2019, Pediatrics and NeonatologyCitation Excerpt :In general, the clinical characteristics, treatments, and prognosis of such patients are not well understood. Patients with gastric perforation may present with critical symptoms,11 and their prognosis varies according to the severity of the condition. Pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) has been found to be an objective and quantification method to evaluate the severity of diseases.12–14
Conservative Surgery for Right Colon Perforation Leads to Better Long-Term Outcomes in Children: A 21-year Experience
2015, Pediatrics and NeonatologyCitation Excerpt :Colon perforation is a life-threatening infection in the pediatric population, which requires early surgical management. Among the etiologies of nontraumatic colon perforation in pediatric patients, necrotizing enterocolitis contributes to most perforations in neonates, especially in premature newborns.1–3 However, other entities of spontaneous colon perforation in the childhood such as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, lymphoma, and infections have also been reported.4–7

2014, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Practically, these data should allow the surgeon to estimate the outcomes of VLBW neonates undergoing laparotomy based on operative findings. Small, single-center studies have reported variable SIP mortalities ranging from 12% to 57% [2,6–10,16–21]. The largest previous cohort studied, 156 neonates (birth weights < 1000 g) from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Neonatal Research Network, found mortality of 22% for SIP patients undergoing laparotomy [22].
