Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the etiology, prognosis and clinical characteristics of abnormal serum amylase and lipase in children.Methods:This study was a retrospective study.A total of 7 813 children older than 28 days who had their serum amylase and lipase detected in Hunan Children′s Hospital from August 2017 to August 2020 were included as the study subjects.Children with acute and chronic pancreatitis were excluded.The age, gender, impatient department, imaging exams, discharge outcomes, main diagnosis, diagnostic ICD10 code, and the highest values of serum amylase and lipase during hospitalization were collected through the medical record system.According to the levels of serum amylase and lipase, the children were divided into 3 groups.Patients in group A had normal serum amylase and serum lipase levels.The serum amylase or lipase levels of patients in group B was 1 to 3 times higher than that of group A. The serum amylase or lipase levels in group C was 3 times higher than that of group A. Group B and group C had abnormal pancreatic enzyme levels.According to the prognosis, patients were divided into the survival group and the death group.The relationship of the occurrence of abnormal serum amylase and lipase levels with the age, sex, disease type and prognosis of children was analyzed.Results:The ratio of abnormal trypsin in male and female was 11.5% and 12.9%, respectively.The number of children with abnormal pancreatic enzyme levels in the 28 day -1 year old group, >1-3 years old group, >3-6 years old group, >6 -12 years old group and > 12 year old group were 37 cases (4.6%), 185 cases (15.4%), 199 cases (10.5%), 431 cases (13.9%), and 94 cases (11.7%), respectively.The mortality rate was 1.6% (112/6 867 cases) in group A, 5.2% (32/617 cases) in group B, and 7.6% (25/329 cases) in group C. The mortality risk of group B and C was both higher than that of group A. Compared with group A, the OR (95% CI) of group B and group C was 3.30 (2.21-4.93) and 4.96 (3.17-7.77), respectively.In group C, the top five diseases were parotitis (26.4%), cholangiectasis (11.6%), choledochal cysts (8.5%), gastroenteritis (4.5%) and sepsis (3.3%). Conclusions:Pancreatic enzyme abnormalities in children are associated with adverse prognosis.Pancreatic enzyme abnormalities are more prone to occur in children aged >1-3 with mumps, digestive diseases and congenital digestive system structural deformities.In addition, children with sepsis are also easy to present pancreatic enzyme abnormalities.Clinical attention should be paid to the possibility of secondary pancreatic damage in children with sepsis.
