ABSTRACT
A redução da mortalidade é um objetivo fundamental das unidades de terapia intensiva pediátrica (UTIP). O estágio de gravidade da doença reflete a magnitude das comorbidades e distúrbios fisiológicos no momento da internação e pode ser avaliada pelos escores prognósticos de mortalidade. Os dois principais escores utilizados na UTIP são o Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) e o Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM). O PRISM utiliza os piores valores de variáveis fisiológicas e laboratoriais nas primeiras 24 horas de internação enquanto o PIM2 utiliza dados da primeira hora de internação na UTIP e apenas uma gasometria arterial. Não há consenso na literatura, entre PRISM e PIM2, quanto à utilidade e padronização na admissão na terapia intensiva para as crianças e adolescentes, principalmente em uma UTI de nível de atendimento terciário. O objetivo do estudo foi estabelecer o escore de melhor performance na avaliação do prognóstico de mortalidade que seja facilmente aplicável na rotina da UTIP, para ser utilizado de forma padronizada e contínua. Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo onde foram revisados os escores PRISM e PIM2 de 359 pacientes internados na unidade de terapia intensiva pediátrica do Instituto da Criança do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP, considerada uma unidade de atendimento de nível terciário. A mortalidade foi de 15%, o principal tipo de admissão foi clinico (78%) sendo a principal causa de internação a disfunção respiratória (37,3%). Os escores dos pacientes que foram a óbito mostraram-se maiores do que o dos sobreviventes. Para o PRISM foi 15 versus 7 (p = 0,0001) e para o PIM2, 11 versus 5 (p = 0,0002), respectivamente. Para a amostra geral, o Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) subestimou a mortalidade tanto para o PIM2 quanto para o PRISM [1,15 (0,84 - 1,46) e 1,67 (1,23 - 2,11), respectivamente]. O teste de Hosmer-Lemeshow mostrou calibração adequada para ambos os escores [x2 = 12,96 (p = 0,11) para o PRISM e...
The decrease in mortality is a fundamental goal of the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The disease severity reflects the magnitude of comorbidities and physiological disorders on admission and can be assessed by the mortality prognostic scores. The two main scores used in the PICU are the Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) and Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM). PRISM uses the worst values of physiological and laboratory variables in the first 24 hours of hospitalization while PIM2 uses data from the first hour after admission to the PICU and only one arterial blood gas. There is no consensus in the literature, between PRISM and PIM2, about usefulness and standardization on admission to intensive care for children and adolescents, especially in a tertiary care level ICU. The aim of the study was to establish the score of best performance in assessing the mortality prognosis that is easily applicable in routine PICU, to be used in a standardized and continuously manner. A retrospective study was conducted and PRISM and PIM2 scores of 359 patients were reviewed. All of them were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit of the Instituto da Criança do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, considered a tertiary care unit. Mortality was 15%, the main type of admission was clinical (78%) being the main cause of hospitalization, respiratory dysfunction (37.3%). The scores of the patients who died were higher than that of survivors. For PRISM was 15 versus 7 (p = 0.0001) and the PIM2, 11 versus 5 (p = 0.0002), respectively. For the overall sample, the Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) underestimated mortality for both PIM2 and PRISM [1.15 (0.84 to 1.46) and 1.67 (1.23 to 2.11), respectively]. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed adequate calibration for both scores [x2 = 12.96 (p = 0.11) for the PRISM and x2 = 13.7 (p = 0.09) for PIM2]. The discrimination performed by the area under the ROC curve was more than...

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o impacto da introdução precoce de terapia nutricional enteral na redução da morbimortalidade em unidades de terapia intensiva pediátrica. MÉTODOS: Pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases de dados PubMed, Lilacs e Embase dos últimos 10 anos, em língua inglesa e população-alvo de indivíduos de 1 mês de idade a 18 anos, internados em unidades de terapia intensiva pediátrica, usando as palavras-chave: Critical Care, Nutritional Support e Nutrition Disorders or Malnutrition. RESULTADOS: Apesar dos avanços na qualidade dos cuidados clínicos, a prevalência de desnutrição em crianças hospitalizadas permanece imutável nos últimos 20 anos (15-30%) e tem implicações no tempo de internação, curso da doença e morbidade. A desnutrição é comum e é com frequência pouco reconhecida e então, não tratada. A terapia nutricional é parte essencial no tratamento dos pacientes pediátricos gravemente doentes que apresentam estado de hipercatabolismo proteico, que pode ser minimizado com um plano terapêutico nutricional efetivo. Neste estudo, foram revisadas publicações que mostraram que ainda há uma escassez de pesquisas controladas e randomizadas com bom tratamento estatístico em relação à terapia nutricional enteral com desfecho relacionado à morbimortalidade. As diretrizes atuais para terapia nutricional desses pacientes são amplamente baseadas na opinião de experts e em dados extrapolados de estudos em adultos, bem como de estudos realizados em crianças saudáveis. CONCLUSÃO: A evidência científica na utilização de terapia nutricional enteral na melhora da evolução dos pacientes pediátricos gravemente doentes ainda é escassa e são necessários novos estudos focados nisso, além de diretrizes mais bem-formuladas.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of early introduction of enteral nutrition therapy in reducing morbidity and mortality in pediatric intensive care unit. METHODS: Search in the literature of the last 10 years, in English and the target population of individuals aged 1 month to 18 years admitted to pediatric intensive care units in the databases PubMed, Lilacs and Embase using the keywords: Critical Care, Nutritional Support and Nutrition Disorders or Malnutrition. RESULTS: Despite advances in the quality of clinical care, the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized children remains unchanged in the last 20 years (15-30%) and has implications for the time of admission, course of illness and morbidity. Malnutrition is common and is often poorly recognized and therefore, untreated. Nutritional therapy is an essential part in the treatment of pediatric patients who have severely ill hypercatabolic state protein, which can be minimized with an effective nutritional treatment plan. In this study, we reviewed publications which have shown that there is still a paucity of randomized and controlled studies with good statistical treatment in relation to enteral nutritional therapy with outcomes related to morbidity and mortality. The current guidelines for nutritional therapy in these patients are largely based on expert opinion and data extrapolated from adult studies and studies in healthy children. CONCLUSION: The scientific evidence on the use of enteral nutrition therapy in improving the development of critically ill pediatric patients is still scarce and further studies are needed focusing on it, and better guidelines must be formulated.
