Abstract:
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in children with pneumonia in Chongzhou, Sichuan Province, and to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of AAD in children with pneumonia. Methods A total of 394 children with pneumonia admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to June 2021 were selected and divided into control group and AAD group according to whether the children had AAD. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of pediatric pneumonia complicated with AAD. Results There were 79 cases of children with pneumonia complicated with AAD (20.05%). The average age of the ADD group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). There were significant differences between the two groups in age of onset, length of hospital stay, type of antibiotics combined use, duration of antibiotics application, proportion of bacterial use of probiotics, and type of antibiotics (P<0.05). The age of onset <3 years old, duration of antibiotics application ≥5 days, combined use of three kinds of antibiotics, use of cephalosporin antibiotics, and no use of probiotics are independent risk factors for AAD in children with pneumonia. Conclusion The risk of AAD in children with pneumonia in Chongzhou is high, and the main pathogens are Candida and Escherichia coli. For children with cephalosporin antibiotics use, long application time of antibiotics, and onset age <3 years old, early application of probiotics should be done to reduce the risk of pediatric pneumonia complicated with AAD.
