An increasing number of HIV-infected children require a surgical procedure. The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with the development of complications in HIV-infected children undergoing surgery.
A prospective study of HIV-infected children younger than 60 months undergoing surgery at a tertiary referral pediatric hospital from July 2004 to July 2008 was performed. Children were followed postoperatively for the development of complications, length of stay, and mortality.
Eighty-two HIV-infected children, with a median age of 11.5 months (interquartile range, 6-24 months), were enrolled. Most (68; 82.9%) had World Health Organization stage 3 or 4 HIV disease, 72 (88%) had Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stage 2 or 3 disease, and 60 (73%) were taking highly active antiretroviral therapy. Half (41; 50%) were underweight, 37 (45.1%) underwent emergency surgery, 28 (34.2%) required major surgery, and 40 (48.7%) had surgical site contamination at the time of surgery. The median length of hospital stay was 4 days (interquartile range, 2-14 days), and in-hospital mortality was 6 (7%). Thirty-four (42%) children developed 37 complications. On univariate analysis, malnutrition, HIV stage, or type of surgery was not associated with development of complications. In contrast, young age (6 vs 13.5 months; P = .0004), low hemoglobin (9.6 vs 10.5 g/dL; P = .04), or having a major procedure (14 [42%] vs 9 [18%]; P = .03; relative risk, 2.2 [1.2-4.8]) was associated with complications. On logistic regression, younger age (odds ratio = 4.3; P = .004; 95% confidence interval, 1.6-11.9) and major surgery (odds ratio = 6.8; P = .001; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-31.4) were associated with development of a complication.
Young age and major surgery were the main predicators of complications in HIV-infected children undergoing surgery.
越来越多的 HIV 感染儿童需要接受手术。本研究旨在探讨接受手术的 HIV 感染儿童发生并发症的相关因素。
对 2004 年 7 月至 2008 年 7 月在一家三级转诊儿科医院接受手术的 60 个月以下的 HIV 感染儿童进行前瞻性研究。对术后发生并发症、住院时间和死亡率的患儿进行随访。
共纳入 82 例 HIV 感染儿童,中位年龄为 11.5 个月(四分位间距,6-24 个月)。大多数(68 例;82.9%)患有世界卫生组织(WHO)分期 3 或 4 期 HIV 疾病,72 例(88%)患有疾病预防控制中心(CDC)分期 2 或 3 期疾病,60 例(73%)接受高效抗逆转录病毒治疗。半数(41 例;50%)为体重不足,37 例(45.1%)接受急症手术,28 例(34.2%)需要大手术,40 例(48.7%)手术时存在手术部位污染。中位住院时间为 4 天(四分位间距,2-14 天),院内死亡率为 6 例(7%)。34 例(42%)儿童发生 37 种并发症。单因素分析显示,营养不良、HIV 分期或手术类型与并发症的发生无关。相反,年龄较小(6 个月 vs 13.5 个月;P =.0004)、血红蛋白水平较低(9.6 g/dL vs 10.5 g/dL;P =.04)或接受大手术(14 例[42%] vs 9 例[18%];P =.03;相对风险,2.2[1.2-4.8])与并发症相关。多因素逻辑回归分析显示,年龄较小(比值比=4.3;P =.004;95%置信区间,1.6-11.9)和大手术(比值比=6.8;P =.001;95%置信区间,1.5-31.4)是发生并发症的主要预测因素。
年龄较小和大手术是 HIV 感染儿童接受手术时发生并发症的主要预测因素。
