Out of these scoring systems our study was designed to look for the utility of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score which is less time consuming and simple to apply as a predictor of mortality in sick children admitted in Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).\u0000Methods: This was a prospective observational study done in PICU of Universal College of Medical Sciences, Bhairahawa, Nepal. Recruited patients were all critically sick children above one year who stayed in hospital above 72 hours and underwent all necessary evaluation, and were followed up until they were discharged or deceased. Initial SOFA score was calculated within 24 hours of admission (SOFA T0) and again calculated after 72 hours (SOFA T72). Delta SOFA score was calculated as the change in SOFA scores over 72 hours (SOFA T0 - SOFA T72). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.\u0000Results: When compared to outcome, the non survivors had high mean initial SOFA (T0) 11.51 ± ences ec ing 3.001 (P < 0.001), mean SOFA after 72 hours (T72) was 15.51 ± 4.026 (P < 0.001) and mean delta SOFA (T0-T72) was 4.58 ± 2.59 (P = 0.166) as compared to survivors. Delta SOFA was not significantly associated with outcome (P = 0.166). The initial SOFA score T0 > / = 11 predicted a mortality of 70.90% and SOFA T72 score of >/=15 predicted a mortality of 81.60% but delta sofa >/= 4 predicts a mortality of only 43.60%. Area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for SOFA TO was 0.769, for SOFA T72 was 0.890 and for delta SOFA was 0.604 and thus, showing excellent discriminative power for SOFA 72 for predicting mortality.\u0000Conclusions: The SOFA score demonstrated fair to good accuracy for predicting mortality when applied to sick children > 1 year admitted in PICU. Our study showed both initial SOFA T0 and SOFA at 72 hours predict mortality with good accuracy but SOFA at 72 hours is a better predictor of mortality as compared to initial and delta SOFA scores.","PeriodicalId":39140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43539207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aims to find the relationship between gross motor function and nutritional status in these children by comparing the proportion of stunting, wasting and under-weight between the various levels of gross motor function.\u0000Methods: Our study was across- sectional study conducted on 82 cases of cerebral palsy between one to five years of age visiting Kanti Children’s Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal from May 2017 to September 2018. Their level of gross motor function was ascertained by applying the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and anthropometry was done using standard methods. On the basis of their motor function, the children were divided into two categories: those with poorer motor function who had poor self-mobility even with assistance (GMFCS level 4 and 5) and those with better motor function who had self-mobility with various degrees of assistance (GMFCS level 1, 2 and 3). Wasting, stunting and under-weight were compared between the two categories and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was estimated for malnutrition.\u0000Results: The children belonging to poorer motor function were more likely to be underweight (Odds ratio 3.41; CI 1.36-8.52; p-value 0.008) and stunted (Odds ratio 3.9; CI 1.47-10.53; p-value 0.048) than those with better motor function.\u0000Conclusions: Children with poorer motor function are more likely to develop malnutrition (Specially stunting) than those with better motor function indicating that chronic form of malnutrition is more common in these children.","PeriodicalId":39140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47086872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aims at estimating EUGR prevalence in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates and its associated morbidities.\u0000Methods: All VLBW neonates admitted to NICU between Jan 2018 to June 2019 were analysed. Neonatal anthropometries were recorded on Intergrowth 21st gender based postnatal growth chart. EUGR was defined by weight below 10th percentile at discharge. Demographic profile and neonatal morbidities were compared between EUGR and non-EUGR by using unpaired t test and Chi-square test.

Transcutaneous bilirubin (TCB) measurement is a simple and easy method to predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

The TCB values were obtained from the forehead (TCB-FH) and sternum (TCB-S) by a non-Invasive Bilirubin Analyser. The average of TCB (TCB- AV) was determined for each baby with TCB-FH and TCB –S values. Neonates were followed up subsequently till discharge for the development of significant hyperbilirubinemia. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated and the best cut-off value for 24-hour TCB as a predictor of significant hyperbilirubinemia was established.\u0000Results: The study included 88 neonates, of which 39 (44.3%) were late preterm and 49 (55.7%) term small for gestation age.

During the second COVID wave, mucormycosis has emerged as one of the deadliest and most devastating illnesses. Mucormycosis is strongly associated with diabetes, prolonged use of steroids, prolonged hospitalisation and immunocompromised states. Children have also been affected by this badly. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a non-invasive, cost-effective and painless therapy where 100% oxygen is given to patients under high atmospheric pressure in small tents or chambers. It helps in tissue regeneration and angiogenesis. Hyperbaric oxygen has proved to be effective in the treatment of oculo-rhino-cerebral mucormycosis. Various studies have proved its role in the management of mucormycosis and acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with COVID-19 infection. The advantages of hyperbaric oxygen are same in children as in adults with minimum side effects. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be one of the good adjunctive therapies in the management of mucormycosis. It is found to be safe in the treatment of COVID-19 infection, but data is still limited on its use and further studies are needed.
