Osgood-Schlatter disease is the traction apophysitis of tuberositas tibia and the most common cause of knee pain in adolescents. Despite the frequent discomfort, sequelae are rarely observed. In this paper, sequelae of Osgood-Schlatter disease, presenting with knee pain in the emergency room were submitted. Rarely encountered in the emergency department in adult patients presenting with knee pain with sequelae of Osgood-Schlatter disease, the need to be aware of the diagnosis, clinical and radiological features and differential diagnosis are discussed.
Objective: In our study, we aimed to research the factors we thought might be affect mortality in a pediatric age group (0-15 y) with multiple trauma. Materials and Methods: In our study of 1658 pediatric patients suffering from falling events, burns, cutting and perforating instrument injuries, gunshot injuries and vehicle accidents admitted to Dicle University. hospital ED between March 2003 and December 2006 were analyzed and included to the study consecutively. The patients were divided in two groups, the patients who survived were in group 1, and the patients who died were in group 2. Results: Of the 1658 patients, 70.5% (n= 1169) were male, 29.5% (n= 489) were female and 107 patient died (6.46 %). Mean age was 6.75+-0.397 in group 2 (who died) and 7.00+-0.99 in group 1, (survived). Low RTS score (OR (odds ratio)=1.565, CI=1.297-1.889, p<0.05). Falling down from height OR=0.637, CI=0.408-0.995, p<0.05), postulated admission (OR=2.035 CI=1.267-3.267, p<0.05) and medical treatment (OR=0.451, CI=0.273-0.744, p<0.05) were found to be the effective factors in pediatric patients with multiple trauma. Conclusion: The falling events, abdominal and thoracic trauma with low İSS, RTS, TRİSS and postulated admission to ED are the factors that affect the mortality in pediatric trauma patients.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Mart 2003 ile Aralık 2006 arasında Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesinde yüksekten düşme, yanık, kesici delici alet yaralanması, ateşli silah yaralanması, araç içi ve araç dışı trafik kazası nedeniyle Dicle Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Acil Servisimize başvuran pediatrik yaş grubundaki (0-15 yaş) hastalara ait veri geriye dönük olarak analiz edildi ve ardışık olarak çalışmaya alındı. Hastalar sağ kalanlar grup 1 ve ölenler grup 2 olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 1658 hastanın %70.5'i (n=1169) erkek, %29.5'i (n=489) kadındı. Travmaya maruz kalan 1658 hastanın 107'i (%6.46) ex oldu. Ortalama yaş ex grubunda 6.75±0.397 (0-15), sağ kalan grupta ise 7.00±0.99 (0-15) idi. Düşük RTS skoru [OR(Odds Ratio)=1.565, CI=1.297-1.889, p<0.05], yüksekten düşme (OR= 0.637, CI=0.408-0.995, p<0.05),geç başvuru (OR=2.035, CI=1.267-3.267, p<0.05) ve medikal tedavi (OR=0.451, CI=0.273-0.744, P<0.05) travmalı hastalarda mortalite üzerinde etkili faktörler olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Yüksekten düşme, batın ve toraks yaralanması, başvuru anında düşük İSS, RTS, PTS, TRİSS' e değeri ve geç başvuru olması pediatrik travmalı hastalarda mortalite üzerinde etkili faktörlerdir.
