COLITA ULCERATIVA SI BOALA CROHN LA VARSTA PEDIATRICA – TENDINTE DE EVOLUTIE IN ROMANIA

REZUMAT

Obiective. În ultimii ani, s-a observat o creştere a numărului de pacienţi diagnosticaţi cu boală inflamatorie intestinală (BII). Ne-am propus să determinăm epidemiologia acestei patologii în rândul populaţiei pediatrice din sudul României, după o perioadă de 10 ani.

Material şi metodă. Studiul de faţă este unul retrospectiv, efectuat în cadrul Clinicilor de Gastroenterologie Pediatrică din Bucureşti şi are drept scop identificarea caracteristicilor epidemiologice ale pacienţilor pediatrici care suferă de BII. Am selectat toţi pacienţii aflaţi în evidenţa cu boală inflamatorie intestinală în anul 2011. Un studiu asemănător a fost realizat în urmă cu 10 ani, raportând cazurile aflate în evidenţă în anul 2001, ceea ce a permis o analiză comparativă a datelor obţinute.

Rezultate. Am identificat un număr de 74 de cazuri de boală inflamatorie intestinală, în timp ce în anul 2001 au fost menţionate 21 de cazuri. Dintre aceştia, 35 de cazuri au fost reprezentate de boala Crohn (47,29%) şi 39 de pacienţi au fost diagnosticaţi cu colită ulcerativă (52,7%). Studiul precedent a raportat 17 (81%), respectiv 4 (19%) cazuri. Vârsta medie de debut a simptomatologiei este de 10,2 ani în timp ce în 2001 a fost de 13,2 ani.

Concluzii. Numărul de cazuri de boală inflamatorie intestinală s-a triplat în ultimii 10 ani. Colita ulcerativă continuă să reprezinte cea mai frecventă formă, însă am observant o creştere a numărului de cazuri de boală Crohn. Deşi cele mai multe cazuri sunt reprezentate de pacienţi cu vârste de pe

ULCERATIVE COLITIS AND CROHN DISEASE IN CHILDREN – AN EVOLVING PROBLEM IN ROMANIA

Cristina Becheanu, Gabriela Lesanu, Roxana Smadeanu and Iulia Tincu

ABSTRACT

Objectives. In the past few years we observed an increase in the number of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We aimed to determine the epidemiology of this pathology among children in Romania over a 10 years period.

Matherial and methods. The survey was conducted in Pediatric Gastroenterology Departments in Bucharest. We selected patients beeing carred for inflammatory bowel disease in 2011. A similar study, performed 10 years ago in 2001, reported the same epidemiologic characteristics and comparative data were available.

Results. In 2001 we report 74 cases of inflammatory bowel disease, while there were 21 cases mentioned in 2001. We identified 35 cases of Crohn disease (47.29%) and 39 patients with ulcerative colitis (52.7%). The previous study reported 17 (81%) and 4 (19%), respectively. The mean age of onset of symptoms is 10.2 while in 2001 this was 13.2 years.

Conclusions. Inflammatory bowel disease has tripled in the last 10 years. Ulcerative colitis is still the most frequent form but we report a growing number of cases with Crohn disease.

Keywords: inflammatory bowel disease, epidemiology, age at onset
