BACKGROUND: Postoperative admission to the surgical intensive care unit (S-ICU) is commonly planned to prevent and treat complications, unnecessary admission to the S-ICU increases medical costs and length of hospital stay. This study aimed evaluated outcome and the predictive factors for mortality in patients admitted to the S-ICU after abdominal surgery. METHODS: The 168 patients admitted to the S-ICU immediately after abdominal surgery were reviewed retrospectively from January to December 2011. RESULTS: The mortality rate of patients admitted to the S-ICU after abdominal surgery was 8.9% (15 of 168). Two preoperative factors (body mass index [BMI] < 18.5 kg/m2 [p < 0.001] and serum albumin < 3.0 g/dL [p = 0.018]), two operative factors (the need for transfusion [p = 0.008] or vasopressors [p = 0.013] during surgery), and three postoperative variables (mechanical ventilation immediately following surgery [p < 0.001], sequential organ failure assessment [p = 0.001] and SAPS II [p = 0.001] score) were associated with mortality in univariate analysis. After adjusting for age, gender, and SAPS II by a Cox regression, which revealed that BMI < 18.5 kg/m2 (p < 0.001, hazard ratio [HR] 9.690, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.990-25.258) and the use of mechanical ventilation on admission to S-ICU (p < 0.001, HR 34.671, 95% CI 6.440-186.649) were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: In patients in S-ICU after abdominal surgery, low BMI and postsurgical mechanical ventilation should be considered important predictors of mortality.

6.Traumatic Brain Injury in Childhood.
Journal of the Korean Child Neurology Society 2006;14(1):87-93
PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to investigate the traumatic brain injury(TBI) in childhood and to identify factors related with its prognosis. METHODS: The medical records of 256 children with traumatic brain injury were analyzed retrospectively, who were treated in Chungnam National University Hospital for more than 6 years from January, 1998 to December, 2003. Outcomes were classified by age, sex, cause, Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS), Glasgow Outcome Scale(GOS), sequelae and so forth. RESULTS: A total of 256 patients were identified. The male to female ratio was 1.9:1. The main cause of TBI was traffic accidents(67.1%), followed by falls(25.8%). The outcomes of TBI were determined by GOS, in which death occurred in 16 cases(6.2%), severe disabilities in 11 cases(4.3%), moderate disabilities in 24 cases(9.4%), and good recoveries in 205 cases(80.1%). Poor prognostic factors were low GCS, post-traumatic early seizure, high blood glucose levels and abnormal pupil reflexes(P<0.05). The sequelae of TBI were quadriparesis(3.5%), learning disability(3%), mental retardation(2.3%), hemiparesis(1.6%) and others. CONCLUSION: This study suggest that it is possible to predict poor outcomes of TBI children by assessing the clinical manifestations. A long term follow-up of seizures and other sequelae is essential to TBI children who have poor prognosis.
