Abstract | Ciljevi istraživanja: Ciljevi istraživanja bili su utvrditi postoji li razlika u učestalosti simptoma
i gradusa hipertrofije adenoidnih vegetacija između dobnih skupina i spolova. Također, ispitali
smo odgovara li gradus hipertrofije adenoidnih vegetacija težini simptoma i postoji li razlika
između dobnih skupina i spolova u povezanosti simptoma HA s nalazom fiberendoskopije
nazofarinksa. Naposlijetku ispitivali smo koji su najčešći simptomi HA i je li se oni razlikuju u
odnosu na dobne skupine i spolove
Materijali i metode: Materijali istraživanja specijalistički su nalazi kao i nalazi
fiberendoskopije nazofarinksa iz registra ORL dječje ambulante. U nalazima su navedeni
podatci o dobi i spolu ispitanika te anamnestički i heteroanamnestički podatci o simptomima
hipertrofije adenoida. Fiberendoskopskim pregledom nazofarinksa smo utvrdili gradus
hipertrofije adenoidnih vegetacija prema Cassanu. Specijalistički nalaz uključuje otoskopski,
rinoskopski i orofaringoskopski status.
Rezultati: Statističkom je obradom utvrđena češća pojavnost upale uha s efuzijom kod
djevojčica nego kod skupine dječaka (p=0,01). S druge strane, potpuna opstrukcija nosa,
djelomična opstrukcije nosa, noćno hrkanje, apneja i upala uha s efuzijom se češće pojavljuju
kod prve dobne skupine (p=0,00) dok je glavobolja češća kod druge skupine (p=0,00).
Analizom gradusa, dokazano je da prva skupina ima prosječno veći gradus od druge dobne
skupine (p=0,00) te da dječaci imaju prosječno statistički značajni niži gradus od djevojčica
(p=0,01). Dokazali smo da gradus hipertrofije odgovara težini simptoma za sve simptome osim
disanja na usta (p=0,30) i kašlja (p=0,20). Dokazali smo statističku povezanost simptoma s
višim gradusom kod muških ispitanika za sve simptome osim disanja na usta, rinoreje i kašlja.
S druge strane kod ženskih ispitanika smo dokazali povezanost simptoma s višim gradusom
kod svih simptoma osim upale uha s efuzijom i disanja na usta. U prvoj smo dobnoj skupini
dokazali statistički značajnu povezanost pojavnosti simptoma s visinom gradusa kod simptoma
potpune opstrukcije nosa, djelomične opstrukcije nosa, noćnoga hrkanja, nazalnoga govora,
apneje, čestih upala uha i kašlja. U drugoj dobnoj skupini smo dokazali statistički značajnu
povezanost simptoma s visinom gradusa za simptome noćno hrkanje, nazalni govor i česte upale
uha. Naposlijetku, rinoreja, noćno hrkanje, djelomična opstrukcija nosa i nazalni govor najčešći
su simptomi jednako zastupljeni kod dječaka i djevojčica, dok se noćno hrkanja(p=0,00) i
djelomična opstrukcije nosa(p=0,00) češće pojavljuju u prvoj dobnoj skupini.
Zaključak: Fiberendoskopija nazofarinksa vrlo je pouzdana metoda koja pruža snažnu
korelaciju između simptoma i gradusa HA koji odgovaraju težini simptoma tako da su veći
45
gradusi povezani s težom simptomatologijom. U djece mlađe dobne skupine nalazimo i više
graduse HA te značajnu povezanost pojavnosti gotovo svih simptoma s visinom gradusa. |
Abstract (english) | Objectives: The objectives of the research were to determine whether there is a difference in
the frequency of symptoms and degrees of hypertrophy of adenoid vegetations between age
groups and genders. In addition, we examined whether the degree of hypertrophy of adenoid
vegetations corresponds to the severity of symptoms and whether there is a difference between
age groups and sexes in the association of symptoms of hypertrophy of adenoid vegetations
with the findings of fiberendoscopy of the nasopharynx. Finally, we examined what are the
most common symptoms of hypertrophy of adenoid vegetations and whether they differ in
relation to age groups and genders.
Materials and methods: The research materials are specialist findings as well as the findings
of fiberendoscopy of the nasopharynx from the register of the ENT children's clinic. The
findings include data on the age and gender of the subjects, as well as anamnestic and heteroanamnetic data on symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy. Fiberendoscopic examination of the
nasopharynx determined the degree of adenoid vegetation hypertrophy according to Cassan.
Specialist findings include otoscopic, rhinoscopic and oropharyngoscopic status.
Results: Statistical processing revealed a more frequent occurrence of otitis with effusion in
girls than in the group of boys (p=0.01). On the other hand, complete nasal obstruction, partial
nasal obstruction, night snoring, apnea and otitis with effusion occur more often in the first age
group (p=0.00), while headache is more common in the second group (p=0.00). By analyzing
grades, it was proven that the first group has an average higher grade than the second age group
(p=0.00) and that boys have an average statistically significantly lower grade than girls
(p=0.01). We proved that the degree of hypertrophy corresponds to the severity of symptoms
for all symptoms except mouth breathing (p=0.30) and cough (p=0.20). We proved a statistical
association of symptoms with a higher degree in male subjects for all symptoms except mouth
breathing, rhinorrhea and cough. On the other hand, in female subjects, we proved the
association of symptoms with a higher grade in all symptoms except ear inflammation with
effusion and mouth breathing. In the first age group, we demonstrated a statistically significant
association of the occurrence of symptoms with the height of the degree in the symptoms of
complete nasal obstruction, partial nasal obstruction, night snoring, nasal speech, apnea,
frequent ear infections and cough. In the second age group, we proved a statistically significant
association of symptoms with grade height for the symptoms of night snoring, nasal speech and
48
frequent ear infections. Finally, rhinorrhea, nocturnal snoring, partial nasal obstruction and
nasal speech are the most common symptoms, equally represented in boys and girls, while
nocturnal snoring (p=0.00) and partial nasal obstruction (p=0.00) appear more often in the first
age group. group.
Conclusion: Fiberendoscopy of the nasopharynx is a very reliable method that provides a
strong correlation between symptoms and degrees of HA, which correspond to the severity of
the symptoms, so that higher degrees are associated with more severe symptoms. In children of
the younger age group, we find higher degrees of HA and a significant correlation of the
occurrence of almost all symptoms with the height of the degree. |
