A Retrospective Analysis of Foreign Body Ingestions Among the Pediatric Age Group in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Background: Foreign body ingestion (FBI) among the pediatric age group is considered a major clinical problem that can cause life-threatening complications, as it can obstruct the airway due to poor/immature airway protection reflexes.Objective: In this study, we aimed to retrospectively describe th...

The study reviewed records of patients with FBI in the emergency department. Data collection included age, gender, comorbidities, foreign body (FB) type, anatomical location, presenting symptoms, time to emergency room (ER) presentation, need for endoscopy, and complications. We performed a statistical analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 25 (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY), where p |

We performed a statistical analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 25 (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY), where p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: We identified 244 FBI cases, with most cases being male (62.7%). The most common site of FB impaction was the stomach (38.9%), followed by the upper esophagus (29.1%). Clinical presentation was variable, with 20.5% of cases experiencing vomiting, 13.5% experiencing drooling, and 9.4% experiencing dysphagia. Out of 244 cases, 132 (54.1%) were referred to gastroenterology for urgent FB removal by endoscopy. A total of 186 cases (76.2%) did not have complications, whereas 3.6% had serious sequela. The association between age and FBI was statistically significant (p=0.00), whereas there was no association between gender and FBI.Conclusion: Our results showed that FB ingestion was prevalent among children at our tertiary care hospital, with urgent endoscopy being the most common removal procedure. Early detection and immediate presentation to the emergency room are crucial for preventing complications. Common FBI included coins and batteries, with most incidents in 1-3-year-old males. Parents should be aware of the dangers of FBI and implement preventive measures to reduce its incidence.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2168-8184</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2168-8184</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.7759/cureus.48113</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Palo Alto: Cureus Inc</publisher><subject>Abdomen ; Age groups ; Data collection ; Dysphagia ; Emergency medical care ; Endoscopy ; Esophagus ; Females ; Foreign bodies ; Gender ; Males ; Medical records ; Mortality ; Patients ; Pediatrics ; Pneumonia ; Variables ; Vomiting</subject><ispartof>Curēus (Palo Alto, CA), 2023-11, Vol.15 (11), p.e48113-e48113</ispartof><rights>Copyright © 2023, Abudungor et al.
