Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of strong ion gap (SIG),anion gap (AG),and the anionic gap corrected by albumin (ACAG) and lactate in evaluating the prognosis of severe pneumonia in children. Methods Pediatric patients with severe pneumonia hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from June 2014 to June 2017 were selected as study subjects. A total of 20 death pa-tients (death group) and 59 survivors (survival group) were analyzed respectively according to their progno-sis. The data of Na + ,K + ,Cl - ,HCO -3 ,Mg2 + ,Ca2 + ,pH,PaCO2 ,P,albumin and lactate were obtained from blood gas analysis and blood biochemistry. Based on these data,ACAG was calculated by the Henderson-hasselbalach formula and SIG was calculated by the Stewart-Figge formula. Results There were significant differences in ACAG,SIG,and lactate levels between death group and survival group(P < 0. 05). The area under the ROC curve of ACAG was 0. 756,and the area under the ROC curve of SIG was 0. 936,which were larger than the area under the diagnostic reference line (P < 0. 05),the results were statistically significant. The sensitivity and specificity of ACAG was 79. 7％ and 70. 0％ respectively,and the cut off was 12. 7. The sensitivity and specificity of SIG was 81. 4％ and 95. 5％ respectively,and the cut off was 2. 7. Conclusion SIG,ACAG and lactate have the guiding value in assessing the prognosis of children with severe pneumonia. Meanwhile,SIG has a greater guiding significance for the assessment of the prognosis of children with severe pneumonia.
