ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of prognosis in children with brain trauma.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 125 cases diagnosed as brain trauma in PICU of Shengjing Hospital affiliated to China Medical University from January 2009 to December 2014.The risk factors influencing prognosis were analyzed by using single factor analysis and multiple factors Logistic regression methods.The risk factors included Glasgow coma score (GCS) on admission,blood glucose,lactic acid,prothrombin time,international normalized ratio (INR),serum sodium,serum potassiumin,pulse within 24 hours after admission,gender,age,time for therapy,shock,respiratory failure,cerebral hermia and surgery.Results Eighty-four cases survived and 41 cases died.The fatality rate was 32.8％.T test and chi-square test of risk factors showed that GCS score,blood glucose,blood lactic acid,INR,respiratory failure,shock had a significant influence on the prognosis of brain trauma in children (P ＜ 0.05).Multviariable Logistic regression analysis showed that GCS score,blood glucose,blood lactic acid,respiratory failure were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of brain trauma (OR =7.434,0.473,0.615,0.000,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Pediatric brain trauma has a rapid progress and poor prognosis with high mortality and disability rate.GCS score,blood sugar,blood lactic acid,respiratory failure are independent risk factors for prognosis of brain trauma in children.
