Abstract

Background Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common systemic vasculitis in children and is usually self-limited with a favorable prognosis. However, recurrence in children is associated with a poorer prognosis, i.e., a higher risk of progressing to chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a long-term complication. In Indonesia, the recurrence rate of HSP and its predictors in children have not been well established . Objective To estimate the incidence of recurrent HSP and determine its predictors in children at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital (RSCM). Methods A retrospective cohort review of medical records followed children aged <18 years at RSCM for 6 months after HSP diagnosis based on the the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/ Paediatric Rheumatology European Society (PRESS)/Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization (PRINTO) criteria. Multivariate, Cox logistic regression, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed. Results This study included 116 children aged 2–17 years with HSP. Twenty-six (22.4%) of the subjects experienced recurrence, with an incidence of 3.56 per 100,000 person-years. The only statistically significant predictor for recurrence was  the presence of infection after the first episode of HSP (HR 11.301; 95%CI 4.327 to 29.519; P<0.001). The cumulative survival of subjects with infection for recurrence over 6 months  was  51%, with mean 5.3 months survival duration (95%CI 4.76 to 5.99; P< 0.0001). Chronic kidney disease, a long-term complication of HSP, was noted in 22 (19%) participants. Conclusion Recurrence of HSP was  observed in 22.4% of our subjects within 6 months follow up. However, subjects with a history of infection after their first episode of HSP resolution should be notified about the possibility of recurrence. Chronic kidney disease occurred in 22 participants (19%), possibly becoming a long-term complication of HSP.

Abstract

Background Endotracheal intubation is a life-saving intervention, and accurate placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT) is crucial in pediatric patients due to anatomical variability. Ultrasound offers a practical and safe alternative to chest X-ray (CXR) for verifying ETT placement. Objective To compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound compared to CXR in localizing the ETT tip in pediatric patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2025 in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. The study included children aged 1 month to 18 years intubated with either cuffed or uncuffed ETTs. A CXR was performed immediately after intubation, followed by ultrasound within 24 hours. ETT position was assessed based on CXR findings and tracheal ring alignment on ultrasound. Results A total of 89 patients were enrolled. Ultrasound demonstrated sensitivity of 88.6%, specificity of 73.7%, overall accuracy of 85.4%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 92.5%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 63.6%. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.811. The positive likelihood ratio (LR+) was 3.37, and the negative likelihood ratio (LR–) was 0.16. Multivariate analysis identified ultrasound as a significant predictor of accurate ETT placement [odds ratio (OR) 7.75; 95%CI 1.29 to 4.74; P<0.001]. Conclusion Ultrasound is a feasible, reliable and accurate alternative to CXR for verifying ETT tip positioning in pediatric intensive care settings.

Abstract

Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common congenital anomaly in children, with corrective cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) being the definitive treatment. However, post-operative morbidity and mortality remain high, requiring effective hemodynamic monitoring in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). Blood lactate levels are traditionally used to assess microcirculation, while non-invasive methods like the perfusion index (PI) have gained interest for real-time monitoring. Objective To determine the correlation between PI and blood lactate levels in pediatric patients following corrective cardiac surgery. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from September to October 2024. Thirty-four pediatric patients aged 1 month to 18 years who underwent corrective cardiac surgery were included. PI and lactate levels were measured at one, four, and eight hours post-operation. Results The median age of participants was 21.5 (IQR 10.25–79.5) months. Non-cyanotic CHD was the most common diagnosis (58%), and 67.6% of cases involved CPB. Low cardiac output syndrome occurred in 17.6% of subjects. Lactate levels decreased significantly over time (P<0.001), while PI showed an increasing trend. Correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between PI <1.4 and lactate levels at the fourth (r =-0.455; P=0.038) and eighth hours (r=-0.515; P=0.017). Conclusion  PI has a significant negative correlation with lactate levels and may serve as a useful non-invasive parameter for microcirculation monitoring in pediatric patients after corrective cardiac surgery.
