Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric primary care
  • Chronic disease management
  • Healthcare complexity

Background:

  • Primary care management is complex due to multiple chronic conditions and psychosocial issues.
  • Limited research exists on this topic within the pediatric population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the burden of chronic conditions in pediatric primary care settings.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of problem lists from 3995 randomly selected pediatric patients.
  • Inclusion of patients from both community and academic hospital-based clinics.
  • Assessment for the presence and number of chronic conditions.

Main Results:

  • 53% of pediatric patients had at least one chronic condition; 25% had two or more.
  • Academic clinics showed significantly more children with catastrophic complex conditions.
  • A positive correlation was found between chronic medical conditions and mental health diagnoses.

Conclusions:

  • The burden of chronic disease in pediatric primary care may be underestimated.
  • Health planners must consider chronic illness, psychosocial issues, and multimorbidity in pediatric primary care.
  • Academic clinics serve a higher complexity of pediatric patients.
