Venous Insufficiency in Pediatric Patients

İngilizce (OpenAlex)

Because venous Doppler ultrasonography (RDUS) is used less in children than in adults and it is performed or interpreted according to adult protocol, it may cause less data on venous disease in pediatric patients (2).In this retrospective study, we planned to present pediatric patients diagnosed with venous insufficiency by our clinic. MethodsPatients under 18 years of age who were consulted to our clinic between January 2016 and May 2018 were included in this study.Demographic history, clinical examination and RDUS results of the patients were the indications for our study.Since our study was a retrospective study, informed consent was not obtained from the patients.As it was a retrospective study, ethics committee was not applied.
