Predictive model for surgical intervention in pediatric acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has resulted in more complicated disease courses and worsening prognoses for patients with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO), increasing the necessity for surgical intervention. This research attempts to identify the risk variables related to surgical patients and build prediction models.

Method

From December 2015 to December 2022, children admitted to a single quaternary care pediatric hospital with AHO had their charts retrospectively reviewed. Based on the therapy methods, the patients were divided into 3 cohorts: multiple surgery, single surgery, and conservative care. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors related to single and recurrent surgery. A nomogram was
