A prognostic score in Rotavirus gastroenteritis in children

, , , , , , and

ABSTRACT

Diarrhea is a major health problem and a common cause of morbidity and mortality in children, Rotavirus being the most frequent cause of infectious diarrhea in infants and young children. Aim. Evaluation of patients diagnosted and treated at Arcadia Hospital with Rotavirus gastroenteritis associated on admission with leukocytosis with polynucleosis, and development of a prognostic score by analyzing the associated clinical and biological changes. Methods. Included in the study were 70 patients diagnosed with Rotavirus diarrheea in which several clinical and biological parameters were analyzed in view of determining the changes occurring in those associating leukocytosis with polynucleosis at onset. By statistical analysis the “profile” of the patient with Rotavirus diarrhea associated with leukocytosis with polynucleosis was outlined. Thus we formulated a porgnostic score classifying Rotavirus gastroenteritis into 3 forms: mild (score < 11), moderate (score = 12-20) and severe (score > 20). Clinical course in patients associating leukocytosis with polynucleosis was considered favorable within approximately 1½-3 days, corresponding to prognostic score 12-20. Conclusions. Leucocytosis with polynucleosis at onset in patients with Rotavirus gastroenteritis is not an indicator of bacterial infection, but a negative prognostic factor. This score is easy to calculate and use in clinical practice in patients with acute Rotavirus diarrheea and allows a rapid formulation of prognosis and estimation of disease progression.

REZUMAT

Diareea reprezintă o problemă majoră de sănătate şi o cauză comună de morbiditate şi mortalitate la copii, Rotavirusul reprezentând cea mai importantă cauză de diaree infecţioasă la sugar şi copilul mic. Obiectivul lucrării. Evaluarea pacienţilor diagnosticaţi şi spitalizaţi în Arcadia Hospital cu gastroenterită acută cu Rotavirus, care prezentau la internare leucocitoză cu polinucleoză şi elaborarea unui scor prognostic prin analiza modificărilor clinice şi biologice asociate. Material şi metodă. Am urmărit 70 de pacienţi diagnosticaţi cu diaree cu Rotavirus, la care am analizat mai mulţi parametri clinici şi biologici, urmărind modificările la cei care asociau leucocitoză cu polinucleoză la debut. Am conturat cu ajutorul analizei statistice „profilul” pacientului cu diaree cu Rotavirus care asociază leucocitoza cu polinucleoză. Am formulat astfel un scor prognostic care clasifică gastroenterita cu Rotavirus în 3 forme: uşoară (scor prognostic < 11), moderată (scor prognostic = 12-20) şi severă (scor > 20). Evoluţia la pacienţii care asociau leucocitoză cu polinucleoză a fost considerată favorabilă într-un interval de aproximativ 1½-3 zile, corespunzând scorului prognostic cuprins între 12-20. Concluzii. Leucocitoza cu polinucleoză la debut la pacienţii cu gastroenterită cu Rotavirus nu a reprezentat un indicator de infecţie bacteriană, ci un element de prognostic nefavorabil. Scorul prognostic propus este uşor de calculat şi de aplicat în practica medicală la pacienţii cu diaree acută cu Rotavirus şi permite formularea rapidă a prognosticului şi estimarea duratei de evoluţie a bolii.

REZUMAT

Greutatea mică la naştere este un indicator important al sănătăţii infantile prin prisma relaţiei strânse dintre greutatea la naştere şi morbiditatea şi mortalitatea infantilă. Diminuarea ratei de mortalitate şi morbiditate presupune cunoaşterea particularităţilor de creştere şi îngijire la aceste categorii de copii. Indiferent de categoria din care fac parte – prematuri, mici pentru vârsta gestaţională, întârziere în creşterea intrauterină – aceşti copii, prin greutatea la naştere mică, au un risc crescut de a dezvolta malnutriţie, motiv pentru care la aceştia se impune cunoaşterea necesarului energetic şi de principii alimentare maximale, particular lor. Asigurarea unui suport nutriţional optim precoce reprezintă elementul esenţial al îngrijirii acestora.

CURRENT TRENDS IN FEEDING AND CARING FOR PREMATURE AND LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS

ABSTRACT

Low weight at birth is an important indicator of infant health due to the tight relationship between birth weight and infant mortality and morbidity. The diminishing of the mortality and morbidity rate requires information on the growth characteristics and caring requirements for this category of children. Regardless of the category they are in – prematures, Small for Gestational Age, delay in intrauterine growth – these children, due to their low weight at birth present a high risk to develop malnutrition, a reason why there should be known the energy requirements and the optimum nutrition principles, specific to them. Ensuring an early most favourable diet is the essential element in their care assistance.
