Surgically treated acute acalculous cholecystitis in critically ill patientsLaurila, J. (Jouko) 16 May 2006 (has links)
Abstract
Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is an insidious and increasingly recognized complication of critical illness, whose pathogenesis is poorly understood and clinical picture obscure. Diagnosis is difficult and there is no consensus on treatment.
The medical records of all ICU patients who had undergone open cholecystectomy due to AAC during the years 2000–2001 and 2003–2004 were examined for clinical and organ failure data. The indication for open cholecystectomy was a suspicion of AAC based on clinical signs and symptoms of sepsis or deteriorating multiple organ dysfunction without other obvious foci and/or radiological (computed tomography or ultrasound) findings indicative of cholecystitis.
A total of 73 patients had operatively treated AAC during the study periods, giving an incidence of 0.9% of all admissions (73/8184) and an incidence of 6.7% among the long-stayers (ICUstay >5 days). The hospital mortality of these patients was 43%. Infection was the most common admission diagnosis followed by cardiovascular surgery. The patients were severely ill, the mean (SD) APACHE II score being 25.5 (6.4) and the mean (SD) SOFA score 10.2 (3.5) on admission. In those patients who had AAC as the only intra-abdominal complication of multiple organ dysfunction, cholecystectomy was followed by a remarkable improvement of individual and total SOFA scores by the seventh postoperative day.
The AAC gallbladders were histologically and immunohistologically compared to normal gallbladders and to gallbladders of patients with acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC). The ACC patients were admitted into hospital because of primary acute gallbladder disease, were treated on a normal ward and did not have severe sepsis or multiple organ dysfunction. The typical histopathological features of AAC (34 cases) in the gallbladder wall were bile infiltration, lymphatic dilatation and leucocyte margination of blood vessels, while epithelial degeneration and defects, widespread occurrence of inflammatory cells and extensive and deep muscle layer necrosis were typical features of ACC (28 cases).
Tight junction proteins (claudin-1, -2, -3, -4, occludin, ZO-1 and E-cadherin) were uniformly expressed in normal gallbladder epithelium, with the exception of claudin-2, which was present in less than half of the cells. In AAC, the expression of cytoplasmic occludin and claudin-1 was decreased compared to control group. In ACC, the expression of claudin-2 was increased, but the expression of claudin-1, -3 and -4, occludin and ZO-1 was decreased compared to normal or AAC gallbladders.
In conclusion, AAC is associated with severe illness, infection, long intensive care unit stay and deteriorating multiple organ dysfunction. Open cholecystectomy is one important contributing factor to reverse the course of multiple organ dysfunction in these patients. Histological and immunohistological studies suggest that AAC is a manifestation of systemic inflammatory disease, while ACC is a local inflammatory and often infectious disease.

Transfusions de globules rouges en néonatologie et syndrome de défaillance multiviscérale aiguëVilleneuve, Andréanne 04 1900 (has links)
Le niveau d’hémoglobine (Hb) d’un nouveau-né diminue dans les premiers mois de vie. Cette
anémie dite physiologique est plus sévère chez les nourrissons admis aux soins intensifs
néonataux (SIN), et ceux-ci nécessitent souvent une transfusion sanguine. En néonatalogie, les
indications de transfuser sont controversées et les pratiques transfusionnelles sont très
variables. Pour mieux comprendre ces pratiques, nous avons mené l’étude prospective
«Epidemiology and determinants of red blood cells transfusion in a neonatal intensive care
unit: a cohort study». 13.4% des patients consécutifs admis aux SIN pendant l’étude ont reçu
au moins une transfusion sanguine. Les prématurés nés à moins de 28 semaines d’âge
gestationnel ont reçu la majorité des transfusions (62.2%) mais les nourrissons à terme admis
aux SIN sont aussi fréquemment transfusés (4.9% des transfusions). Les principales
justifications évoquées par les cliniciens prescrivant des transfusions sont un niveau bas d’Hb,
la maladie de base et le désir d’améliorer l’oxygénation des organes. Notre étude a confirmé
une grande variabilité du seuil d’Hb justifiant une transfusion, s’étendant de 62 à 137 g/L.
Le syndrome de défaillance multiviscérale (SDMV), défini par l’observation simultanée d’au
moins deux dysfonctions d’organes, est un facteur important de mortalité-morbidité chez les
enfants traités en soins intensifs pédiatriques. L’association entre SDMV et transfusions est
bien décrite dans cette population. Deux listes de critères diagnostiques du SDMV pédiatrique
sont utilisées dans la littérature médicale : celles de Proulx et de Goldstein. Nous avons
entrepris l’étude de cohorte prospective «Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in critically ill
children : clinical value of two lists of diagnostic criteria» dans le but de valider et de
comparer leur valeur diagnostique respective. Nos résultats ont démontré que l’épidémiologie
du SDMV varie selon la définition utilisée : l’incidence était de 21.4% vs. 37.3% selon les
critères de Proulx et de Goldstein respectivement. Les deux listes de critères diagnostiques
ont une bonne reproductibilité inter- et intra-observateur; celle de Proulx est cependant
associée à une plus haute mortalité à 90 jours (17.8% vs. 11.5%, p = 0.038). Le SDMV a été
décrit chez les nouveau-nés en SIN en utilisant le NEOMOD, un score adapté à cette
population. Avec une meilleure caractérisation, le SDMV deviendrait un critère de jugement
intéressant pour les essais cliniques randomisés en médecine transfusionnelle en néonatologie. / In the first few months of life, the level of hemoglobin (Hb) in the newborn normally
decreases. This physiological anemia is more severe in neonates admitted to a neonatal
intensive care unit (NICU), who frequently require a red blood cells (RBC) transfusion. In
neonatal medicine, the indications for transfusion are controversial and practices are highly
variable. To better understand those practices, we conducted the prospective study:
«Epidemiology and determinants of red blood cells transfusion in a neonatal intensive care
unit: a cohort study». Among the patients consecutively admitted to NICU during the study
period, 13.4% received at least one RBC transfusion. Although premature babies born at less
than 28 weeks gestation received the majority of transfusions (62.2%), term neonates admitted
to NICU were also frequently transfused (4.9% of transfusions). The main justifications for
giving a RBC transfusion were: low Hb level, underlying illness and to improve oxygen
delivery. We also observed a wide range of Hb thresholds that triggered a decision to transfuse
(from 62 to 137 g/L).
The multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), which is defined as the simultaneous
dysfunction of at least two organs or systems, is highly associated with mortality and
morbidity in critically ill children. The association between MODS and transfusions is also
well described in this population. Two sets of criteria of pediatric MODS are currently used in
the medical literature: one by Proulx, and another by Goldstein. We did the prospective cohort
study «Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in critically ill children : clinical value of two
lists of diagnostic criteria» to validate and compare the diagnostic value of those two
definitions of MODS. We observed that the epidemiology of MODS varies according to which
list of criteria is used: the incidence was 21.4% vs. 37.3% with Proulx and Goldstein criteria,
respectively. Both sets of criteria have a good inter- and intra-rater reproducibility. The
diagnostic of MODS according to Proulx criteria is associated with higher 90-days mortality
(17.8% vs. 11.5%, p = 0.038). MODS is also described in neonates, using a score adapted to
this population, the NEOMOD. Neonatal MODS represents an interesting outcome measure in
clinical trials in neonatal transfusion medicine. However, prior to that, it needs to be better
characterized.

Objetivo geral: estudar a síndrome da resposta inflamatória sistêmica após a cirurgia cardíaca com circulação extracorpórea (CEC) e a sua relação com marcadores inflamatórios. Objetivos específicos: 1) avaliar a prevalência de síndrome da resposta inflamatória sistêmica (SIRS), sepse e disfunção de múltiplos órgãos (DMO); 2) avaliar a relação da SIRS, sepse e DMO com certos biomarcadores; 3) avaliar a relação desses biomarcadores com mortalidade no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca com CEC em crianças; 4) estudar a cinética do soluble triggering receptor on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1), procalcitonina (PCT), proteína C reativa (PCR) neste grupo; 5) comparar os níveis séricos de sTREM-1, PCT e PCR entre pacientes sépticos e com SIRS. Desenho: estudo de coorte retrospectivo e prospectivo. Setting: unidade de terapia intensiva cardiológica (UTIC). Medidas: saturação venosa central de oxigênio, lactato arterial, glicose sérica, dosagem de troponina I, contagem total de leucócitos no sangue periférico, PCR, presença de SIRS, sepse e DMO foram avaliados nos cinco primeiros dias de pós-operatório na coorte retrospectiva. Na coorte prospectiva as amostras foram colhidas no préoperatório, na chegada à unidade de tratamento intensivo, no primeiro (1PO), segundo (2PO) e terceiro (3PO) dias de pós-operatório para dosagem específica de sTREM-1, PCT e PCR. Resultados: A coorte retrospectiva incluiu 121 pacientes com mediana de idade de 9 meses [IQ 4-75], de peso de 7Kg [IQ 4,3-14,7], de tempo de circulação extracorpórea de 56 minutos [IQ 43-81] e de clampeamento aórtico de 27 minutos [IQ15,2-51,7]. A mediana de tempo de internação em UTIC foi de 4 dias [IQ 2-8]. Os defeitos septais foram os mais frequentemente encontrados em 48% (58), seguidos de Tetralogia de Fallot. As taxas de mortalidade e de sepse neste grupo foram de 7,4% (9) e 27,7% (33) respectivamente. SIRS esteve presente em 50,8% (61) e DMO em 22,3% (27) na chegada da UTI. A presença de SIRS não infecciosa e DMO não relacionada à sepse foram mais frequentes em todos os dias de pósoperatório. O risco de mortalidade foi avaliado e sepse no 1PO teve o maior odds ratio (OR) = 31,71 (IC95: 2,6-393,8), seguido da presença de disfunção renal no 3PO, OR = 14,1 (IC95: 2,9 -66,6). A glicose sérica nas 6 horas de PO com OR = 2,4 (IC95: 1,03-5,7), a saturação venosa central de oxigênio do 1PO com OR = 12,2 ( IC95: 2,6-55,7) bem como o lactato arterial do 1PO com OR = 24,1 ( IC95: 4-112) mostraram-se com melhores poderes discriminativos para sepse, DMO e mortalidade respectivamente. Na coorte prospectiva foram incluídos 31 pacientes com medianas de idade de 11 meses [IQ 6-42], de peso de 8,1Kg [IQ 6-14], de tempo de CEC de 58 minutos [IQ 45-84], de clampeamento de 32 minutos [IQ 32-32] e de temperatura durante a CEC de 31ºC. A mediana de tempo de internação na UTI foi de 7 dias [IQ2-8]. Os defeitos septais foram os mais frequentes em 54,8% (17), seguidos da Tetralogia de Fallot. Ocorreram 6,5% (2) de óbitos e 12,7%(4) de sepse. A SIRS esteve presente em 45,8%(14) na chegada da UTIC. Observou-se elevação significativa dos níveis séricos de sTREM-1, PCT e PCR após a CEC. Os níveis medianos de sTREM-1 e da PCR estão acima dos níveis normais em todos os momentos avaliados, sendo a mediana do sTREM-1 de 143,6 pg/ml no préoperatório; de 96,9 pg/ml após a CEC; de 140,2 pg/ml após 24h da CEC; de 191,5 pg/ml após 48h (p < 0,05); e, de 193,3 pg/ml após 72h. Os níveis medianos de PCT estão acima dos normais somente no 3PO, considerando-se um ponto de corte de 0,5 ng/ml. Comparando-se os níveis medianos de PCR, PCT e sTREM-1 entre sépticos e não infectados não houve diferença significativa. Conclusões: Durante a primeira semana de pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca com CEC em crianças a presença de febre/hipotermia bem como de leucocitose está mais frequentemente relacionada à SIRS não infecciosa do que à sepse. Existe associação de mortalidade com sepse, síndrome de baixo débito e disfunção cardíaca, respiratória e renal tardias neste grupo. Os achados em relação à cinética da PCR e PCT confirmam os dados da literatura: diminuição dos níveis em 48h pós CEC. Os achados são originais em relação à cinética do sTREM-1. Não houve diferença nos niveis séricos de sTREM-1, PCT e PCR entre sépticos e não infectados, entretanto novos estudos são necessários devido à amostra pequena. / Main objective: To study the systemic inflammatory response syndrome after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) and its relationship with inflammatory markers. Secondary objectives: 1) To assess the prevalence of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS); 2) to evaluate the relationship of systemic response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction with certain biomarkers, 3) to evaluate the relationship of these biomarkers with mortality after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), 4) to study the kinetics of sTREM-1, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) in this group 5) compare serum sTREM-11, PCT and CRP in patients with sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Design: prospective and retrospective cohort. Setting: cardiac pediatric intensive care unit. Measurements: venous oxygen saturation (SvcO2), arterial lactate, glucose, troponin, total leukocyte count and C reactive protein, presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) were evaluated in the first 5 post-operative days. The samples of the prospective study were taken in the pre-operative period, on arrival in the intensive care unit, and on the first (POD1), second and third post-operative days for dosing CRP, PCT and sTREM-1. Main results: The retrospective cohort included 121 patients with a median age of 9 months [IQR: 4-75] ,median weight of 7Kg [IQR: 4.3-14.7] , median CPB time of 56 minutes [IQR:43-81], median clamping time of 27 minutes [IQR: 15.28-51.75]. The median ICU stay was 4 days [IQR:2-8]. Septal defects were the most frequent, reaching 48% (58), followed by Tetralogy of Fallot. Mortality and sepsis rate was 7.4% (9) and 27.7% (33) respectively. SIRS was present in 50.8% (61) and MODS in 22.3% (27) at the ICU arrival. The presences of non-infectious SIRS and of non-sepsis-related MODS were also more frequent throughout the postoperative days. Mmortality risk was assessed, and sepsis in the first postoperative day had the highest odds ratio (OR) = 31.71 [CI95: 6 to 393.8], followed by renal dysfunction on the third day, OR = 14.1 [CI95: 2.9 to 66.6]. The 6hPO glucose with OR = 2.4 [CI95: 1.03 to 5.7], the SvcO2 POD1 with OR = 12.2 [CI95: 2.6 to 55.7] and POD1 lactate with OR = 24.1 [CI95: 4-112] showed better discriminative power for sepsis, MODS and mortality respectively. The prospective cohort included 31 patients with a median age of 11 months [IQR: 6-42], median weight of 8.1Kg [IQR: 6-14], median CPB time of 58 minutes [IQR: 45-84], median clamping time of 31 minute [IQR: 21-50] and median temperature of 32°C during CPB [IQR: 32-32]. The median ICU stay was 7 days [IQR: 2- 9]. Septal defects were the most frequent, at 54.8% (17), followed by Tetralogy of Fallot. Mortality rate was 6.5% (2) and incidence of sepsis was 12.7% (4). Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was present in 45.8% (14) of cases upon arrival at the ICU. We observed significant elevation of serum sTREM-1, PCT and CRP after CPB. The median levels of sTREM-1 and CRP levels are above normal levels at all time points evaluated with a sTREM-1 median of 143.6 pg/ml preoperatively, of 96.9 pg / ml after CPB, of 140.2 pg/ml after 24 hours of CPB, of 191.5 pg/ml after 48 h (p < 0.05) and 193.3 pg/ml after 72 h. Median PCT levels are above normal only in 3PO, considering a cutoff of 0.5 ng/ml. Comparing the median serum levels of CRP, PCT and sTREM-1 between septic and uninfected no significant difference was found. Conclusions: During the first week post-cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in children the presence of fever / hypothermia and leukocytosis is more often related to non-infectious SIRS than sepsis. There is an association of mortality with sepsis, low output syndrome and cardiac dysfunction, and later renal and respiratory dysfunction in this group. The findings in relation to the kinetics of CRP and PCT confirm preview literature: decreased levels in 48 hours after CPB. The findings are unique compared to the kinetics of sTREM-1. There was no difference in serum levels of sTREM-1, PCT and CRP between septic and uninfected, however further studies are needed due to the small sample.

O risco de mortalidade foi avaliado e sepse no 1PO teve o maior odds ratio (OR) = 31,71 (IC95: 2,6-393,8), seguido da presença de disfunção renal no 3PO, OR = 14,1 (IC95: 2,9 -66,6). A glicose sérica nas 6 horas de PO com OR = 2,4 (IC95: 1,03-5,7), a saturação venosa central de oxigênio do 1PO com OR = 12,2 ( IC95: 2,6-55,7) bem como o lactato arterial do 1PO com OR = 24,1 ( IC95: 4-112) mostraram-se com melhores poderes discriminativos para sepse, DMO e mortalidade respectivamente. Na coorte prospectiva foram incluídos 31 pacientes com medianas de idade de 11 meses [IQ 6-42], de peso de 8,1Kg [IQ 6-14], de tempo de CEC de 58 minutos [IQ 45-84], de clampeamento de 32 minutos [IQ 32-32] e de temperatura durante a CEC de 31ºC. A mediana de tempo de internação na UTI foi de 7 dias [IQ2-8]. Os defeitos septais foram os mais frequentes em 54,8% (17), seguidos da Tetralogia de Fallot. Ocorreram 6,5% (2) de óbitos e 12,7%(4) de sepse. A SIRS esteve presente em 45,8%(14) na chegada da UTIC. Observou-se elevação significativa dos níveis séricos de sTREM-1, PCT e PCR após a CEC. Os níveis medianos de sTREM-1 e da PCR estão acima dos níveis normais em todos os momentos avaliados, sendo a mediana do sTREM-1 de 143,6 pg/ml no préoperatório; de 96,9 pg/ml após a CEC; de 140,2 pg/ml após 24h da CEC; de 191,5 pg/ml após 48h (p < 0,05); e, de 193,3 pg/ml após 72h. Os níveis medianos de PCT estão acima dos normais somente no 3PO, considerando-se um ponto de corte de 0,5 ng/ml. Comparando-se os níveis medianos de PCR, PCT e sTREM-1 entre sépticos e não infectados não houve diferença significativa. Conclusões: Durante a primeira semana de pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca com CEC em crianças a presença de febre/hipotermia bem como de leucocitose está mais frequentemente relacionada à SIRS não infecciosa do que à sepse. Existe associação de mortalidade com sepse, síndrome de baixo débito e disfunção cardíaca, respiratória e renal tardias neste grupo. Os achados em relação à cinética da PCR e PCT confirmam os dados da literatura: diminuição dos níveis em 48h pós CEC. Os achados são originais em relação à cinética do sTREM-1. Não houve diferença nos niveis séricos de sTREM-1, PCT e PCR entre sépticos e não infectados, entretanto novos estudos são necessários devido à amostra pequena. / Main objective: To study the systemic inflammatory response syndrome after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) and its relationship with inflammatory markers. Secondary objectives: 1) To assess the prevalence of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS); 2) to evaluate the relationship of systemic response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction with certain biomarkers, 3) to evaluate the relationship of these biomarkers with mortality after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), 4) to study the kinetics of sTREM-1, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) in this group 5) compare serum sTREM-11, PCT and CRP in patients with sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Design: prospective and retrospective cohort. Setting: cardiac pediatric intensive care unit. Measurements: venous oxygen saturation (SvcO2), arterial lactate, glucose, troponin, total leukocyte count and C reactive protein, presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) were evaluated in the first 5 post-operative days. The samples of the prospective study were taken in the pre-operative period, on arrival in the intensive care unit, and on the first (POD1), second and third post-operative days for dosing CRP, PCT and sTREM-1. Main results: The retrospective cohort included 121 patients with a median age of 9 months [IQR: 4-75] ,median weight of 7Kg [IQR: 4.3-14.7] , median CPB time of 56 minutes [IQR:43-81], median clamping time of 27 minutes [IQR: 15.28-51.75]. The median ICU stay was 4 days [IQR:2-8]. Septal defects were the most frequent, reaching 48% (58), followed by Tetralogy of Fallot. Mortality and sepsis rate was 7.4% (9) and 27.7% (33) respectively. SIRS was present in 50.8% (61) and MODS in 22.3% (27) at the ICU arrival. The presences of non-infectious SIRS and of non-sepsis-related MODS were also more frequent throughout the postoperative days. Mmortality risk was assessed, and sepsis in the first postoperative day had the highest odds ratio (OR) = 31.71 [CI95: 6 to 393.8], followed by renal dysfunction on the third day, OR = 14.1 [CI95: 2.9 to 66.6]. The 6hPO glucose with OR = 2.4 [CI95: 1.03 to 5.7], the SvcO2 POD1 with OR = 12.2 [CI95: 2.6 to 55.7] and POD1 lactate with OR = 24.1 [CI95: 4-112] showed better discriminative power for sepsis, MODS and mortality respectively. The prospective cohort included 31 patients with a median age of 11 months [IQR: 6-42], median weight of 8.1Kg [IQR: 6-14], median CPB time of 58 minutes [IQR: 45-84], median clamping time of 31 minute [IQR: 21-50] and median temperature of 32°C during CPB [IQR: 32-32]. The median ICU stay was 7 days [IQR: 2- 9]. Septal defects were the most frequent, at 54.8% (17), followed by Tetralogy of Fallot. Mortality rate was 6.5% (2) and incidence of sepsis was 12.7% (4). Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was present in 45.8% (14) of cases upon arrival at the ICU. We observed significant elevation of serum sTREM-1, PCT and CRP after CPB. The median levels of sTREM-1 and CRP levels are above normal levels at all time points evaluated with a sTREM-1 median of 143.6 pg/ml preoperatively, of 96.9 pg / ml after CPB, of 140.2 pg/ml after 24 hours of CPB, of 191.5 pg/ml after 48 h (p < 0.05) and 193.3 pg/ml after 72 h. Median PCT levels are above normal only in 3PO, considering a cutoff of 0.5 ng/ml. Comparing the median serum levels of CRP, PCT and sTREM-1 between septic and uninfected no significant difference was found. Conclusions: During the first week post-cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in children the presence of fever / hypothermia and leukocytosis is more often related to non-infectious SIRS than sepsis. There is an association of mortality with sepsis, low output syndrome and cardiac dysfunction, and later renal and respiratory dysfunction in this group. The findings in relation to the kinetics of CRP and PCT confirm preview literature: decreased levels in 48 hours after CPB. The findings are unique compared to the kinetics of sTREM-1. There was no difference in serum levels of sTREM-1, PCT and CRP between septic and uninfected, however further studies are needed due to the small sample.

Comparaison entre deux stratégies transfusionnellles en postopératoire de chirurgie cardiaque pédiatriqueWillems, Ariane 08 1900 (has links)
L’anémie est fréquente chez les patients pédiatriques en postopératoire de chirurgie cardiaque. Malgré le nombre important de patients transfusés, le taux d’hémoglobine (Hb) pour lequel les bénéfices surpassent les risques est inconnu chez ces patients. Récemment, Lacroix et al. ont démontré qu’une stratégie transfusionnelle restrictive n’était pas inférieure à une stratégie libérale en ce qui concerne le développement ou la progression du syndrome de défaillance multiviscérale (SDMV) et la mortalité chez les patients de soins intensifs pédiatriques (SIP).Devant le manque d’évidence, une analyse de sous-groupes des patients en postopératoire de chirurgie cardiaque de l’étude Transfusion Requirements in Pediatric Intensive Care (TRIPICU) a été réalisée. L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer l’impact d’une stratégie transfusionnelle restrictive comparée à une stratégie libérale sur l’acquisition ou l’aggravation du syndrome de défaillance multiviscérale (SDMV) chez les enfants en postopératoire de chirurgie cardiaque. Cette étude n’a pas démontré de différences statistiquement, ni cliniquement significatives du nombre de patients ayant acquis ou aggravés un SDMV, ni des issues secondaires entre les stratégies transfusionnelles restrictive et libérale. L’analyse de sous-groupes permet de générer une hypothèse de recherche et les résultats devraient être confirmés par un essai randomisé contrôlé. / Anemia is frequent in pediatric patients following cardiac surgery. Despite frequent transfusions, the optimal hemoglobin threshold where benefits surpass risks is still unknown for these patients. Recently, Lacroix et al. showed that a restrictive transfusion strategy was not inferior to a liberal strategy concerning the development or progression of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and mortality in pediatric intensive care patients. In the absence of evidence, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of a restrictive versus a liberal transfusion strategy on new or progressive multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in children following cardiac surgery. We conducted a subgroup analysis of the postoperative cardiac surgery patients of the Transfusion Requirements in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (TRIPICU) study. Our study showed no statistically and clinically significant differences in the number of patients who acquired or worsened MODS, nor secondary outcomes between a restrictive and a liberal transfusion strategy. This subgroup analysis generates a research hypothesis that should be confirmed by a randomized controlled trial.
