All examined children were divided into two alternative groups: Group I (main) was represented by 28 children with gastroesophageal reflux in combination with cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders, and Group II (control) - 28 children with only gastroesophageal reflux without cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders. Patients underwent clinical, anamnestic (with a detailed study of life history) and instrumental studies (electrocardiography, Holter daily ECG monitoring, esophagogastroduodenoscopy).</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>. When analyzing the prognostic significance of the patient’s life history, it was found that its very high level was observed for the number of foci of chronic infection (I=6.0) and the frequent incidence of a child up to year old of life (I=3.05).</p> <p>High prognostic value was registered relative to the number of diseases suffered by the child per year on average (I=2.35), and moderate predictor properties are characteristic of chickenpox (I=0.89) and the number of chronic diseases at present (I=0.71).</p> <p>The duration of breastfeeding showed low (I=0.30) prognostic significance.</p> <p>Suffered previously bacterial infections did not have predictor properties (I=0.12). In general, the prognostic significance of the patient’s life history was high (I̅=2.20).</p> <p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> It was found that in general the prognostic significance of the patient’s life history was high (I̅=2.20)</p> <p>It is determined that in favour of the development of cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders evidence: the number of foci of chronic infection ≥1-2; lack of frequent morbidity in a child up to a year of life; the number of diseases suffered per year ≤5; the presence in past medical history of chickenpox; the number of chronic diseases in a child at present ≤2 and short-term (≤9 months) breastfeeding.</p> <p>It has been established what denies probability of development of the researched pathology: absence of the centers of a chronic infection; the presence frequent incidence of a child up to year old of life; the number of diseases suffered per year≥6, and chronic diseases at present ≥3; longer (≥9 months) breastfeeding and no history of chickenpox</p&gt;}, number={6}, journal={EUREKA: Health Sciences}, author={Herasymova, Oksana}, year={2021}, month={Nov.}, pages={43-47} }
