Study comparing anthropometric measurements between transfusion dependant and transfusion non-dependant thalassemia children at Penang Hospital

Beberapa kajian telah dijalankan mengenai masalah thalassemia di kalangan kanak-kanak di Malaysia. lni merupakan suatu kajian keratan lintang prospektif yang dikendalikan di Jabatan Pediatrik, Hospital Pulau Pinang dari bulan September 1999 sehingga bulan Ogos 2002.

Child health services Beberapa kajian telah dijalankan mengenai masalah thalassemia di kalangan kanak-kanak di Malaysia. lni merupakan suatu kajian keratan lintang prospektif yang dikendalikan di Jabatan Pediatrik, Hospital Pulau Pinang dari bulan September 1999 sehingga bulan Ogos 2002. Seramai 45 orang kanak-kanak yang mengidapi penyakit thalassemia dipilih untuk kajian ini. Objektif pertama adalah untuk membandingkan perkembangan antropometrik di antara kanak-kanak yang mengalami thalassemia dan memerlukan penambahan darah secara kerap (kumpulan 1) dan mereka yang tidak (kumpulan 2). Objektif kedua adalah untuk menilai korelasi diantara kadar kenaikkan tinggi dengan air darah ferritin, tahap darah sebelum dan selepas penambahan darah dan chelation pada kanak-kanak di kumpulan 1. Ukuran antropometrik tinggi, berat, ukur lilit pergelangan lengan atas, ketebalan lipatan kulit trisep dan bisep diambil pada kumpulan 1 dan 2. Kadar kenaikkan tinggi dan berat juga diperolehi untuk kedua-dua kumpulan. Several studies have been conducted on the various problems in thalassemic children in Malaysia. This was a cross-sectional prospective study of 45 thalassemic children at Penang Hospital from September 1999 till August 2002. The first objective of this study was to assess whether there were any differences in anthropometric measurements between transfusion dependant (group 1) and transfusion non-dependant thalassemia children (group 2). The second objective was to identify if there were any correlations between height velocity with respect to serum ferritin levels, pre and post transfusion hemoglobin levels and chelation in group 1 children. Anthropometric measurements which include height, weight, mid-arm circumference, triceps and biceps skin fold thickness were measured in both groups. These anthropometric measurements were then compared between the 2 groups. Height velocity and weight velocity was measured in group 1 and group 2 children. The height and weight percentiles were plotted for both groups. 2001 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/36239/ http://eprints.usm.my/36239/1/dr_vyjayanti_kasinathan_%28NN53%2924.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan (School of Medical Sciences)
