RESUMEN
Introducción: la diabetes mellitus tipo I (DM1) es una de las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles más prevalentes en la población infantil. Su incidencia es variable. En la etiopatogenia están implicados factores genéticos y ambientales. Objetivo: describir las características epidemiológicas de niños que debutaron con DM1 entre 2000 y 2010 en el Hospital Pediátrico del Centro Pereira Rossell (HP-CHPR). Material y métodos: estudio retrospectivo, incluyendo los menores de 15 años con debut diagnóstico de DM1, asistidos en el HP-CHPR entre el 1/1/2000 y el 31/12/2009. Se realizó la revisión de las historias clínicas. Resultados: se identificaron 183 pacientes, que representaron en promedio 1,3/1.000 egresos/año. El número absoluto de casos y su relación con el número de egresos fue variable. Los pacientes tuvieron una media de edad al debut de 7,3 años. El 54% procedía del interior del país, 98,6% eran de raza blanca, 67% debutó como cetoacidosis diabética. Se observó mayor prevalencia en invierno. No se identificaron antecedentes perinatales, familiares ni ambientales con prevalencia mayor que en la población general. Conclusiones: el número de pacientes con debut de DM1 asistidos en el HP-CHPR fue variable, con un aumento entre 2003 y 2005. Algunas características epidemiológicas fueron similares a las descriptas en la bibliografía. No se identificaron antecedentes que pudieran actuar como factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de la enfermedad. Una proporción importante de pacientes debutó bajo una forma grave que remarca la necesidad de promover programas de educación diabetológica.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: type I diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent non transmissible chronic diseases in children. Its incidence varies. The etiopathogenesis included genetic and environmental factors Objective: to describe the epidemiological characteristics of children who presented with Type I diabetes mellitus between 2000 and 2010 at the Pereira Rossell Hospital Center. Methods: retrospective study, that included children under 15 years old who presented with type I diabetes mellitus, who were seen at the Pereira Rossell Hospital Center between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2009. The medical records were reviewed. Results: 183 patients were identified, who represented on average 1.3/1000 hospital discharges. The absolute number of cases and their relationship with the number of discharges varied. Patients had an average age of 7.3 upon debut of the disease. 54% were coming from the provinces, 98.6% were Caucasian, 67% presented with diabetic ketoacidosis. Prevalence was higher in winter. No perinatal precedents were identified, neither family history nor environment conditions different from or greater than the general population. Conclusions: the number of patients who presented with Type I diabetes mellitus seen at the Pereira Rossel Hospital varied, and an increase was seen between 2003 and 2005. A few epidemiological characteristics were similar to those described in the bibliography. No history was identified that could represent risk factors for the development of the disease. An important proportion of patients presented with a severe way that points out the need to promote education programs on diabetes.
