Еще фрагмент, как может выставляться диагноз запор у детей первых 6 мес жизни:
Constipation was present in 507/2879 infants (252 males and 255 females). It was diagnosed at a mean age (±S.D.) of 33 ± 27 days. Infants with constipation did not differ from those without this symptom in terms of birth weight, gestational age, mother's age and father's level of education; however, there was a significantly lower frequency of breast feeding than in infants without constipation (76.3% versus 84.9%; χ2 = 9.9; P = 0.007).
Constipation was the third most frequent symptom we observed, as it was present in 17.6% of the infants. Our definition of constipation (‘one bowel movement every 3 days or more’) is lower than the third percentile of bowel movement frequency in healthy age-matched infants. To our knowledge, there are no other studies reporting the frequency of constipation in neonates or infants younger than 6 months. It is noteworthy that in the present study constipation was linked to a lower frequency of breast-feeding; this result is in agreement with previous evidence that breast-fed healthy infants pass stools almost 50% more often than formula-fed infants.
