ÖzETAmaç: Çalışmada amaç Van ilinde astım ve/veya allerjik rinit tanıları ile takip edilen çocuk hastalarda kullanılan tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp (TAT) yöntemlerinin kullanım sıklığını, kullanılan yöntemleri ve kullanıma etki eden faktörleri araştır-maktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler:Çalışma Haziran 2015-Ocak 2016 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. On beş sorudan oluşan anket formları hazırlandı. Bu formdaki sorular astım ve/veya allerjik rinit tanıları ile çocuk allerji ve immünoloji polikliniğinde izlenen çocukların ebeveynlerine yöneltildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 2-17 yaş arası toplam 127 çocuk hastanın ailesi dahil edildi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması ± ss 7.9±3.6 yıl olarak bulundu. 127 aileden 62 (%48.8)'si çocuklarına hayatının herhangi bir döneminde TAT uygulamaları kullandığını belirtti. TAT kullananların 9 (%14.5)'u fayda gördüğünü düşünmekteydi. En sık başvurulan uygulama 45 (% 72.5) hastada kullanılan pekmezdi. 44 (%70) hastada bitkiler ve baharatlar (ıhlamur, kuşburnu, dağ kekiği, karabiber, tarçın vs), 23 (%37) hastada bal, 13 (%20) hastada bıldırcın yumurtası, 10 (%16.1) hastada zeytin yağı, 6 (%9.6) hastada süt, 1 (%1.6) hastada tereyağı, 1 (%1.6) hastada arı sütü, 1 (%1.6) hastada arı poleni, 1 hastada göğüs bölgesine viks sürme işlemi kullanılmıştı. Ailelerin çoğu TAT uygulamaları hakkındaki bilgiye aktarlar ve medya aracılığı ile ulaşmaktaydı. Sonuç:Van ili'nde astım ve /veya allerjik rinitli çocuklarda TAT uygulamaları ülkemizin diğer bölgelerindeki ile benzer sıklıkta ve yüksek (%48.8) olup, pekmez içirmek en sık (%72.5) kullanılan yöntemdir. Çocuk allerji hekimlerinin uygulanan TAT yöntemleri hakkında bilgi sahibi olması bu tedavilerin olası yan etkileri açısından önem arz etmektedir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Aile, Allerjik rinit, Alternatif tıp, Astım, Çocuk, Tamamlayıcı tıp ABSTrAcTObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) methods, the prevalence of their use, and to assess the factors that influence using these methods in children with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis in Van. Material and Methods:The study was conducted between June 2015 and January 2016. A survey form consisting of 15 questions was prepared. These questions were posed to the parents of the children with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis who were being followed-up at the pediatric allergy and immunology outpatient clinic. results:The study included 127 parents of children aged 2-17 years. The mean age of the patients was 7.9 ± 3.6 years. 62 (48.8%) of the 127 parents stated that they had used CAM methods at any time of their life. 9 (14.5%) of the CAM users thought that they had benefited from these methods. The most common modality was molasses used in 45 (72.5%) of the patients. 44 (70%) of the patients used herbs and spices (linden, rosehip, mountain thyme, black pepper, cinnamon, etc.), 23 (37%) used honey, 13 (20%) used quail eggs, 10 (16.1%) used olive oil, 6 (9.6%) used cow's milk, 1 (1.6%) used bee milk, 1 (1.6%) used bee pollen and 1 (1.6%) used Vicks application to the chest region. ...
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a major public health problem. The aim of our study was to determine serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels among healthy children aged 3-36 months in a setting where vitamin D prophylaxis is a national policy for infants during the first year of life and among pregnant women. Methods: A total of 190 healthy children with a mean age of 15.9 ± 10.4 months were prospectively enrolled. Results: The mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of children was 38.1 ± 16.2 ng/mL. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D level was ≥20 ng/mL in 87.4% of children while it was between 12 and 19 ng/mL in 10.5% and <12 ng/mL in 2.1% of the children. Children who were on vitamin D prophylaxis were found to have significantly higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels than those who were not on prophylaxis (41.6 ± 17.6 vs 33.6 ± 13.1 ng/mL; P = .001). None of the children >1 year of age who were on prophylaxis had 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels <20 ng/mL. No significant difference in 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels was found between children who were receiving different vitamin D doses (400 IU vs >400 IU). Analysis of covariance revealed that vitamin D prophylaxis and vitamin D supplementation of the mother during lactation had significant effects on 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels ( P = .034 and P = .009, respectively). Conclusion: Although vitamin D prophylaxis at a dose of 400 IU seems to be sufficient to prevent vitamin D deficiency, we suggest that continuing vitamin D supplementation beyond 1 year of age with supplementation of pregnant and especially lactating mothers could have an impact on a replete vitamin D status among infants.
