We aimed to evaluate clinical features and follow-up data of children with functional and secondary constipation.
Hospital records of 335 constipated children were evaluated. Children were divided into 2 groups as functional and secondary, and were compared with regard to clinical and anthropometric data.
Of 335 children (M/F 167/168, mean age 4.3±3.5 years) 91% had functional constipation (group 1). Family history of constipation was significantly higher in group 1. Malnutrition was found in 18% of group 1, 56% in group 2 (p < 0.001).
If a constipated child has a family history of constipation but does not have failure to thrive and constipation begins at an older age, functional constipation is more probable.
我们旨在评估功能性便秘和继发性便秘儿童的临床特征及随访数据。
对335例便秘儿童的医院记录进行评估。将儿童分为功能性便秘组和继发性便秘组两组,并就临床和人体测量数据进行比较。
335例儿童(男/女167/168,平均年龄4.3±3.5岁)中,91%患有功能性便秘(第1组)。第1组便秘家族史显著更高。第1组18%存在营养不良,第2组为56%(p<0.001)。
如果便秘儿童有便秘家族史,但没有生长发育迟缓且便秘始于较大年龄,则更可能为功能性便秘。
