Öğe The association of allergic rhinitis severity with neutrophil-lymphocyte and platelet-lymphocyte ratio in children(Northern Clinics of İstanbul, 2022) Cansever, Murat; Sarı, NeslihanObjective: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the severity of allergic rhinitis (AR) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in pediatric patients. Methods: This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional, and observational study including 200 AR patients and 160 healthy controls. Of the patients, 39% were boys with a mean age of 10.5 years. The study included children with persistent and intermittent AR. Of the controls, 50.6% were boys with a mean age of 10.3 years. We compared NLR and PLR from blood test between study and control groups. They were also compared according to AR severity within the patient group. Results: The NLR was 1.64±1.29 in the study group whereas 1.18±0.31 in the control group. The PLR was 102.72±31.20 in the study group whereas 79.36±11.72 in the control group. When NLR and PLR were compared between groups, we found statistically significant differences in both NLR and PLR (p=0.003, p=0.001, respectively). We found a statistically significant difference when comparing both NLR and PLR in patients with intermittent and persistent AR. These rates increased with disease severity (p=0.000, p=0.000, respectively). Conclusion: Both NLR and PLR are useful markers for the diagnosis and severity of AR. Clinicians can use these markers to assess disease severity in pediatric patients at the beginning of the diagnostic process.Öğe Evaluation of Children with Hearing Loss in a Special Education Centre in Mardin by TEDIL-3 Test(Kulak Burun Boğaz ve Baş Boyun Cerrahisi, 2022) Sarı, Neslihan; İmrak, İbrahim HalilABS TRACT Objective: To assess the conditions based on Early Language Development Test (TEDIL-3) scores after rehabilitation in children with hearing loss who continue special education in a single centre in Mardin, a city in southeast Türkiye. Material and Methods: Demography, auditory findings, depression status of 53 (53% male, 47% female, aged 3-7 years) children, given a special education, in July and October 2021, were evaluated by TEDIL-3 test. Group P consisted of patients with scores above average and F group consist of children having scores below average on the TEDIL-3 test. Scores in different characteristics and between groups were compared with analysis of correlations and factor analysis. Results: As a result of the study, 30 (57%) children have been found to be in Group P, 23 (43%) of them in Group F. Statistical significance and higher scores were seen in children with families with monolanguage than bilanguage (p<0.05). Diagnosis age was higher in Group F (mean±SD; 18.5±18.1) than group P (mean±SD; 7.5±11.4). Cochlear implant age was correlated with diagnostic age (p=0.013, n=35, r=0.64). Although neonatal hearing screening (NHS) does not have prognostic significance, in the NHS, 41.5% of children were false positives and 7.5% of them had no application to NHS (p>0.05). Conclusion: Bilingualism and the higher age of diagnosis in hearing loss are major negative factors that we encounter in the auditory rehabilitation by TEDIL scores in Mardin. Correct and compulsory implementation in NHS and raising awaireness on both issues will contribute to auditory rehabilitaion in children in Mardin
