“…The association between asthma status and risk of injury was largely unaffected by the inclusion of control variables. These observations are consistent with findings from previous studies [15,16,[20][21][22]. In our recent birth cohort study conducted in Western Australia, it was observed that for both children and adults, males with histories of hospitalizations of asthma were at increased risk of serious injury (injuries that required hospitalizations) [16].…”

Purpose: Clinical data suggest that asthma impairs sleep quality and further impairs cognitive performance during the daytime, while there is a causal relationship between impaired sleep quality and injuries. Therefore asthma patients may have increased risk of injury, and this is supported by our recent population-based studies conducted in Australia. This study is to investigate the effect of asthma on the risk of injury at the population level using data from the US National Health Interview Survey collected in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Method: Data from the 2008, 2009 and 2010 National Health Interview Surveys were combined and analyzed together. Results: US adults with current or previous asthma had significantly greater risk of injury compared to those without asthma. The risk of injury was also significantly higher among children with current asthma. Conclusion: This population-based study provided further evidence on the positive association between asthma and risk of injury among both adults and children. The increased risk of injury among asthma patients is at least partly due to impaired sleep quality and quantity caused by asthma symptoms and asthma medications.

“…Many children each year face the risk of injury, lost or death due to unintentional accidents (i.e., crossing the street, abduction, electric shock; Bergstrom et al 2012;Istre et al 2002;Phelan et al 2001;Runyan et al 2005;Tinsworth and McDonald 2001) as well as intentional accidents (i.e., physical and sexual abuse; Clees and Gast 1994;Dixon et al 2010;Pereda et al 2009). Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities face two to three times the risk of injury or abuse compared with those of their same age peers in the general population (Agran and Krump 2010;Calavari and Romanczyk 2012;Koller 2000;Lee et al 2008;McEachern 2012;Strickland et al 2007;Volkmar and Wiesner 2009;Yildirim-Sari and Girli 2012).…”

“…However, they need to consider that all children face injuries and/or death as a result of the consequences of intentional or unintentional accidents. But what also needs to be taken into consideration is the fact that children with ASD are at a higher risk for dangerous circumstances and situations than those of their peers (Dixon et al 2010;Dogoe et al 2011;Lee et al 2008;Strickland et al 2007). There are many reasons that safety skills instruction are not being provided and it can be due in part to either the parent and the teacher.…”

Safety skills instruction should be regarded as one of the important teaching areas. A descriptive study was designed to reveal the opinions of Turkish parents and teachers of children with autism spectrum disorders regarding safety skills instruction. Data were collected through interview and analyzed descriptively. Findings showed that (a) both parents and teachers were able to define safety skills, (b) they found safety skills instruction important and necessary, (c) rather than providing systematic instruction they use natural occurrences as teaching opportunities and prevention behaviors, (d) parents have never had a conversation with teachers about safety skills instruction, and (e) neither parents nor teachers have enough knowledge and experience for teaching safety skills. Implications for implementing safety training are discussed.

“…Kırık bir dişin, kafatası ve beyni etkileyebilen ciddi fiziksel travmaların bir habercisi olabileceği vurgulanmış ve çocukların bu tip yaralanmalardan korunmasında, öncelikle altta yatan ana etken olan DEHB'nin tedavisinin yapılmasına odaklanılması gerektiği belirtilmiştir (58). DEHB'li çocukların, tedavi gerektiren bir travmaya maruz kalma olasılığının sağlıklı çocuklara göre 2-3 kat daha fazla olduğu bildirilmiştir (62). Ayrıca, ebeveynleri tarafından hiperaktivite semptomları gösterdiği belirtilen okul çağı çocuklarının, belirtilmeyenlerden 2,33 kat daha fazla travmatik diş yaralanmasına maruz kaldıkları tespit edilmiştir (63).…”

GirişDikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB), Amerikan Psikiyatri Derneği tarafından; çocukluk çağında, yaşa uygun olmayan seviyede dikkatsizlik, hiperaktivitedürtüsellik veya bunların kombinasyonu şeklinde kendini gösteren psikiyatrik bir bozukluk olarak tanımlanmaktadır (1).Çocuk ve ergenlerin yaklaşık %5-10'unu etkileyen, en yaygın görülen çocukluk çağı-başlangıçlı davranış bozukluğu (2) olan DEHB'nin, ülkemizde ve dünyada çocuk ve ergen psikiyatrisi polikliniklerine başvuran hastalarda en sık konulan tanılar arasında yer aldığı bildirilmektedir (3-5). Erkeklerde kızlara göre 8 kat daha fazla görülmekte olup (6), erkeklerde 6-9 yaş aralığında, kızlarda ise ergenlik döneminde prevalansının en yüksek seviyeye ulaştığı bildirilmiştir (7). ÖzABS TRACT Dikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB), yaşa uygun olmayan seviyede dikkatsizlik, hiperaktivite-dürtüsellik veya bunların kombinasyonu şeklinde kendini gösteren en yaygın görülen çocukluk çağı-başlangıçlı davranış bozukluğudur. DEHB etiyolojisinde genetik ve çevresel faktörlerin rolü bulunmaktadır. Hastalığın kendisinden kaynaklı davranışsal problemler ve ilaç yan etkileri nedeniyle eklenen sorunlar, DEHB'li çocukların ağız ve diş sağlığı açısından risk grubunda yer almasına ve çocuk diş hekimliğinde özel ilgi gereksinimi olan hasta grubuna dahil olmalarına neden olmaktadır. Tedavisinde kullanılan ilaçların ağız kuruluğuna neden olabildiği belirtilmiştir. DEHB olan çocukların düşük oral hijyen alışkanlıkları ve yüksek diş çürüğü prevalansına sahip oldukları bildirilmiştir. Ayrıca bruksizm gibi parafonksiyonel alışkanlıklar ve dental travmalar da bu çocuklarda daha sık gözlenmektedir. Bu derlemede DEHB görülen çocuklarda ağız diş sağlığı ve davranış yönlendirme sorunlarından bahsedilmekte ve çözüm önerilerinde bulunulmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Dikkat eksikliği, hiperaktivite, diş sağlığı Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common childhood onset behavioral disorder characterized by a developmentally inappropriate attention deficit, hyperactivity-impulsivity or a combination of these. Genetic and environmental factors play a role in the etiology. Because of the behavioral problems sourced from the disease itself and side effects of the drugs used in therapy, children with ADHD take place in the risk group in terms of oral and dental health problems and they are included in the group of patients who need special attention in pediatric dentistry. Drugs used in the treatment are known to cause dry mouth. Children with ADHD have been reported to have low oral hygiene habits and a high prevalence of dental caries. Also, parafunctional habits such as bruxism and dental trauma are observed more frequently in these children. In this review, oral health and behavior management problems in children with ADHD are pointed out, and solutions are suggested.
