The linear trend of headache prevalence and some headache features in school children

Bu çalışmada Mersin ilinde okul çocuklarında mevcut başağrısı prevalansının yaş ve cins bağımlı lineer trendinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmaya detaylı yöntem bilgileri daha önce yayınlanmış olan yapılandırılmış örneklemden oluşan 5562 çocuk dahil edildi. Çalışmamızda yaş ve cins bağımlı olarak başağrısı sıklığının arttığı, kızlarda belirgin olmak üzere 11 yaşında (%27.2) pik yaptığı ve takiben plato izlediği saptandı. Verilerimiz çocuklarda başağrısı özelliklerinin sosyodemografik özelliklere ilaveten yapılan trend analizinde yaş, cinsiyet ve başağrısı tipine bağlı olarak anlamlılık taşıyan lineer trend gösterdiğini destekledi. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları gelecekte planlanacak epidemiyolojik çalışmalara zemin oluşturabilecek özelliktedir.

Okul çocuklarında baş ağrısı prevalansı ve bazı baş ağrısı bulgularının yaş ve cins bağımlı değişimi

The objectives of this study were to determine the age and sex dependent linear trend of recurrent headache prevalence in schoolchildren in Mersin. A stratified sample composed from 5562 children, detailed characteristics were previously published. In this study the prevalence distribution of headache by age and sex showed a peak in the female population at the age of 11 (27.2%) with a plateau in the following years. The great stratified random sample results suggested that, in addition to socio-demographic features, detailed linear trend analysis showed headache features of children with headache have some specific characteristics dependent by age, gender and headache type. This study results can be proposed the using in the future epidemiological based studies.
