动态监测降钙素原对重症社区获得性肺炎患儿抗感染治疗的临床研究

目的 评估动态监测血清降钙素原对儿童重症社区获得性肺炎抗感染治疗方案的指导意义和应用价值。方法 选取2019年1月—2022年6月在南京医科大学附属儿童医院重症医学科治疗的重症社区获得性肺炎患儿共150例，根据是否进行血清降钙素原动态监测分为观察组65例和对照组85例。对照组采用常规抗菌药物治疗方案，观察组结合PCT动态监测结果调整用药方案。比较2组患儿抗菌药物使用率、使用疗程、累计抗菌药物消耗数、药物选择、退热时间、ICU滞留时间、出院转归等。结果 对照组人均累计抗菌药物消耗数为3.50(1.92,6.20),而观察组明显低于对照组，仅为2.13(1.25,4.95),P<0.05;观察组的抗菌药物疗程较对照组约缩短1 d7.0(5.0,10.0)d vs. 8.0(5.0,11.0) d,P<0.05];对照组的抗菌药物总费用为1 659.0(1 036.3,3 263.2)元，显著高于观察组762.2(243.3,1 423.8)元，P<0.01];观察组的特殊级抗菌药物使用率低于对照组27.3%(18/66) vs. 51.8%(44/85),P<...

Clinical study of dynamic monitoring of serum procalcitonin for anti-infection treatment in children with severe community acquired pneumonia

  Objective  To explore the guiding significance and application value of dynamic monitoring of serum procalcitonin for anti-infection therapy in children with severe community acquired pneumonia.  Methods  A total of 150 children with severe community acquired pneumonia treated in Nanjing Children ' s Hospital from January 2019 to June 2022 were enrolled. They were assigned into observation group (65 cases) and control group (85 cases) according to whether dynamic procalcitonin monitoring was performed. The control group was treated with conventional antibacterial drugs, while the observation group was adjusted with the results of PCT dynamic monitoring. The use rate of antibiotics, the course of use, the cumulative consumption of antibiotics, the choice of drugs, the duration of fever, the time of ICU stay, and the outcome of discharge were compared between the two groups.  Results  The cumulative consumption of antibacterial drugs per capita in the control group was 3.50 (1.92, 6.20), while it was significantly lower than that in the observation group 2.13 (1.25, 4.95), P < 0.05]. The duration of antimicrobial treatment in the observation group was about 1 day shorter than that in the control group 7.0 (5.0, 10.0) days vs. 8.0 (5.0, 11.0) days, P < 0.05]. The total cost of antimicrobial drugs in the control group was 1 659.0 (1 036.3, 3 263.2) yuan, which was significantly higher than that in the observation group 762.2 (243.3, 1 423.8) yuan, P < 0.01]. The use rate of special grade antibiotics in the observation group was lower than that in the control group 27.3% (18/66) vs. 51.8% (44/85), P < 0.01]. There was no difference in the duration of fever, the time of ICU stay, the outcome of discharge between the two groups (P>0.05).  Conclusion  Dynamic monitoring of serum PCT is helpful to the rational use of antibiotics in children with severe community-acquired pneumonia, especially for the use, degradation and discontinuation of special grade antibiotics.
