Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hypophosphatemia is one of the common disorders that develop in critically ill patients. It has potential complications and is often unrecognized in those patients.
OBJECTIVE: Determining the incidence of hypophosphatemia in critically ill children, its association with clinical outcomes and the possible risk factors.
METHODS: 50 patients were enrolled in the study. Levels of serum phosphate were measured on day 1 and day 7 of PICU (Pediatric intensive care unit) stay. The following variables were analyzed: age, gender, diagnosis on admission, malnutrition, phosphorus intake, clinical severity score on admission OFI (Organ Failure Index) and daily scores PELOD (Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction), sepsis, use of dopamine, furosemide and steroids and assessment of nutrition by z scores.
RESULTS: The incidence of hypophosphatemia on admission was 42%. On seventh day of admission incidence of hypophosphatemia was 62%. Malnutrition was present in 24% of patients, serum phosphorus level was significantly lower in malnourished than in well-nourished children (
CONCLUSION: Hypophosphatemia was common in the first 7 days of PICU hospitalization and was associated with prolonged PICU stay, Significant association between hypophosphatemia and duration of use of mechanical ventilation, use of furosemide, dopamine, steroids and β2 agonist.
