Abstract:
Objective To detect the incidence and monality of the pediatric sepsis/severe sepsis,and to investigate the risk factors for poor prognosis in these patients.Methods From Jan.1 to Dec.31,2008,all pediatric patients admitted to PICU in Beijing Children's Hospital were prospectively surveyed.Both Chinese pediatric critical care scoring system and American guidelines for PICU admission and discharge were applied for screening subjects.The diagnosis criteria of pediatric sepsis/severe sepsis were made according to the definition determined on the International Pediatric Sepsis Consensus Conference held in the United States in early 2002.The qualified subjects were surveyed by questionnaire until discharge.After three months,the subjects were followed up by telephone.Results In a total of 742 children were screened.545 cases were critically ill,143 cases (26.2%) developed sepsis,and 104 cases (19.1%) deteriorated into a state af severe sepsis.Hospital mortality of severe sepsis was 21.2%,and that of sepsis was 0.7%.At the end of three months after discharged from hospital,mortality of severe sepsis was 30.8%.and that of sepsis was 1.4%.Patients under 3-year-old accounted for 72.5%.Pneumonia was the most common primary disease.The respiratory dysfunctions in severe sepsis cases were most common organ dysfunction (73.1%) . In surviving patients with severe sepsis,the PICU stay was significantly longer than that in deceased patients,and the PICU costs and average per capita costs were higher than the critically ill patients.Muhiple stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that pediatric critical illness score (PCIS score),capillary refilling Lime,respiratory dysfunction and hypoalbuminemia were the risk factors for death.Conclusions Sepsis/severe sepsis are common in the PICU,which have high mortality,high hospital charges.Infants and young children were the most commonly affected.Pneumoma was the most common primary disease.PCIS score.capillary filling time,respiratory dysfunction and hypoalbuminemia were the risk factors for death.
