Abstract

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to determine the most common pathologies by examining the ear, nose and throat (ENT) of
school-aged population and the relation with the associated factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between September-December 2013 at the primary and secondary schools in the city
center of Çanakkale. A questionnaire was applied with the students’ and parents’ disease history and their habits. Ear, nose and throat
examination was performed and noted to the examination form.

Results: A total of 1938 students were enrolled in the study. 1369 students (70.6%) were in primary schools, 569 (29.4%) were in
secondary schools. Mean age of the students was 8.6 ± 2.3 years. The prevalence of tonsillar hypertrophy was 25.2%, prominent ear
14.8%, otitis media 3.3%, anterior nasal deviation 10.4% respectively. Prominent ear were found more frequent in male children than
female children (p<0,001). There were no significant differences between children according to gender and the level of classes with
having at least one ear-nose-throat pathology (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Tonsillar hypertrophy, anterior nasal deviation, and otitis media were the most common pathologies in the school aged
children respectively. The students’ and the parents’ medical histories and the parents’ habits were not risk factors for having at least
one ear-nose-throat pathology.

Abstract

Giriş: Çalışmada okul çağı popülasyonunda kulak burun ve boğaz muayenesi yaparak sık görülen patolojileri ve bu durumlarla ilişkili
faktörleri saptamak amaçlanmaktadır.

Yöntem: Kesitsel desendeki çalışma Eylül-Aralık.2013 tarihleri arasında Çanakkale il merkezindeki ilk ve ortaokullarda yapıldı.
Öğrencilerin ve ailelerinin hastalık öykülerini ve alışkanlıklarını sorgulayan anket uygulandı. Kulak, burun ve boğaz muayeneleri
yapılarak, öğrencilerin muayene formlarına not edildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 1938 öğrenci alındı. Öğrencilerin 1369 (%70,6)’u ilkokul, 569 (%29,4)’ü ortaokulda eğitim görmekteydi.
Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 8,6 ± 2,3 idi. Çalışmada sırasıyla tonsiller hipertrofi %25,2, kepçe kulak %14,8, otitis media %3,3, anterior
nazal deviasyon %10,4 sıklıkta gözlendi. Kepçe kulak erkek öğrencilerde daha fazlaydı (p0,05).

Sonuç: Okul çocuklarında sırasıyla tonsiller hipertrofi, anterior nazal deviasyon ve otitis media en sık saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin ve
ailelerinin tıbbi öykü özellikleri ile ailelerin tıbbi öykü ve alışkanlıkları, kulak, burun ve boğaz patolojisinin varlığı için risk faktörü
değildi.
