Objetivo:Avaliar o estado nutricional, o consumo alimentar e os fatores de risco nutricionais, clínicos e sociais de pacientes pediátricos estomizados atendidos ambulatoriamente em um hospital público de Brasília (DF). Método: Trata-se de um estudo de caráter transversal, quantitativo e analítico realizado com crianças estomizadas, de ambos os sexos, menores de 10 anos de idade. Foi feito o diagnóstico do estado nutricional utilizando diversos instrumentos de avaliação nutricional e avaliado o consumo alimentar. Resultados: No total compareceram 24 crianças com a idade média de 10,29 meses. A estomia mais encontrada foi a colostomia (54%), sendo o motivo mais frequente para a confecção do estoma a anomalia anorretal. Foram encontradas frequências elevadas de déficits nutricionais. A associação entre estado nutricional e o motivo da confecção do estoma apresentou significância estatística (p = 0,036). Conclusão: A causa de base para a confecção do estoma pode levar ao comprometimento do estado nutricional. Foram encontradas frequências elevadas de déficits nutricionais, uma vez que parte das crianças estava abaixo da linha de magreza. A maioria dos pacientes faz uso de fórmulas infantis especializadas. Foi possível observar alto consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados nas crianças que já iniciaram a alimentação com sólidos.
Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status, food consumption and nutritional, clinical, and social risk factors of pediatric ostomy patients treated as outpatients at a public hospital in Brasília, DF, Brazil. Method: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative, and analytical study performed with ostomized children, of both sexes, under 10 years old. A diagnosis of nutritional status was performed using various nutritional assessment instruments, and food consumption was evaluated. Results: A total of 24 children was attended with a mean age of 10.29 months. The most common ostomy was colostomy (54%), and the most frequent reason for making a stoma was anorectal anomaly. High frequencies of nutritional deficits were found. The association between nutritional status and the reason for making the stoma was statistically significant (p = 0.036). Conclusion: The underlying cause for making the stoma can lead to impaired nutritional status. High frequencies of nutritional deficits were found, since part of the children were below the thinness line. Most patients use specialized infant formula. It was possible to observe a high consumption of ultra-processed foods in children who have already started eating solids.
