Abstract

Pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is a severe disease with a high mortality rate. Diagnosis and  treatment guidelines have been improved specifically for  pediatric patients under the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury  Consensus Conference (PALICC), which are internationally  recognized and followed. This retrospective study analyzed  clinical data and mortality risk factors in PARDS patients  from January 1st, 2016, to December 31st, 2019. A total 53  PARDS patients were identified, with 32 (60.4%) being male.  The main cause of PARDS was direct lung injury in 47  patients (88.7%) and the 5-year average mortality rate  within 28 days was 52.8%. Factors which significantly  associated with mortality included disease severity, as  measured by OI and OSI, PRISM III scores, PELOD-2 scores,  organ failure (especially disseminated intravascular  coagulation and septic shock), blood lactate levels and the  amount of vasoactive medication required. The study  concludes that the mortality rate for PARDS patients in this  hospital is high, like the other developing countries. The  patient who encounters the risk factors should receive close monitoring or consideration for additional treatment  options.
