Preterm Doğum Sonrası Merkezi Kornea Kalınlık ve Büyüme Parametreleri Arasındaki İlişki

ÖZ Giriş/Amaç: Prematüre doğan çocuklarda santral kornea kalınlığını ölçmek ve preterm doğumu takip eden 3 ay boyunca merkezi kornea kalınlığı ile büyüme değerleri arasındaki ilişkiyi karşılaştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu ileriye dönük çalışmada preterm doğumu takiben 32 çocukta 3 ay boyunca aylık aralıklarla santral kornea kalınlığı, baş çevresi, vücut uzunluğu ve vücut ağırlığı ölçümleri yapıldı. Santral kornea kalınlığı ölçümleri ultrasonik pakimetre cihazı kullanılarak yapıldı. İlk santral kornea kalınlığı ölçümleri doğumdan sonraki 24 - 48 saat içerisinde yapıldı. Baş çevresi, vücut uzunluğu ve vücut ağırlığı ölçümleri yenidoğan uzmanı tarafından doğumdan sonraki 24 saat içinde yapıldı. Tüm ölçümler 1. Ayda, 2. Ayda ve 3. Ayda aynı şekilde gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmada 18 kız (%56,2) ve 14 erkek (%43,8) bebek vardı. Ortalama doğum haftası ve ağırlığı sırasıyla 27,8 hafta ve 1042±309,9 g idi. Ortalama baş çevresi ve vücut uzunluğu sırasıyla 26,2 cm ve 36,3 cm idi. Doğumda ortalama merkezi kornea kalınlığı 666,03±92,6 µm idi. Çalışma sırasında merkezi kornea kalınlığı önemli ölçüde azaldı (p

Association Between Central Corneal Thickness and Growth Parameters Following Preterm

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate central corneal thickness in prematurely born children and to evaluate the association between central corneal thickness and growth pattern during 3 months following preterm birth. Methods: In this prospective study, central corneal thickness, head circumference, body length and body weight measurements were performed in 32 infants at monthly intervals during the first 3 months following preterm birth. Central corneal thickness measurements were performed by using an ultrasonic pachymetry. Initial central corneal thickness measurements were performed 24 – 48 hours after delivery. The head circumference, body length and body weight measurements were performed within 24 hours following birth by a neonatologist. All measurements were carried out at 1st month, 2nd month and 3rd month in the same manner. Results: There were 18 female (56.2%) and 14 male (43.8%) infants. The mean gestational age and body weight at birth were 27.8 weeks and 1042±309.9 g, respectively. The mean head circumference and body length at birth were 26.2 cm and 36.3 cm, respectively. Mean central corneal thickness at birth was 666.03±92.6 µm. Central corneal thickness significantly decreased during the study period (p
