“…In this series, we verified as statistically significant the following risk factors: use of invasive devices such as CVC or nasogastric tubes, length of stay in PICU, and antibiotics use. However, only the use of antibiotics and the use of CVCs and nasogastric tubes were independently associated with NI, similar to results reported elsewhere [20][21][22] . The length of stay in our PICU was found to be the risk factor for NI by unvaried analyses, similar to other studies, and long stay reflects the severity of the underlying disease, requiring greater care 6,23 .…”

“…In this group the risk for acquiring NI is from five to ten times greater 19 . The major risk factors for the acquisition of NI in pediatric patients are the severity of the underlying disease, the presence of an invasive device, longer time of hospitalization in PICU, high population density, and use of antibiotics 20 . In this series, we verified as statistically significant the following risk factors: use of invasive devices such as CVC or nasogastric tubes, length of stay in PICU, and antibiotics use.…”
