Background: Tacrolimus is an essential immunosuppressive medication in paediatric patients' post-liver transplantation. Achieving tacrolimus target concentration in early post-transplantation is crucial to minimise the risk of acute rejection; however, this is challenging due to inter- and intra-patient variability in tacrolimus metabolism and clearance. Therefore, our study aims to describe tacrolimus trough concentration variability and pharmacokinetics in paediatric post-liver transplantation during the first two weeks post-transplantation.

Method: This retrospective multicentre observational study included paediatric patients post-liver transplantation. Post-operative data was collected within the initial 14 days using electronic health records, including daily tacrolimus doses, measured trough concentrations, graft data, surgical data, and documented acute rejection. Pharmacokinetic analysis was completed using the Monolix software. We used the empirical Bayesian estimates of clearance and volume of distribution for covariate testing to assess possible correlations. We performed a stepwise regression analysis (alpha = 0.05).

Results: Ninety-one paediatric patients were included in the study, with a mean age of 4.1 years (SD = 4.6). The mean graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) was 3% (SD = 6). The vast majority of the patients received the liver from living donors (n = 84, 92.3%). The average time needed to reach therapeutic concentration was 4.6 (SD = 2.8) days. The initial clearance (Clini) was very low at baseline (0.012 L/h), then increased dramatically to 9.84 L/h at 14 days post-transplantation. The clearance appeared to be time-dependent, and the time needed to reach 50% of maximum clearance was five days post-transplantation. The covariates that significantly affected clearance included bodyweight and aspartate transaminase, while the only significant covariate for volume of distribution was bodyweight.

Conclusion: Tacrolimus is a drug with high intra- and interindividual variability, making dosing challenging in the paediatric liver transplantation population. Prospective studies with more intensive sampling are needed to address the time-dependent changes in clearance, which will aid in establishing the optimal dosing regimens in this population.

Background: Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is a tocolytic agent used to treat gestational hypertension and to prevent preterm labor. Neonatal hypocalcemia is a well-known side effect of maternal MgSO4 use. Cases of neonatal hypercalcemia after maternal MgSO4 have been reported. Little is known about neonatal hypercalcemia following maternal MgSO4 therapy. We investigated the frequency and risk factors of neonatal hypercalcemia in this setting.

Methods: This case-control study investigated serum calcium in neonates born within 24 h after maternal MgSO4 administration. We reviewed the electronic medical records of Saitama City Hospital for pregnant women who were treated with MgSO4 between January 2016 and December 2021. There were 504 pregnant women that were treated with MgSO4. We enrolled 257 neonates. Hypercalcemia was defined as serum albumin-corrected calcium greater than 2.74 mmol/L (11 mg/dL). We collected the perinatal information from the mothers and neonates.

Results: Twenty-one neonates (8%) had hypercalcemia at birth (H group). Umbilical arterial ionized calcium, neonatal plasma ionized calcium, and total serum calcium were significantly higher in H group than in N group. Neonatal serum albumin, on the other hand, was lower in H group than in N group. Neonates in H group were born earlier (28.4 ± 3.1 vs. 32.4 ± 3.1 wk, p < 0.001) and more likely to be born to mothers with pathological chorioamnionitis (91.0% vs. 12.7%, p < 0.001) than neonates who were normocalcemic (N group). Serum alkaline phosphatase was lower in H group (661 ± 276 vs. 816 ± 265 U/L, p = 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that earlier gestational age and chorioamnionitis were significant risk factors.

Conclusion: Hypercalcemia after maternal MgSO4 was seen in 8% of neonates. Maternal chorioamnionitis and earlier gestational age were associated with this condition.

Background: Pulmonary air leak may cause serious complications and mortality in neonates, especially preterm infants. Its incidence and perinatal risk factors in preterm infants might differ from those in term infants. We investigated the incidence, perinatal risk factors and morbidities associated with pulmonary air leak in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) preterm infants in Taiwan.

Methods: Data from 2011 to 2015 from the nationwide multihospital registry of the Taiwan Premature Infant Follow-up Network were analyzed. Preterm infants with pulmonary air leak, including pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum, were enrolled. Data on perinatal characteristics, the course of resuscitation in the delivery room, the management of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and the clinical outcomes of pulmonary air leak were collected and compared between VLBW preterm infants with and without pulmonary air leak.

Results: We included 5906 VLBW preterm infants with a mean gestational age of 28.6 ± 3 weeks and mean birth weight of 1078 ± 284 g. Of them, 379 neonates (6.4%) had pulmonary air leak, with 5.4% and 1% having isolated pneumothorax and isolated pneumomediastinum, respectively. Independent risk factors for pulmonary air leak in VLBW preterm infants were male sex, a 5-min Apgar score <7, and RDS treated with surfactant. VLBW preterm infants who had higher gestational age or received nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) had a lower risk of pulmonary air leak. However, pulmonary air leak was associated with higher rates of severe retinopathy of prematurity, severe intraventricular hemorrhage, chronic lung disease, and mortality.

Conclusions: NCPAP appeared to protect against pulmonary air leak in VLBW preterm infants. Clinicians should be aware of the risk factors for pulmonary air leak in such infants and promptly initiate meticulous ventilation strategies as needed.

Background: Extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants invariably receive multiple antibiotic therapies during hospitalization. However, the causes of high cumulative antibiotic exposure, as well as the impact of such exposure on the outcomes of preterm infants, particularly long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, remain to be elucidated. Furthermore, the cumulative effects of simultaneous use of multiple antibiotics are often overlooked.

Methods: We included ELBW infants born between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020. The duration of antibiotic therapy was calculated as Days of Therapy (DOT), with each antibiotic administered during the first month of life added cumulatively. The infants were divided into two groups: the low cumulative antibiotic exposure group and the high cumulative antibiotic exposure group.

Results: Of 453 eligible ELBW infants, 358 met the inclusion criteria. Multivariable logistic regression indicated a low birthweight [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.996, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.994, 0.998], chorioamnionitis (aOR 2.195, 95% CI 1.145, 4.210), sepsis (aOR 2.538, 95% CI 1.417, 4.544), and necrotizing enterocolitis (aOR 11.798, 95% CI 2.637, 52.784) as independent factors associated with high cumulative antibiotic exposure. These infants were associated with poor short-term outcomes, including mortality (aOR 9.031, 95% CI 2.433, 33.448), moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (aOR 2.895, 95% CI 1.471, 5.699), and retinopathy of prematurity necessitating therapy (aOR 2.503, 95% CI 1.363, 4.597). Although infants in the low cumulative antibiotic exposure group had higher neurodevelopmental scores across all three BSID-III domains at each corrected age compared to those in the high cumulative antibiotic exposure group, the cumulative antibiotic exposure did not significantly influence the score changes in the linear mixed-effects models.

Conclusions: High cumulative antibiotic exposure in early life is associated with adverse short-term outcomes in ELBW infants. The impacts on long-term neurodevelopmental require further investigation. When prescribing antibiotics to infants, caution should be exercised to avoid unnecessary exposure.

背景:极低出生体重儿(ELBW)在住院期间必然会接受多种抗生素治疗。然而,大量累积抗生素暴露的原因以及这种暴露对早产儿预后,尤其是长期神经发育预后的影响仍有待阐明。此外,同时使用多种抗生素的累积效应往往被忽视:我们纳入了 2016 年 1 月 1 日至 2020 年 12 月 31 日期间出生的 ELBW 婴儿。抗生素治疗持续时间以治疗天数(DOT)计算,出生后第一个月内使用的每种抗生素都累计计算。婴儿被分为两组:抗生素累积接触量低的一组和抗生素累积接触量高的一组:在 453 名符合条件的 ELBW 婴儿中,有 358 名符合纳入标准。多变量逻辑回归表明,低出生体重[调整赔率 (aOR) 0.996,95% 置信区间 (CI) 0.994, 0.998]、绒毛膜羊膜炎(aOR 2.195,95% CI 1.145, 4.210)、败血症(aOR 2.538,95% CI 1.417,4.544)和坏死性小肠结肠炎(aOR 11.798,95% CI 2.637,52.784)是与高累积抗生素暴露相关的独立因素。这些婴儿的短期预后较差,包括死亡率(aOR 9.031,95% CI 2.433,33.448)、中度至重度支气管肺发育不良(aOR 2.895,95% CI 1.471,5.699)和需要治疗的早产儿视网膜病变(aOR 2.503,95% CI 1.363,4.597)。虽然与高累积抗生素暴露组的婴儿相比,低累积抗生素暴露组的婴儿在每个校正年龄段的BSID-III所有三个领域的神经发育评分都较高,但在线性混合效应模型中,累积抗生素暴露对评分变化没有显著影响:结论:生命早期的高累积抗生素暴露与ELBW婴儿的不良短期结果有关。结论:早期大量接触抗生素与 ELBW 婴儿的短期不良后果有关,但对长期神经发育的影响还需要进一步研究。在给婴儿开具抗生素处方时,应谨慎行事,避免不必要的接触。

Background: Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a complication in biliary atresia (BA) children following hepatoportoenterostomy. Liver transplantation (LT) was the definitive treatment of HPS. However, little was known about the risk factors between HPS and mortalities. We aimed to evaluate the role of HPS and the predictors of complications after LT in BA children.

Methods: One hundred and twenty (54 males and 66 females) children with BA receiving LT were retrospectively enrolled. The primary outcome was postoperative biliary/vascular complication rates and the secondary outcome was post-LT mortality rates.

Results: Among 120 BA children receiving LT, six (5%) children were diagnosed with HPS before LT. The overall survival rate of LT in BA children was 80% and the overall survival rate of LT in BA children with and without HPS was 17% and 83%, respectively. Vascular complications and HPS were predictors for poor overall survival rates both in univariate logistic regression analyses (hazard ratio [HR], 11.63 and 5.96; P < 0.0001 and P = 0.001, respectively) and multivariate logistic regression analyses (HR, 10.02 and 4.16; P < 0.0001 and P = 0.007, respectively). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated the predictive role of HPS on poor overall survival rates (P < 0.0001), higher risks of biliary complications (P < 0.0001), and higher risks of jaundice (P < 0.01) post-LT.

Conclusion: The present study comprising children over long-term follow-up revealed that the development of pre-LT HPS had a poor impact on overall survival rates and higher risks of biliary complications in BA children receiving LT.

背景:肝肺综合征(HPS)是胆道闭锁(BA)患儿肝门肠管造口术后的一种并发症。肝移植(LT)是治疗肝肺综合征的最终方法。然而,人们对 HPS 与死亡率之间的风险因素知之甚少。我们的目的是评估HPS的作用以及BA患儿LT术后并发症的预测因素:我们回顾性地纳入了120名(54名男性和66名女性)接受LT治疗的BA患儿。主要结果是术后胆道/血管并发症发生率,次要结果是LT术后死亡率:结果:在接受LT治疗的120名BA患儿中,有6名(5%)患儿在LT治疗前被诊断出患有HPS。BA患儿的LT总存活率为80%,有HPS和无HPS的BA患儿的LT总存活率分别为17%和83%。在单变量逻辑回归分析中,血管并发症和HPS都是总生存率较低的预测因素(危险比[HR]分别为11.63和5.96;P 结论):本研究对儿童进行了长期随访,结果显示,在接受LT治疗的BA患儿中,LT前HPS的发展对总生存率的影响较小,且胆道并发症的风险较高。

The overall survival rate of LT in BA children was 80% and the overall survival rate of LT in BA children with and without HPS was 17% and 83%, respectively. Vascular complications and HPS were predictors for poor overall survival rates both in univariate logistic regression analyses (hazard ratio [HR], 11.63 and 5.96; P < 0.0001 and P = 0.001, respectively) and multivariate logistic regression analyses (HR, 10.02 and 4.16; P < 0.0001 and P = 0.007, respectively). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated the predictive role of HPS on poor overall survival rates (P < 0.0001), higher risks of biliary complications (P < 0.0001), and higher risks of jaundice (P < 0.01) post-LT.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The present study comprising children over long-term follow-up revealed that the development of pre-LT HPS had a poor impact on overall survival rates and higher risks of biliary complications in BA children receiving LT.</p>","PeriodicalId":56095,"journal":{"name":"Pediatrics and Neonatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142696249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: The prevention and treatment of pneumonia and lung injury in preterm infants are major challenges for pediatricians worldwide. Few studies have analyzed the composition of bacterial colonies in the airway and intestine and their relationship with toll-like receptors (TLRs) as it relates to pneumonia in preterm infants.

Methods: This study included 70 infants born at 32-35 weeks gestation. Oral-tracheal aspirates at the time of birth, first-pass meconium, and serum specimens were collected. Bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from the Oral-tracheal aspirates and meconium, and 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) genes were amplified and sequenced. The levels of TLR2 and TLR4 were analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Preterm infants were classified into non-pneumonia (A) and pneumonia (B) groups according to their clinical manifestations.

Results: Significant differences in the alpha and beta diversities were observed between the two groups. Infants with pneumonia had less bacterial diversity in the airways and intestinal flora at birth than those without pneumonia. The three most predominant phyla in the airways at birth were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria. The levels of TLR2 and TLR4 in oral-tracheal aspirates were higher in infants with pneumonia than in those without pneumonia, although serum TLR2 and TLR4 levels did not differ between the groups. Streptococcus in the oral tracheal aspirate was negatively correlated with TLR2 and TLR4 levels, and Ureaplasma in the oral-tracheal aspirate was negatively correlated with TLR4 levels in the airway.

Conclusion: Reduced perinatal microbiota diversity is associated with the levels of TLR2 and TLR4, and may also have a significant impact on the development of pneumonia.

背景:早产儿肺炎和肺损伤的预防和治疗是全球儿科医生面临的主要挑战。很少有研究分析气道和肠道中细菌菌落的组成及其与早产儿肺炎相关的收费样受体(TLR)的关系:本研究包括 70 名妊娠 32-35 周的早产儿。收集了出生时的口腔-气管吸出物、第一次粪便和血清标本。从口腔气管吸出物和胎粪中提取细菌脱氧核糖核酸(DNA),扩增 16S 核糖体核糖核酸(rRNA)基因并进行测序。使用酶联免疫吸附试验分析了 TLR2 和 TLR4 的水平。根据早产儿的临床表现将其分为非肺炎组(A)和肺炎组(B):结果:两组婴儿的α和β多样性存在显著差异。与未患肺炎的婴儿相比,患肺炎的婴儿出生时呼吸道和肠道菌群的细菌多样性较低。出生时呼吸道中最主要的三个菌门是变形菌门、真菌门和放线菌门。患肺炎的婴儿口腔气管吸出物中的 TLR2 和 TLR4 含量高于未患肺炎的婴儿,但血清中的 TLR2 和 TLR4 含量在各组间并无差异。口腔气管吸出物中的链球菌与TLR2和TLR4水平呈负相关,口腔气管吸出物中的解脲脲原体与气道中的TLR4水平呈负相关:结论:围产期微生物群多样性的降低与 TLR2 和 TLR4 的水平有关,也可能对肺炎的发生有重要影响。
