Intussusception is one of the most common causes of intestinal obstruction in children. Pneumatic reduction is the treatment of choice and has a high success rate. The most common cause of pneumatic reduction failure is the presence of a pathological leading point. We aimed to identify other factors that can lead to pneumatic reduction failure in children with ileocolic intussusception. This was a retrospective study conducted in two centers. Data were collected from January 2013 to December 2014. A total of 156 patients were diagnosed with intussusception and underwent pneumatic reduction, with the exception of one patient with peritonitis. We included patients with ileocolic-type intussusception without apparent pathological leading points. Logistic regression analysis of clinical parameters was performed to identify factors associated with pneumatic reduction failure. Of 156 patients diagnosed with intussusception in both hospitals, 145 were enrolled in the study. The overall efficacy of pneumatic reduction was 85.7%, and surgical reduction was performed in 21 patients. Univariate analysis showed that a high segmented neutrophil count, low hemoglobin level, high body temperature, and higher weight percentile were associated with pneumatic reduction failure. Multivariate analysis showed that a high segmented neutrophil count, low hemoglobin level, and higher weight percentile were significantly associated with pneumatic reduction failure. Pneumatic reduction is safe and effective as a first-line treatment for pediatric intussusception. However, a high segmented neutrophil count, low hemoglobin level, and higher weight percentile are associated with the failure of this treatment. |
