Abstract

Population-based analysis of incidence, comorbid conditions, microbiological characteristics, and outcomes of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) in children. Retrospective analysis of National Inpatient Sample (NIS) and Kids Inpatient database (KID) database from 2003 to 2014 and included patients between 1 and 20 years of age. Using ICD-9 codes, we identified all hospitalizations with PLA and compared them with 1 : 10 age- and gender-matched controls. Amebic liver abscess and Candida infections were excluded. Total number of PLA admissions is 4075. The overall incidence of PLA is 13.5 per 100,000 hospitalizations, which increased by 60% between 2003 and 2014. The mean age of patients was 13.03 ± 6.1 years and were predominantly boys-61%. Of the comorbid conditions, hepatobiliary malignancy had the highest odds ratio (OR 71.8) followed by liver transplant (OR 38.4), biliary disease (OR 29.9), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (OR 5.35), other GI malignancies (OR 4.74), primary immune deficiency disorder (OR 4.13). Patients with PLA had 12 times increased odds of having associated severe sepsis. Infective endocarditis (IE) (OR 4.5), appendicitis (OR 1.8), and diverticulitis (OR 8.1) were significantly associated with PLA. Almost 39% (1...Continue Reading
