Risk factor analysis of plastic bronchitis among 126 children with macrolide-resistant <i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</i> pneumonia with mutations at the <i>A2063G</i> site after bronchoscopy examination: a nomogram prediction model.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the risk factors for plastic bronchitis (PB) in children diagnosed with macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MRMP) pneumonia associated with the A2064G variant.

Methods

The clinical data of 126 children diagnosed with MRMP pneumonia (all with mutations at the A2063G site) who underwent bronchoscopy from May 2023 to April 2024 were retrospectively collected. Based on bronchoscopic findings, patients were classified into the PB and non-PB groups. The study compared the general and clinical features, laboratory indicators, imaging features, bronchoscopic manifestations, treatment, and prognosis between the two groups. A nomogram model, based on logistic regression, was developed to estimate the risks of developing PB in children
