The association between systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and early nosocomial infections after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in children with congenital heart disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infections occurring postoperatively in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery pose a considerable challenge, affecting the duration of hospitalization, financial costs, and patient outcomes. Studies investigating the association between systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and early infections after CHD surgery are very rare. This study seeks to delineate the link between SII and the occurrence of early nosocomial infections in pediatric patients undergoing CPB surgery for CHD.

Methods

A cross-sectional analysis was performed on 325 pediatric patients who underwent CPB surgery for CHD between July 2020 and June 2023. The primary exposure was the SII value on the first postoperative day. The outcom
