Abstract:Objective To explore the risk factors of children with refractory mycoplasma pneumonia pneumonia (RMPP). Methods Clinical manifestations,laboratory indexes and image features of 153 children with general mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (GMPP) and 32children with refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) from January 2016 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, and ROC curve was mapped to analyze the predictive value of independent risk factors in RMPP; stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed for risk factors of RMPP. Results Compared with 153 cases of general mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (GMPP), durations of fever days were longer and LDH, the percentage of neutrophil, CRP, PCT levels were also higher in 32 cases of RMPP (P < 0.05). Lung infiltration (≥ 2/3), pleural effusion, pulmonary consolidations, lobar atelectasis, mixed with infection and extrapulmonary complications were higher (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that, fever duration, LDH, the percentage of neutrophil, CRP and PCT had good values for identification of children with RMPP and GMPP, and the best threshold point is 10.5 days,342.5 IU/L, 59.85%, 22.86mg/L and 0.1 ng/ml, respectively. Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that fever days [Ol ^ R=6.939 (95% CI: 2.016, 22.885)], lung infiltration (≥ 2/3) [Ol ^ R=48.045 (95% CI: 5.880, 392.561)] and LDH [Ol ^ R=10.075 (95% CI: 2.770, 36.640)] were the independent risk factors of RMPP. Conclusions Fever duration, lung infiltration (≥ 2/3), mixed with infection and extrapulmonary complications, the levels of serum LDH and CRP are significantly increased, which is helpful for the early identification of RMPP. Fever duration, lung infiltration (≥ 2/3) and LDH were independent risk factors for RMPP.
