RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effect of phosphocreatine in the treatment of infant with Pneumonia complicated with myocardial injury.Methods Sixty-eight infants with Pneumonia complicated with myocardial injury were randomized into treatment group (n = 36)and control group (n = 32) .The two groups were both treated with combined anti-infection, antiasthmatic and supporting treatments while the treatment group was given additional phosphocreatine.The ECG,recovery of myocardial enzymes, recovery time of major clinical symptoms and syndromes and the period of hospitalization of the two groups were compared.Results Recovery of ECG and myocardial enzymes in the treatment group (94.44％ and 94.44％)were significantly higher than those in the control group(78.13％ and 75.00％ ,respectively) (x2 =3.93 and 5.11 ,respectively,P ＜0.05).Recovery of clinical presentations were more rapid in the treatment group than that in control group (time for cough recovery, [9.5 ± 2.4]d vs.[11.1 ± 2.6]d ;time for rale disappearance, [8.1 ± 1.9]d vs.[10.3 ± 2.4]d) (t =2.63 and t =4.16 respectively ;P ＜0.05 and ＜0.01 respectively).The period of hospitalization was decreased markedly in the treatment group compared with that in the control group([11.5 ±2.2]d vs.[14.3 ±2.8]d) (t = 4.55, P ＜ 0.01) .ConclusionPhosphocreatine has prominent efficacy in the treatment of infantile Pneumonia complicated with myocardial injury.
