Background: Despite improvements in antimicrobial therapy, surgical technique and postoperative care, wound infection is still a major concern in pediatric surgical practice particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh. Objective: This study was conducted to ascertain the relationship between the preoperative nutritional status and postoperative wound infection in children as malnutrition is very prevalent among them. It was also decided to estimate the rate of wound infection in children and to identify the indicator of malnutrition that best predicts wound infection. Methods: This prospective study was carried out in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, BSMMU, Dhaka during the period of January 2009 to September 2010 and included consecutive 100 children undergoing routine surgery. Nutritional status was assessed by measuring BMI, serum albumin, haemoglobin and total lymphocyte count and thus children were categorized preoperatively. The children were assessed during the first 30 postoperative days for the evidence of wound infection that were confirmed by culture and sensitivity. Results: We found most of the wound infections among the malnourished children with low BMI and low serum albumin. Conclusion: Preoperative good nutritional status is associated with less postoperative wound infection and BMI and serum albumin are good indicators but total lymphocyte count and haemoglobin are not good indicators of protein calorie malnutrition and serum albumin is the best predictor of wound infection.

Background: Early detection of changes in nutritional status is important for a better approach to the surgical patient. There are several nutritional measures in clinical practice, but there is not a complete method for determining the nutritional status, so, health professionals should only choose the best method to use. Aim: To evaluate the total lymphocyte count and albumin as predictors of identification of nutritional risk in surgical patients. Methods: Prospective longitudinal study was conducted with 69 patients undergoing surgery of the gastrointestinal tract. The assessment of nutritional status was evaluated by objective methods (anthropometry and biochemical tests) and subjective methods (subjective global assessment). Results: All parameters used in the nutritional assessment detected a high prevalence of malnutrition, with the exception of BMI which detected only 7.2% (n=5). The albumin (p=0.01), the total lymphocytes count (p=0.02), the percentage of adequacy of skinfolds (p<0.002) and the subjective global assessment (p<0.001) proved to be useful as predictors of risk of postoperative complications, since the smaller the values of albumin and lymphocyte count and higher the score the subjective global assessment were higher risks of surgical complications. Conclusions: A high prevalence of malnutrition was found, except for BMI. The use of albumin and total lymphocyte count were good predictor for the risk of postoperative complications and when used with other methods of assessing the nutritional status, such as the subjective global assessment and the percentage of adequacy of skinfolds, can be useful for identification of nutritional risk and postoperative complications.

The aim of this study was to assess the correlation and average cost of total lymphocyte count compared with CD4 count as a broad estimate of immunosuppression in HIV-1 infected individuals. Spearman's partial rank correlation were calculated between total lymphocyte count, absolute CD4 count and CD4 per cent stratified by stage of HIV-1 infection for routinely collected samples. Data were collected prospectively from a T cell-subset register combined with clinical data obtained retrospectively from case notes of HIV-infected patients managed at St Mary's Hospital, London 1982-1991. Costing data were obtained through a survey of the departments of haematology and immunology 1989 90 prices . The correlation between 1534 paired absolute lymphocyte count and CD4 lymphocyte count was found to be high R 0.76 . When analysed by stage of HIV infection, the correlation increased from R 0.64 for asymptomatic patients, to R 0.72 for patients with symptomatic non-AIDS HIV infection and R 0.73 for AIDS patients. Correlations between absolute lymphocyte count and CD4 per cent were considerably weaker: R 0.41 all paired counts; R 0.32 for asymptomatic patients; R 0.25 for symptomatic non-AIDS patients; R 0.32 for AIDS patients. Average cost was 8 per full blood count compared with 38 per T-cell subset analysis. The high correlation between total and CD4 lymphocyte counts, especially for patients with symptomatic HIV disease, demonstrates the suitability of the use of total lymphocyte count in the absence of CD4 counts. Given the considerably lower prices of total lymphocyte counts compared with T-cell subset analysis, this is particularly relevant for developing countries.
