ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Many studies have shown that children born small for gestational age are at a metabolic disadvantage. Breastfeeding is associated with reduced risk of developing metabolic syndrome. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether ponderal index, weight, length or head circumference at birth affect early exclusive breastfeeding discontinuation. DESIGN: Information from medical records of full-term infants attending the same paediatric clinic was used to examine the relationship between birth size and failure to breastfeed within 28 days after birth. Details of demographics and diagnoses were prospectively recorded. Feeding method was assessed at each child visit by their healthcare provider. Feeding practices were compared between infants of high, normal and low ponderal index at birth. RESULTS: Multivariate models (p's ≤ 0.02) confirmed that the chance of exclusive breastfeeding continuation within 4 weeks of life was less in infants whose birth weight was below 2780 g or whose neonatal head circumference was < 33 cm. Birth length did not account for this effect. Ponderal index was not associated with a higher risk of early discontinuation of exclusive breastfeeding. CONCLUSIONS: This study reports that birth weight ≥ 2780 g and head circumference at birth ≥ 33 cm are independent predictors of breastfeeding onset success.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Revisar la actuación habitual ante un traumatismo craneal (TCE) leve en los Servicios de Urgencias y determinar los factores predictivos más importantes de lesión intracraneal (LIC). Material y métodos: Estudio multicéntrico prospectivo de 18 meses de duración realizado en 9 hospitales españoles. Se recogieron los datos de los pacientes menores de 18 años atendidos en Urgencias por TCE leve (puntuación en la escala de Glasgow de 13 a 15) en las 72h previas. Resultados: Se incluyeron 1.070 pacientes (61,2% de sexo masculino). La mediana de edad fue de 2,4 años (P 25-75%; de 0,9 a 6,4 años). La mediana de tiempo trascurrido desde el TCE hasta la consulta fue de 1h (P 25-75%; de 0,6 a 2,5h). Se practicó radiografía simple de cráneo al 64,5% de los niños y tomografía computarizada al 9%, resultó normal el 91,4% y el 84,4%, respectivamente. La prevalencia de LIC fue del 1,4% en la muestra total (intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%: de 0,8 a 2,3). Precisó ingreso el 25,3% de los pacientes, 4 (3,7%) requirieron neurocirugía y ningún niño falleció. En el análisis multivariante, las variables que se asociaron a un riesgo incrementado de LIC fueron la pérdida de conciencia (odds ratio [OR] de 4,2; IC del 95%: de 1,1 a 17; p = 0,045), el deterioro neurológico (OR de 8,8; IC del 95%: de 2,1 a 37,6; p = 0,003) y la detección de un cefalohematoma (OR de 14,6; IC del 95%: de 4,9 a 44; p<0,001). Conclusiones: La combinación de parámetros clínicos permite seleccionar de forma adecuada a los pacientes con TCE leve que precisan exploraciones complementarias. En consecuencia, el uso rutinario de la radiografía de cráneo no parece justificado (AU)


Objective: To determine management practices of minor head trauma in children evaluated at Spanish Hospital Emergency Departments and to determine patient variables associated with intracranial injury. Methods: Multicenter and prospective study during 18 months in 9 hospitals in Spain. Patients up to the age of 18 years with minor head trauma (Glasgow Coma Scale score higher than or equal to 13 on admission), treated in Emergency Departments and with a maximum onset of 72h since the traumatism, were included in the study. Results: A total of 1070 patients were studied with a median age of 2.4 years (p25-75 0.9 6.4 years); 61.2% were male. The median time between head trauma and medical consultation was 1 hour (p25-75 0.6 2.5h). Skull X-rays were performed on 64.5% of the children and a head CT scan on 9%; 91.4% of X-ray and 84.4% of CT were normal. The prevalence of intracranial injury was 1.4% (95% CI: 0.8 2.3). Twenty-five point three percent of the patients were admitted; 4 (3.7%) required neurosurgical intervention during admission. None of the patients died. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified loss of consciousness (OR 4.2, 95% CI: 1.1 17; P=0.045), neurological deterioration (OR 8.8, 95% CI: 2.1 37.6; P=0.003) and cephalhaematoma (OR 14.6, 95% CI: 4.9 44; P <0.001) as independent predictors of intracranial injury. Conclusions: The combination of clinical parameters allows selection of patients with minor head trauma who need complementary explorations. In consequence, the routine use of skull X-ray in their initial evaluation is unnecessary (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Conocer las causas de los accidentes en la edad pediátrica, su distribución por edades, lugar y tiempo en que se producen, el tipo de lesiones y la mortalidad. Métodos: Se incluyen los pacientes con edad inferior a los 17 años, ingresados correlativamente en un periodo de 18 meses en la UCI pediátrica del Hospital de Sant Pau de Barcelona como consecuencia de un accidente. Resultados: El número total de pacientes fue de 132. Las causas más numerosas fueron los traumatismos (93,18 por ciento), de los cuales el 69,10 por ciento fue consecuencia de accidentes de tráfico, destacando los de motocicleta en un 39,99 por ciento de las ocasiones. El mayor número correspondió a los niños de entre 7 y 14 años (37,87 por ciento). El traumatismo craneoencefálico (TCE) puro o asociado a politraumatismo fue la entidad predominante (80,48 por ciento) y la mortalidad global fue del 8,33 por ciento. El 23,48 por ciento requirió cirugía. El día de mayor siniestralidad fue el domingo (18,18 por ciento) entre las 16 y las 20 horas (36,36 por ciento). El 88,63 por ciento ingresó procedente de otro hospital, el 72,63 por ciento de ellos fue transferido en UCI móvil del Sistema de Emergencias Médicas y el 27,37 por ciento restante en helicóptero del equipo de transporte pe-diátrico del propio hospital. Conclusiones: La principal enfermedad derivada de los accidentes en la edad pediátrica son los traumatismos, en especial los relacionados con los accidentes de tráfico. La edad más frecuente es entre los 7 y 14 años, y el TCE es la entidad más habitual. El día en que más accidentes se registran es el domingo y la hora más común entre las 16 y las 20 horas (AU)

ABSTRACT

Background Cerebral venous thrombosis is an inusual disease in neonatal age. Increasing reports of this disorder had described since magnetic resonance angiography is used. Case report Newborn of apropriate seze for gestational age was delivered at 35 weeks of gestation. Refered a severe hipoxic-isquemic disease with multisistemic afectation. The second day of life presented disseminated intravascular coagulation with pulmonary bleeding. The third day, the infant developed seizures that required treatment with diazepam in continuous perfussion. MR angiography visualized superior sagital and transvers sinus thrombosis. Coagulation study detected factor V Leiden. Comments Frecuently venous cerebral thrombosis is presenting with lethargy and seizures. The most common vessels involved are sagital and transvers sinus. It is described in association with exogenous risk factors that increasing blood hyperviscosity and additional inhered coagulation dissorders such as defects on antihrombina III, protein C and S and activate protein C resistance. The last defect has a hight prevalence in subjects with trombosis events.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: La trombosis venosa cerebral es un hallazgo neuropatológico infrecuente dentro del período neonatal. Es una patología poco descrita hasta el momento en el recién nacido, pero gracias al desarrollo de nuevas técnicas de neuroimagen, como la angiorresonancia, el número de casos descritos en la literatura es cada vez mayor. Caso clínico Recién nacido pretérmino de 35 semanas de gestación con enfermedad hipóxico-isquémica grave con afectación multiorgánica. En su segundo día de vida presenta hemorragia pulmonar grave secundaria a coagulopatía de consumo. Al tercer día de vida presenta convulsiones clónicas generalizadas que precisan tratamiento con diazepam en infusión continua. Se practica angiorresonancia que muestra oclusión de los senos venosos longitudinal y lateral derecho. Se practica estudio de hemostasia, detectándose mutación heterocigota R506Q para el factor V de coagulación. Comentarios La trombosis venosa cerebral se presenta clínicamente con depresión neurológica y convulsiones de manifestación precoz. El seno longitudinal es el vaso más frecuentemente implicado, afectándose en el 80 por ciento de los casos. Etiológicamente la trombosis venosa cerebral se ha relacionado con aquellas situaciones clínicas en las que se produce un incremento de la viscosidad sanguínea, que actúan como factores de riesgo que precipitan la formación de trombos. Sin embargo, varios estudios demuestran la presencia de alteraciones congénitas en el sistema fibrinolítico tales como defectos de antitrombina III, proteínas C y S y factor V de Leiden. Este último se encuentra con una elevada prevalencia en los sujetos con fenómenos trombóticos (AU)

ABSTRACT

Authors present miocardiac perforation in two children 41 and 20 days old respectively, in whom a central venous catheter by phlebotomy for administration of fluids and parenteral nutrition was introduced: the end of the catheter was left at the level of right auricule. In the first case the perforation presented two hours after introducing the catheter, and in the second case, perforation was later. In neither case were there clinical signs of cardiac tamponade, and an unexpected heart respiratory arrest occurred which was reanimated by a pericardial punction. In the second case perforation was discovered by means of necroscopic study.
