Resumo
Objetivo: Avaliar o nível de conhecimento dos pediatras paranaenses sobre a Síndrome de Ehlers-Danlos Hipermóvel (SEDh) e o uso da Escala de Beighton como ferramenta clínica para triagem de hipermobilidade articular generalizada. Métodos: Estudo observacional, descritivo e transversal, de abordagem quantitativa, realizado por meio de questionário eletrônico encaminhado pela Sociedade Paranaense de Pediatria. O instrumento incluiu perguntas sobre conhecimento da SEDh, aplicação da Escala de Beighton e relação entre hipermobilidade e dor musculoesquelética. Dos 25 convites enviados, 10 foram respondidos, resultando em taxa de resposta de 40%. Resultados: Verificou-se que 38% dos pediatras conheciam a SEDh, 22% utilizavam a Escala de Beighton e 46% reconheciam a associação entre hipermobilidade e dor musculoesquelética. Os achados demonstram lacuna de capacitação profissional e escassa familiaridade com instrumentos diagnósticos simples e eficazes para triagem precoce. Conclusão: Há necessidade de ampliar o ensino sobre colagenopatias e hipermobilidade articular na formação médica e na educação continuada, promovendo diagnóstico mais precoce, intervenção fisioterapêutica preventiva e melhor qualidade de vida a pacientes pediátricos.
