Abstract
Objective To explore the risk factors for the returning of pediatric liver transplant recipients to the intensive care unit (ICU) and provide reference for the clinical decision-making after surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted with the information of all the pediatric patients who underwent liver transplantation in Ren Ji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and were returned to the ICU from 2019 to 2021.The patients returned to the ICU during hospitalization and the reasons for the return were recorded.Each patient of ICU return was matched with three pediatric patients who did not return to the ICU during hospitalization.The basic information,the vital signs and laboratory indicators on the day of transfer from ICU,immunosuppressants and drug concentrations were compared between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the risk factors for the returning of pediatric liver transplant recipients to the ICU. Results The returning rate of pediatric liver transplant recipients to the ICU was 4.36%,and it was 16.00% within 48 h.The main reasons for the return included respiratory complications,abdominal infections,and hepatic vascular occlusion.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that post-operative red blood cell transfusion (OR=4.554,95%CI=1.743-11.901,P=0.002) and high serum level of uric acid (OR=1.005,95%CI=1.001-1.009,P=0.014) were the risk factors for returning to the ICU.High diastolic blood pressure (OR=0.922,95%CI=0.885-0.960,P<0.001) and high total protein level (OR=0.937,95%CI=0.891-0.986,P=0.012) were the protective factors for returning to the ICU. Conclusion Post-operative red blood cell transfusion and high serum level of uric acid are independent risk factors for the returning of pediatric liver transplant recipients to the ICU.
