Weight-for-Age Percentile as a Pediatric Predictor of Emergency Department Outcome

Abstract: This study is a retrospective cohort study that examines the association between weight-for-age percentile and pediatric admission incidence from the emergency department (ED) for all diagnoses. The charts of 1432 pediatric patients under 18 years with ED visits from 2013 to 2015 at a tertiary children’s hospital were reviewed. Analyses of subject age/weight stratifications were performed, along with ED disposition, reason for visit, and Emergency Severity Index (ESI). Multivariable logistic regression models … Show more

“…Obesity was therefore defined as a body weight percentile ≥ 95% for age. Although we are aware of the limitations inherited in this imperfect parameter, using weight per age percentile as a nutritional state indicator is a common practice in ERs 25 . Moreover, there is a correlation between body weight percentile ≥ 95% and BMI ≥ 95% for age 26 .…”

“…Studi mengenai peran status gizi pasien anak terhadap luaran setelah kunjungan rawat darurat masih terbatas. Penelitian Naik dkk 19 melaporkan bahwa persentil berat badan berdasarkan usia berdampak secara signifikan terhadap risiko rawat inap pada pasien anak yang berkunjung ke ruang gawat darurat, terutama pada kelompok usia <13 tahun. Pasien anak dengan persentil berat badan dan usia yang rendah merupakan prediktor yang signifikan terhadap risiko rawat inap.…”

“…Dengan demikian, pasien anak dengan berat badan rendah yang datang ke ruang gawat darurat memerlukan perhatian lebih dan berisiko tinggi untuk dirawat inap. 19 Penelitian lainnya oleh Wyrick dkk 20 melaporkan bahwa pasien anak di ruang gawat darurat dengan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) yang rendah berhubungan dengan tingkat admisi rawat inap yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan pasien anak dengan IMT normal maupun overweight/ obesitas. Studi literatur melaporkan bahwa pasien anak dengan berat badan lebih tidak berhubungan terhadap peningkatan risiko rawat inap karena usia pasien anak dan durasi berkembangnya komorbiditas obesitas belum cukup panjang untuk meningkatkan risiko rawat inap, seperti pada pasien dewasa.…”
