Abstract:
Objective To explore the possible influencing factors of secondary diarrhea in pediatric inpatients with pneumonia. Methods A total of 122 pediatric inpatients with pneumonia who developed secondary diarrhea, admitted to the Department of Pediatrics at the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, from January 2019 to March 2024, were selected as the case group. Another 266 pediatric inpatients with pneumonia admitted during the same period who did not develop secondary diarrhea were selected as the control group. Basic information such as gender, age, length of hospital stay, and fever reduction time of the pediatric inpatients with pneumonia was collected. Additionally, binT lymphocyte subpopulations and intestinal flora-related indicators were tested. Univariate analysis and unconditional logistic regression multivariate analysis were used to analyze the possible influencing factors of secondary diarrhea in pediatric inpatients with pneumonia. Results The multivariate results showed that after adjusting for gender, the risk of secondary diarrhea in pediatric inpatients with pneumonia decreased to 90.8% of the original risk with each additional year of age (OR=0.908, 95% CI=0.869-0.948, P<0.001). For every 1 CFU/g increase in the number of Bifidobacterium colonies, the risk of secondary diarrhea decreased to 91.6% of the original risk (OR=0.916, 95% CI=0.865-0.969, P<0.001). For every 1 CFU/g increase in the number of Lactobacillus colonies, the risk decreased to 91.1% of the original risk (OR=0.911, 95% CI=0.881-0.942, P<0.001). For every 1 CFU/g increase in the number of Enterococcus colonies, the risk decreased to 91.5% of the original risk (OR=0.864, 95% CI=0.864-0.968, P<0.001). Conclusions Age, the number of Bifidobacterium colonies, the number of Lactobacillus colonies, and the number of Enterococcus colonies are independent influencing factors of secondary diarrhea in pediatric inpatients with pneumonia.
