Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors for poor prognosis of severe adenovirus pneumonia (SAP) in children. METHODS: The clinical data of 189 children with SAP were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the risk factors for poor prognosis. RESULTS: The univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the patients with hemoglobin <90 g/L, plasma albumin <30 g/L, C-reactive protein >30 mg/L, procalcitonin >10 ng/mL, alanine aminotransferase >100 U/L, or aspartate aminotransferase >100 U/L had poor prognosis (P<0.05), and that those with congenital dysplasia of the airway, acute respiratory distress syndrome, circulatory complications, electrolyte and acid-base disturbance, or more than three complications also had poor prognosis (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Poor prognosis of severe adenovirus pneumonia in children is associated with anemia, low serum albumin, inflammatory response, concurrent multiple complications and underlying lung diseases.
