| description | Introduction: Spleen, a vital organ of reticuloendothelial system,
which helps in degradation of old red blood cells and secretes
properdin, tuftsin and immunoglobulin-G. Spleen known to show
variation in shape and size with respect to age, sex, height, weight
and ethnicity. Ultrasonography is a non magnetic radiation,
easily performed and cost-effective diagnostic procedure which
can be used for accurate measurement of spleen.
Aim: To evaluate and correlate splenic dimensions by
Ultrasonography (USG) in Chhattisgarh population with respect
to age.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted
over a period of one year, from August 2015 to July 2016 in the
Departments of Anatomy and Radiodiagnosis at Pt. Jawahar Lal
Nehru Memorial (Pt. JNM) Medical College, Raipur, India. A total of
400 subjects were recruited for study, of which 239 were females
and 161 were males. The subjects were selected amongst the
adult patients, in the age groups of 25-60 years, who had come
for abdominal USG. Spleen length, breadth and thickness of these
were evaluated using USG. Descriptive analysis was carried out
using Microsoft (MS) Excel version 2010 and Statistical Package
for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 was used to derive
mean, standard and Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r). Statistical
significance was considered at p-value <0.05.
Results: A total of 400 subjects were studied with a mean age of
39.23±10.03 years. Spleen length, breadth and thickness in age
groups 25-30 years were 95.34±8.73 mm, 49.42±9.19 mm and
34.93±4.62 mm, in age group 31-40 years was 92.25±7.13 mm,
45.95±7.86 mm and 33.9±3.88 mm, in age group 41-50 years was
90.7±7.69 mm, 45.01±7.31 mm and 33.5±3.99 mm and in 51-
60 years was 88.39±5.25 mm, 41.39±6.64 mm and 27.67±2.8 mm
was noted in females. Whereas in males, in age group 25-30 years
was 105.43±10.42 mm, 53.87±8.01 mm and 41.56±6.16 mm, in
age group 31-40 years was 101.8±7.66 mm, 48.73±6.1 mm and
37.65±4.27 mm, in age group 41-50 years was 98.48±7.03 mm,
45.81±6.14 mm and 36.16±3.98 mm and in age group 51-
60 years was 94.38±7.09 mm, 42±5.94 mm and 34.3±4.46 mm,
respectively was observed.
Conclusion: Spleen length, breadth and thickness were observed
to decrease in size with increase in age, of which spleen breadth
in males showed a moderately significant negative correlation
(r=-0.451) with age |
