen tru Comunicaţie interauriculară.

Concluzii. Întocmirea unui Registru al MCC este importantă pentru depistarea, diagnosticul, monitorizarea şi instituirea unei atitudini terapeutice adecvate.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CONGENITAL HEART MALFORMATIONS IN CHILDREN AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS IN DEVELOPING A CLINICAL MONITORING REGISTRY

ABSTRACT

Introduction. With an estimated incidence of 6 cases to 1000 births worldwide, congenital cardiac malformations (CHM) are one of the main causes of death during the fi rst year of life. The main issues regarding CHM management in Romania are the lack of data that describe the true incidence on population level, lack of standardized diagnosis and CHM reporting at national level. In Romania we see only local attempts at establishing such a CHM registry.

Objectives. Measuring and analysing the incidence of CHM in children within the Pediatric Cardiovascular center of the Emergency Cardiovascular and Transplant Institute in Targu Mures (IUBCvT) in order to determine de rate of enrollment, conturing the registration and follow-up form for CHM.

Material and methods. We have conducted a retrospective, descriptive study concerning children discharged between 2008-2013, with a main diagnosis or comorbidity belonging to the category Q20-Q28 (Congenital cardiac malformations – ICD 10 AM), belonging to the Pediatric Cardiovascular center of IUBCvT. The study group was made up of 839 new-borns discharged from the Neonatology clinic of the Mures County Emergency Clinical Hospital (SCJU) and 2181 children discharged from IUBCvT.

Results. The incidence of CHM in new-borns discharged from SCJU varied between 5.23% and 11.47%. Of the total 839 new-borns, 139 underwent surgery in the IUBCvT within the fi rst 30 days of life. The most frequent malformations found were interatrial communication (46.52%), persistent ductus arteriosus (22.10%), interventricular communication (9.04%). Disease group based morbidity within the IUBCvT demonstrates the large share of interventricular communication (20.05%), interatrial communication (15.98%) respectively of persistent ductus arteriosus (13.05%). Of the 1255 children that underwent surgery, the most frequent procedures (17.93%) were conducted for interatrial communication.

Conclusions. Establishing a CHM clinical registry is important for the screening, diagnosing, monitoring of congenital cardiac malformations as well as aiding in choosing the right treatment path.
