Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application value of tidal lung function combined with fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in children with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia.Methods:The clinical data of 65 children with RSV pneumonia in Shanghai Pudong New Area Gongli Hospital from April 2019 to October 2020 were retrospectively collected. According to the pneumonia severity index (PSI), they were divided into severe group (PSI score>130 points, 19 cases), mild to moderate group (PSI score ≤130 points, 46 cases), and 72 healthy children in the same period were selected as the normal control group. The levels of interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and tidal lung function parameters and FeNO were compared among the three groups and analyzed their correlation and evaluated the value in disease severity.Results:The level of FeNO in the severe group was higher than that in the mild to moderate group and the normal control group: (23.04 ± 5.49) ppb vs. (15.75 ± 8.24), (9.28 ± 3.51) ppb; the levels of tidal volume per kilogram of body mass (VT/kg), peak time ratio (TPEF/TE), peak volume ratio (VPEF/VE) in the severe group were lower than those in the mild to moderate group and the normal control group: (6.21 ± 1.89) ml/kg vs. (8.40 ± 1.27), ( 9.39 ± 3.04) ml/kg; (16.39 ± 6.61)% vs. (21.72 ± 5.39)%, (38.65 ± 7.20)%; (22.81 ± 6.39)% vs. (25.62 ± 5.30)%, (39.67 ± 4.04)% , there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The correlation analysis results showed that the VT/kg, TPEF/TE, VPEF/VE were negatively correlated with IL-6 ( r = - 0.584, - 0.519, - 0.528; P<0.01), IL-8 ( r = - 0.521, - 0.542, - 0.567; P<0.01), TNF-α ( r = - 0.559, - 0.534, - 0.572; P<0.01) and hs-CRP ( r = - 0.528, - 0.567, - 0.533; P<0.01); the level of FeNO was positively correlated with IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, hs-CRP ( r = 0.672, 0.639, 0.641, 0.672; P<0.01); the levels of VT/kg, TPEF/TE, VPEF/VE were negatively correlated with PSI scores in children with RSV pneumonia ( r = - 0.842, - 0.713, - 0.741; P<0.05); the level of FeNO was positively correlated with PSI scores in children with RSV pneumonia ( r = 0.809, P<0.05). The area under the curve of VT/kg, TPEF/TE, VPEF/VE combined with FeNO to assess the severity of RSV pneumonia in children with RSV pneumonia was 0.888, and the sensitivity and specificity were 73.68% and 91.30%, respectively. Conclusions:Tidal lung function parameters and FeNO are closely related to the severity of RSV pneumonia. The combined detection can be used as an objective basis for assessing the severity of RSV pneumonia.
