Risk factors associated with in-hospital complications for pediatric sickle-cell disease-associated moyamoya syndrome: a nationwide cross-sectional study.
Child's Nervous System : ChNS : Official Journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery 2024 March 27
PURPOSE: Sickle-cell disease-associated moyamoya syndrome (SCD-MMS) carries a high risk for recurrent strokes and cerebrovascular morbidity in children. However, few data are available about complications that occur in children hospitalized with SCD-MMS. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the risk factors for in-hospital complications in pediatric SCD-MMS admissions, and thus aid physicians in optimizing future treatment plans.
METHODS: A national database of pediatric hospital admissions was examined across the years 2003-2019. ICD-9 and ICD-10 diagnosis codes were analyzed to identify discharges with a primary diagnosis of SCD-MMS and identify in-hospital complications, defined as complication-associated diagnostic codes logged during the same admission. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and hospital characteristics were examined using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to determine associations with in-hospital complications.
RESULTS: In total, 274 admissions with a primary diagnosis of SCD-MMS were identified. During 64 (23.4%) admissions, transfusion therapy was given, and in 86 admissions (31.4%), surgical revascularization was performed. In 10 admissions (3.6%), a total of 11 in-hospital complications were identified. After multivariate regression, both comorbid chronic lung disease (adjusted OR 5.3 [1.1, 26.9], P = 0.04) and surgical revascularization (adjusted OR 10.2 [2.0, 52.4], P = 0.006) were associated with development of complications.
CONCLUSIONS: In this nationwide database of pediatric SCD-MMS hospitalizations, comorbid chronic lung disease and surgical revascularization were associated with development of in-hospital complications. Patients with comorbid chronic lung disease or who are admitted for revascularization may warrant closer monitoring and greater medical optimization during the hospitalization.
