Xxx - - you need to say something about PCOS have you timed your reading of this manuscript? 31 pages is quite long. You can keep the audience’s attention for a maximum of 40 minutes after which you will start to lose them. One alternative to shorten the presentation would be to describe what you did, and then to critique it based on whatever guidelines you have come across. That way you don't have to go into the “textbook details” but the running commentary on your management vis-à-vis the guidelines will still be informative to the audience. Alex where did you encounter the patient? Adol clinic or Derma? I think you need to start with the description of your initial encounter with the patient. Upon reading your manuscript the patient has PCOS which caused all the metabolic and cardiovascular manifestation. So with this perpective your discussion should focus on PCOS in adolescent rather than hypertension and obesity. It is just like discussing metabolic syndrome in adults. You can keep your objectives but your discussion should be focused on PCOS. I am attaching a CPG on PCOS that you may want to read so you would know how to do the flow of the discussion. This is what I would approach if I am the one presenting: - Presenting the case with multiple medical problems – adolescent with High BP, obese - Look at the differentials of such – primary cardiovascular? Metabolic? Renal kasi had GN in the history - Zero in to PCOS - Discuss prevalence in adolescent population – worldwide? Philippines - How to diagnose – what was done to your patient and compare it to what CPG is recommending, then what was missed? Or what should have not been - How to manage – what was the management of your patient and compare it to what CPG is recommending. Include both medical and biopsychosocial - What is the continuity of care for this type of cases – health maintenance, issues that would challenge adolescent life (identity, sexuality and education), what were your initial work along this line (short term) and what will you be pursuing for the next visit (long-term) - End it with your insights on handling the case – ‘aha” moments “The Power of Change: A Case of Hypertension and Obesity in an Adolescent” (A Clinical Case Presentation) INTRODUCTION The Power to Change…(still under construction) Good Morning Everyone. I am Alejandro E. Legarda, a first year resident of the Department of Family and Community Medicine, and I am here to present my clinical case presentation entitled, The Power of Change: A Case of Hypertension and Obesity in an Adolescent OBJECTIVES My objectives in presenting this case are: To present an adolescent with hypertension and obesity To discuss the differential diagnosis for high BP in the young. To discuss the approach to management of adolescent with hypertension and obesity To present short-term and long-term wellness plan appropriate for the patient’s condition. RATIONALE Hypertension is usually found in the adult population and there have been so many studies devoted to the mentioned age group however there has been an increasing incidence in the adolescent population as well. Few studies and literature have been written in the past thus it has been a challenge for primary care physicians but until recently there has been an increasing studies on how to screen, diagnose and manage. Aside from Hypertension, Overweight/ Obesity is also an increasing issue. Furthermore I would like show how important behavior change and lifestyle modifications are for our patient which always a great concern for us Family Physicians. Let me introduce you to my patient. PATIIENT PROFILE E.J. is 13 year old, female, single Roman Catholic an upcoming 3rd high school student who lives in Imus, Cavite. CHIEF COMPLAINT Elevated Blood Pressure HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS 5 years prior to consult, patient was 8 years old and apparently well until she had to seek consult on her fever intermittent and her previous reccurring multiple erythematous vesicle lesions. She was said to have diagnosed to have Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis and was admitted for 1 week. She was said to have a high BP(unrecalled). Nifedipine was given to control her hypertension. Upon discharged, no consult was done nor further follow-up. Interim: Patient was apparently well, No consults were done Until 3 years prior to consult, Patient began to gain weight. Eating became a family past time as she began to enjoy eating with her Father and her brothers hence Her food intake severely increased. She also began to eat lots of fatty and salty foods not only at home but outside as well especially in the fast food restaurants. At that time, patient’s blood pressure was yearly taken during the annual PE (where) and was said to be elevated. She and her parents would ignore and didn’t seek consult for the elevated blood pressure. Interim: Patients gained more weight progressively and spends lots of time at home just watching TV and Then 2 weeks prior to consult, patient sought consult at the UP-PGH Derma department for her vesicular lesions. She also had an incidental finding of a 160/90 blood pressure. The Assessment:a)Acne Vulgaris, etiology probably to PCOS b)Hypertension secondary to 1. Obesity related/PCOS 2. R/o Adrenal/Cushing Syndrome c) Insect bite hypersensitivity reaction Patient was given Amlodipine 5mg/tab OD, Benzoyl Preoxide gel OD, Tretinoin cream on face, Cloxacilin 500mg/tab for 7 days, Mupirocin Betamethasone ointment ITD, Sunscreen and mild soap.

INITIAL MPRESSION Hypertension stage 2 etiology to be determined Acne Vulgaris, probably secondary to PCOS DM suspect Obese 2 Amenorrhea secondary to PCOS Management: Diagnostics: Complete blood count Plasma sodium, potassium and calcium, BUN, Crea Fasting plasma glucose Lipid profile Urinalysis Whole AB ultrasound Chest Xray, ECG TSH, FT4 Therapeutics: Continue medication…. Cloxacillin 500 for 7 days Tretnoin Cream in face Mupirocine Betamethasone ointment TID Sun screen and mild soap daily Start Amlodipine 5mg once a day Refer back to Derma Refer to Ob/Gyne APPROACH TO HYPERTENSION According to Management of high blood pressure in children and adolescents: recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension the previous guideline did not contain any section of devoted to hypertension in childhood and adolescence in 2003 but due to the growing evidence it has gained ground in cardiovascular medicine, It has been possible to look at the presence of subclinical organ damage through measures and markers much more sensitive than those available years ago and it has lastly been possible to relate adult hypertension and organ damage to several abnormalities of the younger age, for example overweight and tachycardia, thus adding to the rationale of extending prevention strategies to the pre-adult individuals which we will . The guideline have roots of hypertension in adulthood extend back to childhood. The study mentioned childhood BP has been shown to track into adulthood thus their children with elevated BP are more likely to become hypertensive adults hence it is important to approach and manage our patient. Unlike adults, the diagnostic criteria for elevated BP in children are based on the concept that BP in children increases with age and body size, making it impossible to utilize a single BP level to define hypertension. In taking the blood pressure in children and adolescent the guideline has specific recommendations…. The recommended method is auscultatory, Use K1 for systolic BP and K5 for diastolic B. (xxx better remind us about what k1 and k5 are) If the oscillometric method is used, the monitor needs to be validated and if hypertension is detected by the oscillometric method, (xxx describe briefly the oscillometric method) it needs to be confirmed using the auscultatory method. The Use the appropriate cuff size according to arm width (40% of the arm circumference) and length (4_8 cm, 6_12 cm, 9_18 cm, 10_24 cm, to cover 80–100% of the individual’s arm circumference). The same taskforce has specific blood pressure values for the specific age Table: Blood pressure for girls by age and height percentiles (xxx is this for filipinos?) Table 4 Systolic and diastolic ambulatory blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) values for clinical use (xxx is this for Filipinos? Will it matter?) According to Task Force for Blood Pressure in Children , the Fourth Report on the Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents, The normal BP in children is defined as SBP and DBP less than 90th percentile for age, sex and height, whereas hypertension is defined as SBP and/or DBP persistently 95th percentile or more, measured on at least three separate occasions with the auscultatory method. In diagnosing BP in the adolescent it is important to consider what they call White-coat (or isolated office) and masked (or isolated ambulatory) hypertensions which was reported prevalence of white-coat hypertension in various studies on children and adolescents has ranged from 1 to 44% hence the importance of taking the BP multiple times and use of home blood pressure Children with average SBP or DBP 90th percentile or more but less than 95th percentile are classified as having high-normal BP. Adolescents with BP 120/80mmHg or more even if less than 90th percentile are also considered as having high-normal BP. Stage 1 hypertension is defined as BPs from the 95th percentile to the 99th percentile plus 5mmHg.While Stage 2 hypertension denotes any BP above the 99th percentile plus 5mmHg Our patient had a regular blood pressure of 150/90 which is above of the 99th percentile for her age. She is classified to have hypertension stage 2. Upon diagnosing our patient to have hypertension, the next phase in our algorhytm we must look at the etiology and organ damage. The guidelines mentioned several pertinent data to consider and look for based on. FAMILY HISTORY Hypertension Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease Diabetes mellitus Dyslipidemia Obesity Hereditary renal disease (Policystic kidney disease) Hereditary endocrine disease (pheochromocytoma, glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, von Hippel–Lindau) Syndromes associated with hypertension (neurofibromatosis) CLINICAL HISTORY Perinatal history Birth weight, gestational age, oligohydramnios, anoxia, umbilical artery catheterization Previous history Hypertension Urinary tract infection, renal or urological disease Cardiac, endocrine (including diabetes) or neurological disease Growth retardation Symptoms suggestive of secondary hypertension Dysuria, thirst/polyuria, nocturia, hematuria Edema, weight loss, failure to thrive Palpitations, sweating, fever, pallor, flushing Cold extremities, intermittent claudication Virilization, primary amenorrhea and male pseudohermaphroditism Symptoms suggestive of target organ damage Headache, epistaxis, vertigo, visual impairment Facial palsy, fits, strokes Dyspnea Sleep history Snoring, apnea, daytime somnolence Risk factor history Physical exercise, dietary habits Smoking, alcohol Drug intake Anti-hypertensives Steroids, cyclosporine, tacrolimus or other Tricyclic anti-depressants, atypical antipsycotics, decongestants Oral contraceptives, illegal drugs Pregnancy In our patient, she had family history of hypertension ,DM and Obesity. Unremarkable perinatal history, previous history of renal disease, (+) poluyuria, (+) polyphaga. No pertinent suggestive target organ damage, Unremarkable sleep history, Risk factors such as physical exercise, poor dietary habits, smoking and alcohol. No drug intake The guideline also mention the pertinent PE exam to look for.. Another guideline by Vikas Kohli of Hypertension in Children and Adolescents: Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment had a prepared a table. Indicators on Physical Exam of Etiology of Hypertension in a Child Thyromegaly Hyperthyroidism Acne, hirsutism, striae Cafe´-au-lait spots Adenoma sebaceum Malar rash Acanthrosis nigricans Chest widely spaced nipples Heart murmur Friction rub Abdomen Mass Epigastric/flank bruit Palpable kidneys Genitalia Ambiguous/virilization Extremities Joint swelling Muscle weakness Cushing syndrome, anabolic steroid abuse Neurofibromatosis Tuberous sclerosis Systemic lupus erythematosus Type 2 diabetes Turner syndrome Coarctation of the aorta Systemic lupus erythematosus (pericarditis), Wilms tumor, neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma Renal artery stenosis Polycystic kidney disease, hydronephrosis, multicysticdysplastic kidney Adrenal hyperplasia Systemic lupus erythematosus, collagen vascular ds Hyperaldosteronism, Liddle syndrome Our patient presented a significant Anthropometrics: Height: 157 cm, Weight: 96.5 kg, Body Mass Index: 40.7 kg/m2 (Z score: 2.58), (+) Short neck length (+) Acanthosis nigricans nape are, Flabby abdomen with (+) Striae, (+) Triceps skin test >95th percentile. Others were none pertinent Aside from evaluation for etiology, it is important to determine if the patient has organ damage. The guidelines mentions target organ damage of the heart, blood vessels, kidney, brain and fundoscopy for evaluation. For the organ damage of the heart it is said that Left Ventricular Hyperthrophy (LVH) remains to date the most thoroughly documented form of end-organ damage caused by hypertension in children and adolescents. LVH is known to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events in adults, although no such evidence is available from prospective studies in children, it appears prudent to identify LVH in children at any early time, as this may facilitate primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. For our patient ECG was done to evaluate the heart end organ damage. In the blood vessels, the first morphological changes of the arterial wall, thickening of the intima-media complex, can be identified by high-resolution ultrasound. Investigators have used intima-media thickening (IMT) to study children at high risk for development of atherosclerosis later in life. Children with familial hypercholesterolemia have higher IMT than age-matched healthy children. Overweight and obesity are associated with increased IMT in children with or without essential hypertension. Our patient’s Lipid profile was done to find if there is a risk for atherosclerosis In the Kidney, the diagnosis of hypertension-related renal damage is based on a reduced renal function or an elevated UAE. Renal insufficiency is classified according to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) calculated by the Schwartz formula, which is based on age, body height and serum creatinine, in which GFR. In adults, an increase in UAE is a marker of hypertensioninduced renal damage. Proteinuria is a marker of glomerular damage in primary and secondary glomerulopathies. It so it is an indication for BP-lowering interventions. Even small amounts of UAE are correlated with progression of nephropathy and to a higher cardiovascular risk. An increased rate of urinary albumin or protein excretion indicates a deranged glomerular filtration barrier. Microalbuminuria (20–300mg/g creatinine, 2–30 mg/mmol creatinine, 30–300 mg/day, 20–200mg/min) has been shown to predict the development of diabetic nephropathy, whereas the presence of overt proteinuria (>300 mg/day) indicates the existence of established renal parenchymal damage. Urinalysis, BUN, Creatinine and Renal ultrasound were done. Cerebral seizures, stroke, visual impairment and retinal vascular changes are complications associated with severe hypertension. In our patient, the Neuro exam and clinical history was unremarkable. Fundoscopy was also done in because in a study of 97 children and adolescents with essential hypertension, found that 51% displayed retinal abnormalities, as detected from direct ophthalmoscopy. Recently another study howed that even in young children aged 6–8 years. Fundoscopy was unremarkable for our patient Obesity and Hypertension Aside from being hypertensive, our patient is also obese. In my upcoming discussions, there is a big correlation between Hypertension and Obesity thus it is important to discuss both of them. Obesity is a broad topic and limit the correlation of the 2. Using the 2000 CDC growth charts, at risk of overweight for ages 2 to 20 years overweight is defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI)-for-age between the 85th and the 95th percentiles. Overweight in children is defined as a BMI-for-age at or above the 95th percentile on the charts. BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m2). While BMI is commonly used to evaluate overweight and obesity in adults, only recently has it been recommended to screen children and adolescents. An advantage of using BMI-for-age is that it can be used continuously from age 2 years through adulthood. BMI is used differently to define overweight in children and adolescents than it is in adults. In children and adolescents, BMI changes with age and gender. As children age, BMI increases (Hammer et al., 1991; Pietrobelli et al., 1998). Therefore, BMI is plotted on a chart of the appropriate gender, relative to the child.s age. BMI is evaluated using percentile cutoff points to compare values for a given child with other children of the same age and gender from a national reference sample. At the 95th percentile In terms health consequences related to overweight can begin in childhood or adolescence; overweight children and adolescents are at increased risk for various chronic diseases in later life. In a study conducted by Freedman and colleagues (1999), nearly 60 percent of overweight children had at least one cardiovascular risk factor compared to 10 percent of those with a BMI-for-age < 85th percentile; 25 percent of overweight children had two or more risk factors. The psychosocial consequences of overweight are significant. Overweight in children has been linked to social discrimination, a negative self-image in adolescence that often persists into adulthood (Stunkard et al., 1967), parental neglect (Lissau and Sorenson, 1994), and behavioral and learning problems (Mellbin and Vuille, 1989). The CDC mentions the Common Medical Consequences of Overweight (Dietz, 1998) Hyperlipidemia, glucose intolerance, hepatic steatosis, cholelithiasis, Sleep apnea, Obesity hypoventilation syndrome and of course hypertension, A variety of orthopedic complications As most cases of high-normal BP and hypertension in childhood are now known not to be cases of secondary hypertension to be detected and specifically treated, efforts should be made to understand conditions associated in order to return BP within the normal range or toavoid high-normal BP in youth developing into full hypertension in adulthood. Overweight is probably the most important of the conditions associated with elevated BP in childhood and accounts for more than half the risk for developing hypertension. Fatter children are known to be more likely to remain fat, and adiposity is the most powerful risk factor for higher BP. In addition to body mass index, waist circumference (abdominal obesity) has been shown to play a role. Birth size and postnatal growth have also been recently implicated in the development of high BP and adult cardiovascular disease . Finally, dietary habits early in life, and particularly high salt intake, have been implicated as factors favoring higher BP values Aside from Obesity, there are many reasons and etiology for Hypertension In the screening and evaluating for the etiology, here are the Laboratory investigations recommended. Laboratory investigations Routine tests that have to be performed in all hypertensive children Full blood count Plasma sodium, potassium and calcium, urea, creatinine Fasting plasma glucose Serum lipids (cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol) Fasting serum triglycerides Urinalysis plus quantitative measurement of microalbuminuria and proteinuria Renal ultrasound Chest Xray, ECG and Some hypertensives can have sustained hypertension in which it can be classified as secondary when a specific cause can be found, then it can be corrected with specific intervention. There should be work-up should be done if hypertension Box 9. Diagnosis of secondary causes of hypertension The study also mentioned that Genetic analysis merits a specific comment even if it has not yet been demonstrated to have a clear role to play in the routine assessment of children with hypertension. All presently known monogenic causes of hypertension are characterized by abnormal sodium transport in the kidney, volume Liddle’s syndrome, glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism, apparent mineralocorticoid excess, Gordon’s syndrome, mineralocorticoid receptor hypersensitivity syndrome and hypertensive forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia MANAGEMENT Diagnostic My plan for patient, the diagnostic work-up were based on the recommended laboratory work-up and based from my clinical history and physical exam (xxx what were the results of the lab tests?) Laboratory Plan… Complete blood count Plasma sodium, potassium and calcium, BUN, Crea Fasting plasma glucose Lipid Profile Urinalysis Whole AB ultrasound Chest Xray, ECG TSH, FT4 Non pharmacologic Strategies: Table: Life-style recommendations to reduce high BP values GOALS BMI<85th percentile: Maintain BMI to prevent overweight BMI 85–95th percentile: Weight maintenance (younger children) or gradual weight loss in adolescents to reduce BMI to <85th percentile BMI>95th percentile: Gradual weight loss (1–2 kg/ month) to achieve value <85th percentile GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Moderate to vigorous physical aerobic activity 40 min, 3–5 days/week and avoid more than 2 h daily of sedentary activities Avoid intake of excess sugar, excess soft drinks, saturated fat and salt and recommend fruits, vegetables and grain products Implement the behavioural changes (physical activity and diet) tailored to individual and family characteristics Involve the parents/family as partners in the behavioural change process Provide educational support and materials Establish realistic goals Develop a health-promoting reward system Competitive sports participation should be limited only in the presence of uncontrolled stage 2 hypertension A. Counseling and Implement Behavior Change (xxx I think the more appropriate model here is motivational interviewing rather than CEA.) Patient was not so much concerned on her weight. She doesn’t know the risk and the health issues regarding hypertension. She was not aware why she was at PGH for consult and really wanted to go home. Catarrhsis, Education and Action(CEA) was done to the patient and I tried to elicit insight and counsel her. Patient was on pre -contemplation stage at that time and I was hoping to make her aware and give her insight to bring her to the stage where she can contemplate. When I asked about her hypertension, she said she knew had it for years but no one told her about the dangers. She was not aware her that being overweight have some health risk as well. The parents are also unaware of the risk of hypertension and the eating habits and lifestyle that increase her obesity. They couldn’t believe that this would happen at her age. I applied CEA to the parents on the risk of hypertension on the family as the lifestyle should be changed not only from the patient but also the family. I mentioned the whole family is at risk since everyone except the wife are obese. At 1st it was hard for the father to get to change thei habits but upon education, he realized that it is important for his family to be all healthy. I talked to them about the food at home should have more vegetable and less fried and salty food plus less snacks. One issue of mine is how the patient’s siblings react to the change of eating habits. The parents told me that they will talk to the other children about their eating habits. B. I advise the patient to have Regular BP monitoring at home C. Physical Activity: I mentioned to the patient to start to lessen sedentary activities and start to walk more around the subdivision and play with pets. A Exercise program was not done yet as I want for the patient to reach the preparation/action D. Eating Habits: Change of eating was advised. The Patient love to skip breakfast and eat lots of snacks. I told the patient to less E. A Diet Program: I was planning to put the patient into a low Energy Diet of 2000kcal C350 P75 F 35 from a 3022kcal diet on the next follow up Pharmacologic/Therapeutic strategies Aside from the non pharamacologic strategies, I had a dilemma on how will I use therapeutic strategies for my patient In the European Society of Hypertension, it said that until recently, no antihypertensive drug was licensed for use in children and adolescents. The US effort (Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, Pediatric Research Equity Act) has stimulated European authorities to realize that children also have the right to be treated with drugs that have been studied in and authorized for children EVIDENCE FOR THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT Reduce mortality and sequelea in life-threatening conditions Reduce left ventricular hypertrophy Reduce urinary albumin excretion Reduce rate of progression to end-stage renal disease The said guideline mentions when to use the therapeutic management of hypertension. In our patient. I started to treat the patient based on the >99 percentile BMI Therapeutic management of hypertension Indications for Antihypertensive Drug Therapy in Children Symptomatic hypertension Secondary hypertension Hypertensive target-organ damage Diabetes (types 1 and 2) Persistent hypertension despite nonpharmacologic measures >99 percentile BMI Treating Hypertension with drugs are most indicated in end organ damage of the Heart and Kidney/Renal In the Heart, Regression of LVH was reported in three children with essential hypertension receiving enalapril, in 19 children with primary and secondary hypertension treated with ramipril for 6 months, and in 65 children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 2–4 receiving ramipril for up to 2 years. In renal, there were evidence has prompted a large pediatric intervention study; the Effect of Strict Blood Pressure Control and ACE Inhibition on Progression of Chronic Renal Failure in Pediatric Patients (ESCAPE) trial, which has shown efficient BP and proteinuria reduction for the ACE inhibitor ramipril in 352 children with CKD . Still, a gradual rebound of proteinuria despite persistently good BP control was observed on extended treatment, questioning the long-term nephroprotective advantage of ACE inhibition in children Monotherapy It is reasonable that in children, treatment should be started with a single drug administered at a low dose in order to avoid rapid fall in BP. Like in adults, choice of antihypertensive agents can include ACEIs, angiotensin receptor antagonists (ARBs), calcium antagonists, beta-blockers and diuretics. A few placebo-controlled studies are available, but almost no head-to-head study directly comparing the efficacy and safety of different antihypertensive drugs in children or adolescents. A recent review mentioned that of 27 pediatric studies reports comparable BP reductions with ACEIs (10.7/8.1mmHg), ARBs (10.5/6.9 mmHg) and calcium antagonists (9.3/7.2mmHg). For other antihypertensive agents, no pediatric studies have been conducted for diuretics, except for a very small old study on chlorthalidone ,direct vasodilators, centrally acting agents, or alpha-1 receptor antagonists, despite their having a long history of clinical use in the pharmacological management of hypertension in children. Pediatric experience has been reported with hydrochlorothiazide and chlorthalidone. Very high doses of thiazides affect BP only marginally, but may be associated with increased incidence and severity of side effects Recommended initial doses for selected antihypertensive agents for the management of hypertension in children and adolescents. Combination therapy In children with renal disease, monotherapy is often not sufficient to achieve adequate BP control. Therefore, early combination therapy is required. Early dose combination of antihypertensive agents is more efficient and has a lower rate of adverse drug reaction compared with that of high-dose monotherapy. Antihypertensive drugs of different classes have complementary effects, resulting in a higher degree of BP reduction and a lower rate of adverse drug reaction. The best choices of antihypertensive drug combinations are those recommended in the ESH/ESC 2007 Guidelines . Fixed-dose combinations of two drugs are rarely used in children, as individual based contributions are preferred, but fixed combinations may have a place in treating adolescents to improve compliance Clinical conditions for which specific antihypertensive drug classes are recommended or contraindicated For our patient, she was given a monotherapy of Amlodipine 5mg/tab once a day. 1st Follow-up April 2012 The Patient’s BP maintained from 150/90…no decrease of BP despite of Amlodipine 5mg tablet. Patient started to jog for minutes around the house and roam around the area with her dog. Patients lessen her calorie intake thanks to the parents change of food at home. Parents started to prepare healthier food with less salt Parents have been very supportive. Siblings stop to eat with the patient for snacks and joined the patient to jog. One of her sibling who still was a bad influence to her was transferred to their grandmother’s house.

Assessment Hypertension stage II probably secondary to Obesity Hyperlipidemia Obese II Diagnostic: NONE PHARMACOLOGIC Changed Amlodipine 5mg to Losartan 50mg/tab as there was no change for one month. Decided to change to prevent target organ damage and decrease fluid retention COUNSELING I once again ask the patient how was she. How did she feel about the diet change If she was fully aware and really understand her condition. She told to me “ok lang” “Ginagawa ko rin dahil sa ng mama ko.” I asked her if she still remembers what I told her about the health risk involved in hypertension and obesity. She said “Opo doc naala ko naman.” I asked her about if her overweight made her conscious on her appearance, she said no on the 1st consult but she did admit that it was especially when some of her classmates tease her. She also wanted to be noticed by her crush. Then I started to use a behavior change tool….I asked her what are her goals in life? She said she wanted to work in as an engineer and have a family for own. She wanted to travel and have lots of friends. I asked her what does eating to much and having a sedentary lifestyle has to do with her dream. She said that being hypertensive and overweight .. “magkakasakit ako palagi at baka palagi nasa hospital”. She then realized that she would have to change. (xxx good application of a motivational interviewing tool. You may want to explain the model a bit so that people realize that you were doing something structured and previously studied rather than just counseling “off the cuff”. Look up the “decisional-balance technique” of prochaska and diclementi) The patient is now willing to change hence I made a treatment plan to target obesity hence decrease hypertension…. APPROACH ON TREATMENT TO OBESITY According the AAP’s Recommendations for Treatment of Child and Adolescent Overweight and Obesity To date, no clinical trials have determined whether specific dietary modifications alone (ie, without behavioral interventions and increased physical activity) are effective in reducing childhood overweight and obesity rates. Comprehensive interventions that include behavioral therapy along with changes in nutrition and physical activity are the most closely studied and seem to be the most successful approaches to improving long-term weight and health status. The said report reviews evidence about the treatment of obesity that may have application in the primary care setting. It examines current information about eating behaviors, physical activity behaviors, and sedentary behaviors that may affect weight gain. Many of the studies are correlational, rather than interventional. Also examined are studies of multidisciplinary, behavior-based, obesity treatment programs and information about more-aggressive forms of treatment, such as bariatric surgery. Reviews are followed by evidence-based treatment recommendations In the study…showed a guideline on how to treat and manage adolescent obesity Based on 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Nutritional Treatment Macronutrient Therapy Food Behaviors Dietary Interventions Physical Activity and Reducing Sedentary Activities Behavioral Approaches Other Interventions Recommendations of Stages of Treatment Nutritional Treatment In the guideline, it reviewed nutritional treatment for our patient to decrease obesity which included Fruits and Vegetables, Fruit Juice, Sweetened Beverage, Dairy Food and Calcium and Dietary fiber Fruits and Vegetables Eight studies evaluating the relationship between fruit and/or vegetable intake and body weight were reviewed; All had mixed results but two studies found an inverse association with adiposity Macronutrient Therapy In terms of macronutrient alternations the study says that Carbohydrates and Fat have shown that significant weight loss can be achieved over 3 to 6 months with energy restricted or ad libitum dietary prescriptions varying widely in macronutrient composition.52–59 However, follow-up rates have been disappointing. Weight loss at follow-up times of 12 to 18 months rarely exceeds 5% of baseline weight. Very-low-fat diets have been shown to promote weight loss in several studies with adults. glycemic index (GI) has been proposed to affect body weight regulation and risk for obesity-associated complications.80 The GI is defined as the area under the glucose dose-response curve after consumption of 50 g of available carbohydrate from a test food, divided by the area under the curve after consumption of 50 g of available carbohydrate from a control food (either white bread or glucose). Short-term feeding studies indicated that hunger and cumulative food intake were greater 3 to 5 hours after a high-GI versus low-GI meal, controlled for macronutrient and energy contents.81 However, not all observational studies found a direct association between GI and weight gain.f a very-low-energy diet The evidence for children and adolescents does not support any specific macronutrient or dietary strategy at this time. Protein The use of Protien diet or PSMF(Protein Sparing Modified Fast) is not a diet to be used for long-term treatment of overweight. Rather, the purpose of using a PSMF diet is to bring about rapid weight loss during the initial phase of treatment while minimizing the negative effects. FOOD BEHAVIORS In terms of the FOOD BEHAVIORS of our patient Breakfast Skipping showed Evidence supports observations that obese children are more likely to skip breakfast or to eat smaller breakfasts than leaner children. The evidence seems to suggest that breakfast skipping may be a risk factor for increased adiposity, particularly among older children or adolescents.. Overweight children have also been reported to eat smaller breakfasts and larger dinners, in comparison with non overweight children. It has been suggested that eating. Hence patient was advised not to skip meals. One problem of our patient is Snacking In a review of the literature, the American Dietetic Association13 found that snacking frequency or snack food intake might not be associated with adiposity in children furthermore, snacks tend to have higher energy density and fat content than meals, and frequent snacking has been associated with high intakes of fat, sugar, and energy. In Eating Out, evidence shows that consuming food away from home, particularly at fast food establishments, may be associated with adiposity, especially among adolescents. In addition, the frequency of eating fried foods away from home was associated with greater intakes of total energy, sugar-sweetened beverages, and trans fats, as well as less consumption of low-fat dairy foods and fruits and vegetable. DIETARY INTERVENTIONS Use of Balanced-Macronutrient/Low-Energy Dietsa reduced-energy diet (less energy than required to maintain weight but not less than 1200 kcal [5040 kJ]/day) may be an effective part of a multicomponent weight management program in children 6 to 12 years of age.108–113 Use of a reduced-energy diet (not less than 1200 kcal [5040 kJ]/day) in the acute treatment phase for adolescent overweight is generally effective for short-term improvement in weight status; without continuing interventions,however, weight is regained. Another intervention is the traffic light diet its goal was to provide the most nutrition with the lowest energy intake. The Food Guide Pyramid was designed as a general guide for diet and exercise and not as a weight loss tool. Although it may be used as a component of a comprehensive childhood weight management program, the evidence does not indicate that, by itself, the Food Guide Pyramid is an effective weight loss tool. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY It used these measurements to calculate physical activity levels, as follows: physical activity level_ total energy expenditure/basal metabolic rate. Body fat and BMI were used to estimate body composition. Body fat and BMI were found to be significantly inversely correlated with physical activity levels. 131 Studies that use weight loss as the only criterion with which to assess the value of increased physical activity may miss other important benefits this confers. In a meta-analysis, P. McGovern, PhD (unpublished data, 2006) found that physical activity decreased fat mass but not BMI. Other studies indicated that exercise also improved cardiovascular risk factors. There is some debate in the literature regarding whether structured or unstructured activities should be promoted as a means to increase physical activity. The position of the American Academy of Pediatrics on physical fitness and activity in schools advocates increases in both forms of activity.140 It states that the development of a physically active lifestyle should be a goal for all children. Amount of Physical Activity the US Department of Agriculture has recommended that children and adolescents participate in 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity most days of the week, preferably daily. The American Academy of Pediatrics Recommends that 30 minutes of this activity occur during the school day. Very obese children may need to start with shorter periods of activity and gradually increase the time spent being active. The CDC suggests that parents can help children meet this activity goal by serving as role models, incorporating enjoyable physical activity into family life, monitoring the time their children spend watching television, playing video games, and using the computer, and intervening if too much time is spent in sedentary pursuits Reducing Sedentary Activities A complementary strategy for promoting physical activity among children and adolescents is to decrease their inactivity by decreasing the time spent in sedentary activities such as television viewing, leisure time use of the computer, and video game playing. Staying active while watching television by stretching, performing calisthenics, or using exercise equipment can also reduce the time spent in sedentary pursuits. Television viewing may have a negative effect on both sides of the energy balance equation. Television Viewing and Obesity Investigators have examined many aspects of diet and physical activity, but some of the strongest evidence of a behavioral risk for overweight in children points to the impact of television viewing. Epidemiologic and experimental evidence from the past decade supports de-Television viewing is likely to influence overweight by replacing more vigorous activities, as well as affecting diet. Weight Recommendations According to Age and BMI Percentile The AAP guideline provided a systematic approach which to manage obesity patietns The staged care process is divided into 4 stages, that is, (1) Prevention Plus (healthy lifestyle changes), (2) structured weight management, (3) comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention, and (4) tertiary care intervention. Use of NONPHARMACOLOGIC PLAN A. Use Prevention Plus Stage 1 Intervention Using the algorhythm, our patient is at the >99 percentile hence a Prevention Plus Stage 1 interventions should be based on the family’s readiness to change and include the following 1. Consumption of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day 2. Minimization or elimination of sugar-sweetened beverages 3. Limits of 2 hours of screen time per day, no television in the room where the child sleeps, and no television viewing 4. 1 hour of physical activity per day Physical activity can be increased gradually for sedentary children. Children may be unable to achieve 1 hour of activity per day initially but can gradually increase activity to reach 1 hour/day. B. Stricter implementation on the Diet Low Energy Diet of 2000kcal C350 P75 F 35 from a 3022kcal diet and a strict decrease of salt content C. Establishing an exercise plan Jogging at their area for 40 min starting from moderate to vigorous aerobic-based physical activity 3–5 days/week 2nd follow-up May 2012 S> Weight loss of 8 pounds for 2 months… Lessen of BP from 150/90 to 130/80… Management Maintain medicines and continued diet and excerise plan. No OB consult yet..patient was advised to Patient still has no menstration. I also advised that their family, the parents and her brothers and sisters to seek consult for the obesity 3rd Follow-up August 2012 Patient had weight loss of 2 pounds but having trouble to maintain diet and exercise during the school year due to the availability of food and temptations. BP lowered to 120/80. Patient started to play badminton with family and still continue to jog if she has free time. Plan: Advise to have a more structured diet and exercise to adapt to school by having a list of food to eart in day. Patient was advised to have cooked food from home PSYCHOSOCIAL ISSUES - ADOLESCENT ISSUES 1. Self-Image 2. Addiction to TV and Facebook 3. Role of parents in adolescence WELLNESS PLAN FOR THE PATIENT 1. Lifestyle Continue the Prevention Plus Plan for our patient with a advice increase Physical and outdoor activities. 2. Screening Patient was advised an annual screening to detect organ damage and risk of other disease like Type II Diabetes 3. Immunizations- Influenza vaccine yearly, Varicella vaccine. GOING BACK TO THE PATIENT The good news is that the patient’s BP is at 120-130/80-90. Patient hasn’t made progressively weight loss though since the 3 months ago however her lifestyle changed dramatically from the years where in she have been eating excessively. She started to have self confidence and The family as well, changed their eating habits and have increase INSIGHTS ON THE CASE THANK YOU VERY MUCH
