Clinical characteristics of testicular torsion and factors influencing testicular salvage in children: A 12-year study in tertiary center.
World Journal of Clinical Cases 2024 March 7
BACKGROUND: Testicular torsion is the most common acute scrotum worldwide and mainly occurs in children and adolescents. Studies have demonstrated that the duration of symptoms and torsion grade lead to different outcomes in children diagnosed with testicular torsion.
AIM: To predict the possibility of testicular salvage (TS) in patients with testicular torsion in a tertiary center.
METHODS: We reviewed the charts of 75 pediatric patients with acute testicular torsion during a 12-year period from November 2011 to July 2023 at the Suzhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine independent predictors of testicular torsion. The data included clinical findings, physical examinations, laboratory data, color Doppler ultrasound findings, operating results, age, presenting institution status, and follow-up results.
RESULTS: Our study included 75 patients. TS was possible in 57.3% of all patients; testicular torsion occurred mostly in winter, and teenagers aged 11-15 years old accounted for 60%. Univariate logistic regression analyses revealed that younger age ( P = 0.09), body mass index ( P = 0.004), torsion angle ( P = 0.013), red blood cell count ( P = 0.03), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio ( P = 0.009), and initial presenting institution ( P < 0.001) were associated with orchiectomy. In multivariate analysis, only the initial presenting institution predicted TS ( P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The initial presenting institution has a predictive value for predicting TS in patients with testicular torsion. Children with scrotal pain should be admitted to a tertiary hospital as soon as possible.
