Abstrakt: Objectives: Pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is a fatal complication in patients with severe dengue. To date, clinical data on the combination of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for managing dengue-associated PALF concomitant with shock syndrome are limited.
Design: Retrospective cohort study (January 2013 to June 2022).
Patients: Thirty-four children.
Setting: PICU of tertiary Children's Hospital No. 2 in Vietnam.
Interventions: We assessed a before-versus-after practice change at our center of using combined TPE and CRRT (2018 to 2022) versus CRRT alone (2013 to 2017) in managing children with dengue-associated acute liver failure and shock syndrome. Clinical and laboratory data were reviewed from PICU admission, before and 24 h after CRRT and TPE treatments. The main study outcomes were 28-day in-hospital mortality, hemodynamics, clinical hepatoencephalopathy, and liver function normalization.
Measurements and Main Results: A total of 34 children with a median age of 10 years (interquartile range: 7-11 yr) underwent standard-volume TPE and/or CRRT treatments. Combined TPE and CRRT ( n = 19), versus CRRT alone ( n = 15), was associated with lower proportion of mortality 7 of 19 (37%) versus 13 of 15 (87%), difference 50% (95% CI, 22-78; p < 0.01). Use of combined TPE and CRRT was associated with substantial advancements in clinical hepatoencephalopathy, liver transaminases, coagulation profiles, and blood lactate and ammonia levels (all p values < 0.001).
Conclusions: In our experience of children with dengue-associated PALF and shock syndrome, combined use of TPE and CRRT, versus CRRT alone, is associated with better outcomes. Such combination intervention was associated with normalization of liver function, neurological status, and biochemistry. In our center we continue to use combined TPE and CRRT rather than CRRT alone.
