Abstract

INTRODUCTION

otolaryngological disorders vary among children due to diverse underlying aetiologies and pathologic processes.This study audits the pattern of paediatric ear, nose and throat diseases seen at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital.

METHODS

a cross-sectional retrospective review of medical records of children (aged 0 - 17 years) seen between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2020 were retrieved and analysed using IBM SPSS version 25.0. Results were presented as frequencies and percentages for categorical variables and mean and standard deviation for continuous variables.

RESULTS

a total of 5,533 paediatric visits were documented over the study period, making up 36.7% of all patients seen. There were 2,516 completed paediatric medical records. Males slightly predominated, accounting for 1,369 (54.5%), mean age was 6.77 years (SD ± 5.10) and ranged 2 weeks to 17 years. Age groups 0-4 years were the most affected. Ear disorders were the commonest disorders found (1637, 65.1%), followed by throat/neck disorders (650, 25.8%) and then nose disorders (229, 9.1%). The top 2 disorders based on regions were as follows: Cerumen Auris (426, 16.9%) and Otitis Externa (252, 10.2%) for ear disorders; Chronic / Allergic rhinosinusitis (107, 4.3%) and foreign body in the nose (72, 2.9%) for nose disorders and Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (544, 21.6%) and speech disorders (23, 0.9%) for throat disorders respectively.

CONCLUSION

among the paediatric group of patients, ear disorders predominated. Cerumen Auris, Adenotonsillar hypertrophy and chronic/allergic rhinosinusitis were the commonest ENT disorders.

摘要

简介

由于不同的病因和病理过程，耳鼻喉科疾病在儿童中存在差异。本研究对 Rivers State University Teaching Hospital 就诊的儿科耳、鼻、喉疾病进行了分析。

方法

本研究采用回顾性分析的方法，对 2018 年 1 月 1 日至 2020 年 12 月 31 日期间就诊的 0-17 岁儿童的病历进行了研究，采用 IBM SPSS 版本 25.0 进行分析。结果以分类变量的频率和百分比以及连续变量的均值和标准差表示。

结果

在研究期间，共记录了 5533 次儿科就诊，占所有就诊患者的 36.7%。有 2516 份完整的儿科病历。男性略占优势，占 1369 例（54.5%），平均年龄为 6.77 岁（SD ± 5.10），年龄范围为 2 周至 17 岁。0-4 岁年龄组受影响最严重。耳部疾病是最常见的疾病（1637 例，占 65.1%），其次是咽喉/颈部疾病（650 例，占 25.8%），然后是鼻部疾病（229 例，占 9.1%）。根据区域划分，前两种疾病如下：耳垢（426 例，占 16.9%）和外耳炎（252 例，占 10.2%）；鼻部疾病分别为慢性/变应性鼻鼻窦炎（107 例，占 4.3%）和鼻腔异物（72 例，占 2.9%）；咽喉疾病分别为腺样体扁桃体肥大（544 例，占 21.6%）和言语障碍（23 例，占 0.9%）。
