Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the risk factors for the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in children with measles.
METHODSThe clinical data of 55 children with measles were retrospectively studied. Of the 55 children, 11 were complicated by ARDS. The risk factors for the development of ARDS were investigated by univariate analysis and multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analysis.
RESULTSThe univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the oxygen inhalation mode (nasal catheter/mask), the rate of sepsis, blood C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and lymphocyte counts at admission between the ARDS and non-ARDS groups (P<0.05). The presence of sepsis and higher blood CRP levels were identified as the major risk factors for the development of ARDS by the multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR=116.444, 1.050 respectively; P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe children with measles who have sepsis and higher blood CRP levels are at risk of ARDS.
