Risk factors for recurrence of intussusception in pediatric patients: A retrospective study

Abstract Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the prediction of mortality in pediatric patients with sepsis of abdominal origin. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients with sepsis of abdominal origin admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in Shanghai Children’s Hospital between May 2014 and April 2018. Results: A total of 143 patients were enrolled in this study. The mortality rate in pediatric patients with sepsis of abdominal origin was 11% (17/143). PRISMIII score, the grade of acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI), hematologic malignancy, acute kidney injury, the initial number of organ dysfunction, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and blood platelet (PLT) were potential risk factors for increased mortality. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that higher Pediatric risk of mortality III (PRISM III) score and the grade of AGI were independent risk factors of mortality in patients with sepsis of abdominal origin. Furthermore, the area under receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for PRISM III score and the grade of AGI were 0.91 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.86–0.96, P<0.001) and 0.83 (95% CI 0.74–0.92, P<0.001), in which the optimal cut-off value was 10.5 and 2.5, respectively. In addition, the Kaplan-Meier curve indicated that the 28-day survival rate was significantly lower in patients with higher PRISM III score (>10.5) and the grade of AGI (>2.5). Conclusions: Higher PRISM III score and the grade of AGI were associated with poor outcomes in pediatric patients with sepsis of abdominal origin.

Risk Factors For Recurrence

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathologic features of mucinous borderline ovarian tumors (MBOTs), with an emphasis on the risk factors for recurrence.MethodsData of 76 patients with MBOT diagnosed and treated between 2000 and 2007 at a single institution were analyzed in this retrospective study. The clinicopathologic features of different tumor subgroups were analyzed, including pathology, surgical methodology, recurrence, and overall survival.ResultsThe median patient age was 40 years (13–85 years). Forty-six patients with gastrointestinal mucinous borderline tumors (intestinal MBOTs) (73.7%) and 20 patients with endocervical MBOT (26.3%) were identified. Forty radical surgeries and 26 conservative surgeries were performed. There were 74.6% patients (50/67) with stage I disease among the 67 patients who received comprehensive surgical staging.During a median follow-up time of 151 months, 9 recurrences were identified. Median duration from surgery to recurrence was 26.4 months (range, 13–50 months). There was no difference in recurrence rate between intestinal MBOT and endocervical MBOT (14.3% vs 5.0%; P > 0.05). The recurrence rate of stage III tumors was significantly higher than that of stage I (33.3% vs 8%; P < 0.05). The recurrence rate after conservative surgery was higher than that after radical procedures (21.4% vs 6.3%; P < 0.05).ConclusionsThe majority of patients with MBOT had a favorable prognosis. Patients with later-stage disease had a higher recurrence rate.
