Methods: the selected time for the study was from December 2019 to June 2021. A total of 181 children in the intensive care unit were used as the research objects. They were scored by the pediatric critical case score (PCIS), and then grouped according to the scoring results. , those with a score greater than 90 points were regarded as group A, those with a score between 70 and 89 points, and those with a score of less than 70 points in group B as group C. Then, the scores, combined functional failure, mechanical ventilation and other related indicators of the children in each group were counted. Results: there was no death in group A;The number of deaths in group B was 3, and the incidence was 4.76%;The number of deaths in group C was 6, and the incidence rate was 13.04%. The mortality in group A was the lowest (P < 0.05). According to the statistics of organ injury, in group A, there were 3 patients without organ failure, 63 patients with one organ failure, 6 patients with two organ failures, accounting for 8.33%;The number of people in group B with more than 3 functional failures was 3, and there were 3 functional failures in group B;In group C, there were more than 2 organ failures, 7 in 2, 25 in 3 and 14 in more than 3. Comparative data in group A, the situation of functional failure was the lightest and the number of people with multiple failures was the least. With the decrease of score, the situation of failure continued to worsen (P < 0.05). According to the statistics of children's mechanical ventilation, in group A, there were 5 (6.94%) in 1 ~ 2D, 3 (4.17%) in 3 ~ 4D and 1 (1.39%) in 5 ~ 6D;In group B, there were 16 (25.40%) in 1 ~ 2D, 13 (20.63%) in 3 ~ 4D, 8 (12.70%) in 5 ~ 6D and 5 (7.94%) in ≥ 7d;In group C, there were 25 (54.35%) in 1 ~ 2D, 17 (36.96%) in 3 ~ 4D, 10 (21.74%) in 5 ~ 6D and 7 (15.22%) in ≥ 7d.The patients with lower PCIS score, the higher the time and utilization rate of mechanical ventilation, P < 0.05, the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: the pediatric critical case scoring system (PCIS) has good applicability, which can better help the judgment of critical diseases and improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment.展开更多

Preliminary comparisons with seasonal influenza suggest that pandemic 2009 influenza A （HIN1） disproportionately affects younger ages and causes generally mild disease. To characterize disease progress, comorbidities, and treatment outcomes among consecutive severe and critically ill patients in a hospital served as a reference center for the care of patients with HIN1 in Shanghai, China.Methods A retrospective study on 62 severe and critically ill patients with 2009 influenza A （H1N1） was conducted in Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center.
