Objective

To discuss clinical characteristics of children with urosepsis.

Methods

Between January 2017 and June 2018, a total of 51 children were admitted as study group with the diagnosis of urosepsis. And another 102 children with non-urosepsis were selected into control group through random extraction function of Microsoft Excel 2016. The medical records of demographic data, laboratory tests, and prognosis were collected. Independent-samples t test was performed on platelet count (PLT), fibrinogen (Fib), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). White blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), alanine transferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin, total bilirubin (TB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum Na+ , serum K+ , serum Ca2+ , serum Cl-, glucose, D-dimer (DDI), fibrinogen degradation (FDP), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTBNP), troponin I (cTnI), pH value, and lactic acid were compared by Mann-Whitney U rank sum test. The chi-square test or continuity correction were used to perform statistical analysis on the ratios of gender ratio, pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) occupancy rate, and mortality. This study was in line with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki revised in 2013. There was no significant difference in gender composition ratio between two groups (χ2=1.593, P=0.207).

Results

①The median age of study group was 6-month old (4-12 months old), which was younger than that of control group [10-month old (5-24 months old)] (Z=-2.660, P=0.008). ② The levels of WBC and CRP in study group were 17.4×109/L [(11.8-26.6)×109/L] and 120 mg/L (87-160 mg/L), which were higher than 12.0×109/L [(5.0-17.6)×109/L] and 48 mg/L (20-135 mg/L) in control group. The differences between two groups were statistically significant (Z=-4.145, -4.465; P all<0.001). The proportion of WBC>15×109/L and CRP>40 mg/L in study group were 62.7% (32/51) and 90.2%(46/51), which were higher than those of control group 38.2%(39/102) and 55.9%(57/102), and the differences between two groups were statistically significant (χ2=8.212, 18.197; P=0.004, <0.001). ③ The values of PLT, Ca2+ , Fib and pH value in study group were (344.1±148.7)×109/L, 2.36 mmol/L (2.29-2.49 mmol/L), (492.0±185.1) mg/dL and 7.4 (7.4-7.5), which were higher than (271.2±147.5)×109/L, 2.21 mmol/L (0.08-2.39 mmol/L), (346.0±165.8) mg/dL and 7.4(7.3-7.4) of control group, and the differences between two groups were statistically significant (t=-2.871, P=0.005; Z=-4.002, P=0.992; t=-3.639, P<0.001; Z=-2.108, P=0.035). While the levels of AST, LDH, DDI and cTnI of study group were 35.0 U/L (25.8-44.2 U/L), 534.5 U/L (471.5-649.5 U/L), 1.1 mg/L (0.5-2.2 mg/L), 0.01 μg/L (0.01-0.01 μg/L), which were lower than 46.5 U/L (46.0-87.2 U/L), 673.0 U/L (535.0-1 106.0 U/L), 2.5 mg/L(1.2-4.0 mg/L) and 0.01 μg/L (0.01-0.04 μg/L) of control group, and the differences between two groups were statistically significant (Z=-4.130, 3.851, -2.175, -3.716; P all<0.05). ④The proportion of children required respiratory support, partial pressure of oxygen in artery(PaO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen(FiO2)<300 mmHg, activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) prolongation >10 s, PLT<150×109/L, elevated in cTnI, AST>100 U/L, neurological symptoms, Ca2+ <2.1 mmol/L in study group were 11.8% (6/51), 3.9% (2/51), 8.0% (2/25), 7.8% (4/51), 3.7% (1/27), 6.0% (3/50), 29.4% (15/51), 6.1% (3/49), lower than 47.1%(48/102), 27.5%(28/102), 35.3% (24/68), 20.6% (21/102), 34.4% (22/64), 25.5% (26/102), 61.8% (63/102) and 27.6%(27/98) of control group, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=18.545, 11.941, 6.761, 4.040, 9.458, 8.255, 14.241, 9.235; P all<0.05). ⑤ Among 51 children in study group, 49 children (96.1%, 49/51) showed increased levels of leucocytes and pus cells according to urine routine examination results, another 2 children showed normalities in urine and urine culture but abdominal CT examination results showed renal abscess. ⑥ The PICU transfer rate and mortality of study group were significantly lower than those of control group, and the differences between two groups were statistically significant (χ2=17.480, 6.142; P all<0.05).

Conclusions

Children with urosepsis is more likely to have higher WBC and CRP level, lower organ function rate and better prognosis. For children with sepsis accompanied by high level of inflammatory maker and lower organ dysfunction rate, it is of great significance to carry out early urinalysis, urine culture and have ultrasound or CT of urinary system.
