RESUMO

Introducción. La intolerancia a la lactosa es una afección frecuente en pediatría, cuyo diagnóstico erróneo conlleva morbilidad. El objetivo primario del estudio fue evaluar la utilidad del incremento del perímetro abdominal durante la prueba de hidrógeno espirado como predictor de intolerancia a la lactosa. El objetivo secundario fue analizar la influencia del índice de masa corporal, de la medida de la cintura y de la edad en la distensión abdominal de pacientes intolerantes a la lactosa. Población y métodos. Se incluyó a 138 sujetos de entre 3 y 15 años de edad a los cuales se les realizaron mediciones seriadas del perímetro abdominal y determinaciones de hidrógeno espirado cada 30 minutos por 3 horas, durante la prueba de hidrógeno espirado. Resultados. Del total de la muestra, 35 (25,4%) resultaron intolerantes a la lactosa. El incremento de 0,85 cm en el perímetro abdominal comparado con el perímetro abdominal basal tiene sensibilidad del 88% y especificidad del 85% para predecir intolerancia a la lactosa (OR 42,14; IC 95%: 13,08-135,75; p <0,001). El índice de masa corporal y la medida de la cintura no afectaron la distensibilidad del abdomen (p= NS); sin embargo, la edad modificó el momento de la distensión. Conclusiones. El incremento del perímetro abdominal de 0,85 cm en relación con el perímetro abdominal basal durante la prueba de hidrógeno espirado es un parámetro útil para diagnosticar la intolerancia a la lactosa en pediatría. Las variaciones en relación con el índice de masa corporal y la cintura no modificaron la utilidad del incremento del perímetro abdominal a diferencia de la edad.


Introduction. Lactose intolerance is a common disease in pediatrics, and its wrong diagnosis will lead to morbidity. The primary objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of an increased waist circumference during the hydrogen breath test as a predictor of lactose intolerance. The secondary objective was to analyze the impact of body mass index, waist circumference measurement, and age on the abdominal distension of patients with lactose intolerance. Population and methods. A total of 138 subjects aged 3 to 15 years were included. They underwent serial measurements of the waist circumference and hydrogen levels in the breath every 30 minutes over 3 hours during the hydrogen breath test. Results. Out of the entire sample, 35 (25.4%) patients had lactose intolerance. An increase of 0.85 cm in waist circumference compared to the baseline waist circumference results in a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 85% to predict lactose intolerance (odds ratio: 42.14, 95% confidence interval: 13.08-135.75, p < 0.001). The body mass index and waist circumference measurement did not affect abdominal distension (p= not significant); however, age modified the time of distension. Conclusions. A 0.85 cm increase in waist circumference compared to the baseline waist circumference during the hydrogen breath test is a useful parameter for the diagnosis of lactose intolerance in pediatrics. Variations in relation to body mass index and waist circumference did not affect the usefulness of an increased waist circumference, unlike age.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Lactose intolerance is a common disease in pediatrics, and its wrong diagnosis will lead to morbidity. The primary objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of an increased waist circumference during the hydrogen breath test as a predictor of lactose intolerance. The secondary objective was to analyze the impact of body mass index, waist circumference measurement, and age on the abdominal distension of patients with lactose intolerance. POPULATION AND METHODS: A total of 138 subjects aged 3 to 15 years were included. They underwent serial measurements of the waist circumference and hydrogen levels in the breath every 30 minutes over 3 hours during the hydrogen breath test. RESULTS: Out of the entire sample, 35 (25.4%) patients had lactose intolerance. An increase of 0.85 cm in waist circumference compared to the baseline waist circumference results in a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 85% to predict lactose intolerance (odds ratio: 42.14, 95% confidence interval: 13.08-135.75, p ≤ 0.001). The body mass index and waist circumference measurement did not affect abdominal distension (p= not significant); however, age modified the time of distension. CONCLUSIONS: A 0.85 cm increase in waist circumference compared to the baseline waist circumference during the hydrogen breath test is a useful parameter for the diagnosis of lactose intolerance in pediatrics. Variations in relation to body mass index and waist circumference did not affect the usefulness of an increased waist circumference, unlike age.
