The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) on the size of the pancreas in children.
Pancreas size was evaluated sonographically in a group of 60 diabetic children and adolescents, aged 3-15 years, and 60 sex- and age-matched healthy controls.
A significant reduction in pancreatic area and other parameters was found in diabetic patients particularly in children aged 8-12 and 13-15 years. The pancreas was larger in children 3-7 years old who had had IDDM for 2 years of less (mean size, 8.61 cm2) than in children 8-12 and 13-15 years old who had had IDDM for more than 5 years (mean size, 8.06 and 8.40 cm2, respectively). An inverse correlation between area of the pancreas and duration of IDDM was seen in all age groups (p < 0.05).
Diabetes affects the growth of the pancreas in children with IDDM. Sonography can be used to noninvasively evaluate the influence of the disease on pancreas size.
本研究旨在评估胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(IDDM)对儿童胰腺大小的影响。
对一组60名年龄在3至15岁的糖尿病儿童和青少年以及60名年龄和性别匹配的健康对照者进行胰腺大小的超声评估。
糖尿病患者的胰腺面积和其他参数显著减小,尤其是8至12岁和13至15岁的儿童。病程小于2年的3至7岁IDDM儿童的胰腺(平均大小为8.61平方厘米)比病程超过5年的8至12岁和13至15岁儿童的胰腺更大(平均大小分别为8.06平方厘米和8.40平方厘米)。在所有年龄组中,胰腺面积与IDDM病程呈负相关(p < 0.05)。
糖尿病影响IDDM儿童的胰腺生长。超声检查可用于无创评估该疾病对胰腺大小的影响。
