- Abstract
This study aimed to characterize the sociodemographic and clinical profile of stoma children attending in a reference center in Pará state, Brazil. This is a retrospective study of documental, transverse and descriptive analysis, with a quantitative approach. Data were collected in October 2013, analyzed and presented as absolute and relative frequency. We identified 96 medical records of ostomy children. The highest frequency of ostomy children is male, aged 0 to 3 years old, without schooling, because they are not at school age, resident in the interior of Pará state and family income between one and three minimum wage. Regarding the clinical characteristics, congenital malformation was evidenced as a generator of the highest prevalence ostomy. Most of the children had temporarily terminal ileostomy, located in the lower left quadrant, with a diameter from 20 to 29 mm. Prolapse and dermatitis were the main complications related to ostomy and periestoma skin.
