Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between coagulation function and pediatric critical illness scores (PCIS) in children with severe pneumonia.Methods The PCIS were collected in 152 children with severe pneumonia (pneumonia group) admitted in our pediatric intensive care unit from Jan 2010 to Jul 2011,and 20 healthy children in the same period were selected as the healthy control group.The coagulation indicators of children in both groups were detected and the relationship between coagulation markers and severity of pneumonia was analyzed.Results There were significant differences in platelet count,fibrinogen,D-Dimer,soluble P-selectin between pneumonia group and healthy control goup [(185.74 ±116.26) × 109/L vs (287.10 ±90.01) × 109/L,(3.51 ±0.50) g/L vs (3.15 ±0.15) g/L,(1.39 ±2.18) μg/ml vs (0.36 ± 0.07) μ g/ml,(110.07 ± 83.47) ng/ml vs (33.74 ± 9.47) ng/ml,P ＜ 0.05].There were positive correlation between soluble P-selectin,D-Dimer and severity of disease and negative correlation between platelet count and severity of disease in children with severe pneumonia.Regression equation:y =1.154 +0.003 × soluble P-selectin + 0.089 × D-Dimer-0.001 × platelet count (P ＜ 0.05).As the children's critical condition getting worse,soluble P-selectin and D-Dimer levels increased (P ＜ 0.05).Hatelet count showed no significant difference between critical group and extremely critical group,which was significantly lower than that in non-critical group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Soluble P-selectin,D-Dimer,and platelet count are associated with the severity of pneumonia.The children with severe pneumonia are easy to have coagulation disturbance.
