Clinical Practice and Knowledge of Pediatric Surgeons about Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Children with Esophageal Atresia
Öz: Objective: The study examined the clinical practice and knowledge of pediatric surgeons regarding diagnosis and treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children with esophageal atresia (EA). Methods: Pediatric surgeons who were involved in diagnosis and treatment of EA from Turkey were included. An online survey, which included 26 questions related to clinical practice and knowledge of pediatric surgeons was administered via Google forms. The survey included questions regarding descriptive information of participants, diagnosis, treatment, and knowledge about EoE in children with EA. Results: Fifty seven pediatric surgeons responded to the study. Reflux symptoms resistant to treatment and recurrent anastomotic strictures were most commonly reported as symptoms of EoE. Endoscopy with biopsies was the most commonly selected diagnostic method for EoE with nearly half of the surgeons obtaining appropriate biopsies. Diet elimination, proton pump inhibitors and systemic steroids were most commonly reported to be used in the treatment of EoE. Of pediatric surgeons 17.5% (n=10) had low- level knowledge, 45.6% (n=26) had moderate level knowledge, and 36.8% (n=21) had high-level knowledge. Conclusion: The EoE can be seen in association with EA. This association may cause dysphagia, food impaction, vomiting and decreased quality of life. The study results suggest that pediatric surgeons have some strengths and weaknesses in terms of clinical practice and knowledge regarding diagnosis and treatment of EoE in children with EA. Therefore, improvement in the care of these children could be achieved by increasing awareness and knowledge of pediatric surgeons, decreasing heterogeneous nature of practice patterns and creating a consensus in clinical settings.
Anahtar Kelime: Çocuk Cerrahlarının Özofagus Atrezili Çocuklarda Eozinofilik Özofajit Konusunda Klinik Uygulamaları ve Bilgi Düzeyleri
Öz: Amaç: Çalışmada, çocuk cerrahlarının özofagus atrezili (ÖA) çocuklarda eozinofilik özofajitin (EÖ) tanı ve tedavisi ile ilgili klinik uygulamaları ve bilgileri incelenmiştir. Yöntemler: Türkiye’de ÖA’nın tanı ve tedavisinde görev alan çocuk cerrahları dahil edildi. Google formları aracılığıyla çocuk cerrahlarının klinik uygulamaları ve bilgileriyle ilgili 26 sorudan oluşan çevrimiçi bir anket uygulandı. Anket; katılımcıların tanımlayıcı bilgileri ve ÖA’lı çocuklarda EÖ’nün tanısı, tedavisi ve bunlarla ilgili bilgilerini içeren sorular içeriyordu. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 57 çocuk cerrahı yanıt verdi. Tedaviye dirençli reflü semptomları ve tekrarlayan anastomoz darlıkları en yaygın olan EÖ semptomları olarak bildirildi. Biyopsi ile endoskopi, EÖ için en yaygın olarak seçilen tanı yöntemiydi ve cerrahların yaklaşık yarısı uygun biyopsiler alıyordu. Diyet eliminasyonu, proton pompası inhibitörleri ve sistemik steroidler en yaygın EÖ tedavi yöntemleri olarak bildirildi. Çocuk cerrahlarının %17,5’i (n=10) düşük düzeyde bilgiye sahipti, %45,6’sı (n=26) orta düzeyde bilgiye sahipti ve %36,8’i (n=21) yüksek düzeyde bilgiye sahipti. Sonuç: EÖ, ÖA ile birlikte görülebilmektedir. Bu ilişki disfaji, gıda sıkışması, kusma ve yaşam kalitesinin düşmesine neden olabilmektedir. Çalışma sonuçları, ÖA’lı çocuklarda EÖ tanısı ve tedavisi ile ilgili klinik uygulama ve bilgi açısından çocuk cerrahlarının bazı güçlü ve zayıf yönlerinin olduklarını göstermektedir. Bu nedenle bu çocukların bakımında iyileşme, çocuk cerrahlarının farkındalığını ve bilgisini artırarak, uygulamaların heterojen doğasını azaltarak ve klinik ortamlarda bir fikir birliği oluşturarak sağlanabilir.
