Neutrophil to lymphocyte (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) are simple biomarkers of inflammation that can be measured in routine hematological examination which role in predicting organ dysfunction remain unclear. \u0000Objective To understand the correlations between PCT level, NLR, and MPV, tested in the first day of admission with outcomes of septic children in intensive care unit. \u0000Methods This retrospective cohort study obtained the data from medical record of pediatric patients admitted in PICU and HCU since January 2019. The inclusion criteria were children aged 1 months to 18 years with sepsis; whie exclusion criteria were patients with congenital heart disease, hematologic disease, malignancy, and length of care in intensive care unit less than 3 days or more than 28 days. The PCT, NLR, and MPV levels were assessed in the first day of admission. Organ dysfunction was identified using qSOFA score more than 2 points.   \u0000Results Sixty-nine septic children were reviewed. Procalcitonin level in the first day of admission correlated significantly with qSOFA score in the third day of admission (R= 0.639; P=0.000); as well as with mortality (R=0.747; P=0.000). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of PCT level in the first day of admission had area under curve (AUC) of 0.922 to predict organ dysfunction (cut off 3.425; sensitivity 95.8%; specificity 52.4%) and AUC of 0.952 to predict mortality (cut off 21.165; sensitivity 96.4%; specificity 78%). \u0000Moreover, NLR in the first day of admission correlated significantly with qSOFA in the third day of admission (R=0.407; P=0.001), but did not correlate with mortality. The ROC of NLR to predict organ dysfunction was 0.829 (cut off 3.52; sensitivity 87.5%; specificity 66.7%). There was no correlation between MPV in the first day of admission with qSOFA score in the third day of admission neither with mortality. \u0000Linear regression test showed that PCT level and NLR in the first day of admission simultaneously had correlated with qSOFA score in the third day of admission (R=0.696; P= 0.000) and mortality (R=0.748; P=0.000). Meanwhile, PCT and MPV simultaneously had correlation with qSOFA score in the third day of admission (R=0.688; P=0.000) and mortality (R=0.733; P=0.000). Moreover, NLR and MPV simultaneously had correlation with qSOFA score in the third day of admission (R=0.453; P=0.002). All three independent variables (PCT level, NLR, and MPV) simultaneously correlated with qSOFA score in the third day of admission (R= 0.744; P=0.000) and mortality (R=0.739; P=0.000). \u0000Conclusion There are significant correlations between each, PCT level and NLR in the first day of admission with qSOFA score in the third day of admission as well as with mortality.

Data collected included subjects’ basic demographics, primary surgical diagnoses, associated congenital anomalies, pre-operative conditions, and referral status. These parameters were analyzed in relation to the incidence of infection and mortality in the 30 days after surgical procedure. \u0000Results Of fifty-four neonates in this study, the most common neonatal surgical conditions were anorectal malformation, followed by necrotizing enterocolitis and Hirschsprung’s disease. The mortality rate at 30 days was 48%. The most common associated factors were sepsis (OR 0.778; 95%CI 0.233 to -1.167; P=0.041), pre-operative respiratory failure/hemodynamic instability (OR 2.129; 95%CI 1.039 to 3.126; P<0.001), and delayed referral (OR 0.295; 95%CI 0.074 to 1.177; P=0.048). Other factors such as age at presentation, gender, gestational age, birth weight, referral patient vs. those born in our hospital, associated congenital anomalies, and emergency procedures were not associated with mortality. The survival time in the sepsis group [17.30 (1.68-13.98) days] was significantly lower than in the non-sepsis group [25.95 (1.63-22.76) days] (P< 0.001). \u0000Conclusion Sepsis, pre-operative respiratory failure/hemodynamic instability, and delayed referral are risk factors for mortality in neonates following abdominal surgery.
