Nested case-control study of multiple serological indexes and Brighton pediatric early warming score in predicting death of children with sepsis.
World Journal of Clinical Cases 2019 Februrary 27
BACKGROUND: Currently, it is difficult to predict the complications of children at the early stage of sepsis. Brighton pediatric early warning score (PEWS) is a disease risk assessment system that is simple and easy to operate, which has good sensitivity and specificity in disease recognition among children. Because detection indicators vary widely in children, a single indicator is difficult to assess the post-treatment status of children with sepsis.
AIM: To investigate the relationship between serological markers, Brighton PEWS, and death in children with sepsis after treatment.
METHODS: A total of 205 children diagnosed with sepsis at our hospital were enrolled. The baseline data, serum scores, and PEWS scores were recorded. In the nested case-control study, children who died during the study period were included in an observation group. According to the matching principle, the children who were not dead in the same cohort were included in a control group. The influencing factors of death in children with sepsis after treatment and the value of each evaluation index in predicting the prognosis of children were analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 96 children were enrolled in the study, including 48 each in the observation group and the control group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that antibacterial treatments within 1 h ( P = 0.017), shock ( P = 0.044), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) ( P = 0.027), serum procalcitonin (PCT) ( P = 0.047), serum albumin (ALB) ( P = 0.024), and PEWS ( P = 0.012) were independent risk factors for the death of children with sepsis. The area under the curve of the combination of ALB, PCT, and PEWS to predict the death in children with sepsis was the highest (0.908).
CONCLUSION: Antibacterial treatments within 1 h, shock, MODS, PCT, ALB, and PEWS are independent risk factors for the death of children with sepsis. The predictive accuracy of the combination of PCT, ALB, and PEWS for the prognosis of children with sepsis is the best.
