Literature about the association between clinical and laboratory presentation and pyloric muscle thickness in infants with pyloric stenosis is lacking. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of pyloric muscle thickness on clinical and laboratory presentation in infants with pyloric stenosis. Thirty infants with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis presented at the Maternity and Children Hospital, Al-Madinah, Saudi Arabia, were included in this study analysis. Clinical and laboratory data of these infants were recorded. Statistical tests and univariate linear regression analyses were used as appropriate. P value was considered significant at a level ≤0.05. The mean age of the studied infant was 5.1 ± 2.6 weeks and mean weight was 3.4 ± 0.7 kg. Most of these infants were full-term (93.3 %), some presented to the hospital dehydrated (80 %), and some were lethargic (56.7 %). The mean pyloric muscle thickness among these infants showed statistically significant difference with regard to the studied clinical and laboratory data. A linear regression analyses also showed positive association between increasing pyloric muscle thickness and almost all studied clinical and laboratory data, with statistically significant difference observed for hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and high bicarbonates. The findings suggest that pyloric muscle thickness is a significant factor that determines the severity of clinical and laboratory presentation in infants with pyloric stenosis.

Is There a Relation Between Pyloric Muscle Thickness and Clinical and Laboratory Data in Infants with Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis?
