Risk factors associated with intestinal necrosis in children with failed non-surgical reduction for intussusception

Abstract: At time of admission, the presence of bloody stools and duration of symptom are the important risk factors for developing intestinal necrosis for those patients who failed non-surgical reduction. The length of illness has the highest sensitivity and specificity to correlate with intestinal necrosis. This finding may suggest that we should take the intussusception cases that have the longer duration of symptom directly to operation room for reduction.

“…Meanwhile, the late diagnosis of intussusception augments the rates of surgical treatments as well as the odds of complications 3 . We found that the rate of intestinal necrosis was significantly higher in younger children, which is consistent with our previous findings 17 . However, multivariable analysis indicated that age (OR 1.07; 95% CI 0.92–1.15, P = 0.300) could not independently predict intestinal necrosis in intussusception cases.…”

“…Khorana et al (9) reported that duration of symptoms >72 h was one of the predictors of failed non-surgery reduction (9). Similarly, Huang et al (16) demonstrated that duration of symptoms was the independent risk factor for surgical reduction of intussusceptions. In this study, we also found that duration of symptoms was an independent predictor for surgical intervention after hydrostatic reduction.…”

“…Persistent GEI can cause blood flow obstruction and subsequent complications such as Mallory-Weiss syndrome or esophageal perforation [ 1 ]. While there have been no relevant studies carried out on patients with GEI, a study of patients with bowel intussusception who required surgery for reduction suggested that patients with intestinal necrosis have significantly longer durations before reduction compared with corresponding patients without intestinal necrosis [ 11 ]. Thus, an immediate reduction is essential.…”
