Objective: To explore the prognostic risk factors of children with heart failure(HF), and to provide a basis for prognosis evaluation. Methods: The clinical data of 107 children with HF admitted to the Nanjing Children's Hospital from June 2020 to August 2022 were retrospectively collected. According to the prognosis of 6 months, the children were divided into poor prognosis group and good prognosis group. Cox multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the influencing factors for the prognosis in children with HF. Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) was drawn to determine the predictive value of influencing factors for the prognosis of children. Results: Among 107 children with HF, 9 cases died of cardiovascular events, 20 cases were hospitalized again due to HF aggravation, 29 cases(27.10%) had poor prognosis, who were classified into poor prognosis group; there were 78 cases(72.90%) of rehospitalization without cardiovascular event death and HF aggravation, who were classified into good prognosis group. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that the modified ROSS score, b-type natriuretic peptide(BNP), red blood cell distribution width(RDW), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) were risk factors for poor prognosis in children with HF, and albumin(ALB), serum natrium(Na+) were protective factors(P<0.05). The ROC curve showed that the improved ROSS score and BNP, RDW, hs-CRP, ALB, Na+ had a certain predictive effect on the poor prognosis of children with HF, and the AUC was 0.795, 0.848, 0.705, 0.830, 0.729 and 0.754, respectively. Conclusion: The prognostic factors of children with HF include modified ROSS score, BNP, RDW, hs-CRP, ALB and Na+, which have good predictive value for prognosis. |
