There is a limited understanding of the impact of pediatric malnutrition indicators on post-operative outcomes.
All pediatric surgical patients captured in the ACS NSQIP-Pediatric database from 2016 to 2018 were included. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate odds of 30-day post-operative infection by malnutrition definition (stunted, wasted, requiring nutritional support, pre-operative hypoalbuminemia).
Among pediatric surgery patients (n = 282,056), 19% of patients met one definition of malnutrition, 6% met two, 1% met 3, and <0.1% met all 4. After adjustment, requiring nutritional support (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.36-1.60), stunting (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.10-1.25), and hypoalbuminemia (OR 1.17 95% CI 1.04-1.32) were associated with increased odds of post-operative infection while wasting was not. Requiring nutritional support was associated in an increase of 10.17 days (95% CI 9.89-10.44) in time from admission to surgery.
The metric used to define malnutrition changed the association with post-operative outcomes. Nutritional supplementation, stunting, and hypoalbuminemia were associated with poorer postoperative outcomes. These findings have implications for pre-operative patient level counseling, accurate risk stratification, surgical planning, and patient optimization in pediatric surgery.

目前对于小儿营养不良指标对术后结果的影响知之甚少。
本研究纳入了 2016 年至 2018 年 ACS NSQIP-Pediatric 数据库中所有小儿外科患者。采用多变量逻辑回归估计营养不良定义(发育迟缓、消瘦、需要营养支持、术前低白蛋白血症)与 30 天术后感染的比值比。
在小儿外科患者(n=282056)中,19%的患者符合营养不良的一种定义,6%符合两种,1%符合三种,<0.1%符合四种。调整后,需要营养支持(OR 1.47,95%CI 1.36-1.60)、发育迟缓(OR 1.17,95%CI 1.10-1.25)和低白蛋白血症(OR 1.17 95%CI 1.04-1.32)与术后感染的几率增加相关,而消瘦则不然。需要营养支持与从入院到手术的时间增加了 10.17 天(95%CI 9.89-10.44)相关。
用于定义营养不良的指标改变了其与术后结果的相关性。营养补充、发育迟缓及低白蛋白血症与术后不良结局相关。这些发现对小儿外科术前患者个体化咨询、准确的风险分层、手术规划和患者优化具有重要意义。
