RESUMO
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most serious complications of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Its treatment requires fluid and electrolyte replacement and insulin. Hypophosphatemia as a complication of treatment has been scarcely evaluated. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the incidence of hypophosphatemia in children with DKA, treated with subcutaneous regular insulin (IRS), and to explore factors associated with this complication. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Prospective, observational study. Patients diagnosed with DKA hospitalized in the general care ward were included. Data on phosphatemia, glycemia, acid-base status, and IRS amount (U/kg) received were recorded at baseline and after 24 h of treatment. Hypophosphatemia was defined as values below 2.5 mg/dl. The correlation between initial phosphate and at 24 h of treatment was evaluated; the incidence of hypophosphatemia at 24 h was expressed as a percentage of the total number of patients. RESULTS: 30 patients were included, 15 were female, mean age 11.4 ± 3.2 years. At 24 h of treatment with IRS, 36.7% (95%CI 22-55%) presented hypophosphatemia, mean value 1.9 ± 1.5 mg/dl. Initial bicarbonate < 10 mmol/L acted as a predictor of hypophosphatemia (OR 7.5; 95%CI 1.4-39.8%; p = 0.01). No patient required intravenous phosphate correction, and no associated clinical complications were observed. CONCLUSION: In the group studied, the incidence of hypophosphatemia reached 36.7% at 24 hours of treatment. Initial bicarbonate lower than 10 mmol/L was significantly associated with hypophosphatemia. No complications associated with hypophosphatemia were observed.

BACKGROUND: Early nutritional therapy may aggravate hypophosphatemia in critically ill patients. AIM: To investigate the influence of the type nutritional therapy on the survival of critically-ill malnourished patients at refeeding hypophosphatemia risk. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study including malnourished, critically-ill adults, admitted from June 2014-December 2017 in an intensive care unit (ICU) at a tertiary hospital. Refeeding hypophosphatemia risk was defined as low serum phosphorus levels (<2.5 mg/dL) seen at two timepoints: before the initiation and at day 4 of the nutritional therapy. Patients receiving enteral nutrition (EN) were compared with those receiving supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN-EN plus parenteral nutrition). Primary outcome was 60 d survival. Secondary endpoint was the incidence of refeeding hypophosphatemia risk. RESULTS: We included 468-321 patients (68.6%) received EN and 147 (31.4%) received SPN. The mortality rate was 36.3% (n = 170). Refeeding hypophosphatemia risk was found in 116 (24.8%) patients before and in 177 (37.8%) at day 4 of nutritional therapy. The 60 d mean survival probability was greater for patients receiving SPN both before (42.4 vs. 22.4%, p = 0.005) and at day 4 (37.4 vs. 25.8%, p = 0.014) vs. patients receiving EN at the same timepoints. Cox regression showed a hazard ratio of 3.3 and 2.4 for patients at refeeding hypophosphatemia risk before and at day 4 of EN, respectively, compared to the SPN group at the same timepoints. CONCLUSION: Refeeding hypophosphatemia risk was frequent in malnourished ICU patients and the survival for patients receiving SPN seemed associated with better survival than EN only.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence of hypophosphatemia in preterm infants according to parenteral nutrition received and to evaluate associated risk factors. DESIGN: A prospective multicenter cohort study included 111 patients ≤ 1250 g (7 NICUs of the NEOCOSUR Network). Two groups were compared according to the amino-acid supply in the first 48 h: aggressive parenteral group ≥ 3 g/kg/day and standard parenteral group: <2.9 g/kg/day. Hypophosphatemia was defined as serum phosphate < 4 mg/dl. A logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate associated risk factors. RESULTS: Fifty-eight infants received aggressive parenteral nutrition. The incidence of hypophosphatemia was significantly higher in the aggressive parenteral group (77.5% vs 53.8%, p = 0.009). Hypophosphatemia was independently associated with aggressive parenteral nutrition (aOR 4.16 95% CI 1.54-12.24) and negatively associated with phosphorous intake (aOR 0.92 95% CI 0.87-0.97). CONCLUSION: Both high amino-acid intake and low phosphorus supply during the first days after birth were independently associated with hypophosphatemia.

BACKGROUND: Hypophosphatemia(HP) is related to several comorbidities in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of HP in severely ill pediatric patients receiving oral and/or enteral nutrition. The secondary objectives were to investigate the association between HP and the inflammatory state, PICU length of stay, severity, mortality, nutrition status, and protein, energy, calcium, vitamin D, and phosphate intake. METHODS: A prospective, observational cohort study was conducted in a PICU of a quaternary hospital. Participants aged between 28 days and 14 years were included. Anthropometric and laboratory assessments were performed ≤72 h after PICU admission and repeated after 7 days for three consecutive times. Energy, protein, calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D intake per day of hospitalization were recorded individually. The Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2) was used to determine each patient's severity score. RESULTS: A total of 103 participants were included in the study. Hypophosphatemic events ranged from 27.2% to 37.5% among the assessments. HP was associated with high C-reactive protein levels (P = .012) and lower energy adequacy (P = .037). Serum phosphorus was inversely correlated (weak correlation) with PIM2 (P = .017). CONCLUSION: HP is common in critically ill pediatric patients, even when they are not receiving parenteral nutrition. It is necessary to monitor serum phosphorus levels and consider the possibility of early replacement, especially in patients showing high levels of inflammation. In addition to inflammation itself, low energy intake and illness severity were related to HP.

Introdução: A presença de hipofosfatemia é fortemente relacionada à ocorrência de síndrome de realimentação em pacientes críticos, na qual um dos principais grupos de risco é a população idosa. Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência de hipofosfatemia e o risco de síndrome de realimentação em idosos internados em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. Métodos: Estudo observacional prospectivo, realizado numa unidade de terapia intensiva com pacientes idosos de ambos os sexos e em uso de terapia nutricional enteral. Foram coletados dados demográficos, clínicos e exames bioquímicos, e realizadas triagem e avaliação nutricional. As necessidades nutricionais foram calculadas e adotou-se o ponto de corte de 90% para estabelecer a adequação da oferta calórica. Para avaliar o risco e a ocorrência de síndrome de realimentação, foram utilizados os critérios propostos pelo grupo NICE. A análise estatística foi realizada com o auxílio do programa SPSS 13.0, com um intervalo de confiança (IC) de 95%. Resultados: Foram estudados 44 pacientes, dos quais 34,1% estavam em magreza; 86,4% dos pacientes iniciaram a terapia nutricional enteral em até 48 horas, com 43,2% de adequação calórica em até 72 horas. A hipofosfatemia foi encontrada em 9,1% dos pacientes na admissão e em 29,5% após o início da dieta. Com isso, 88,6% dos pacientes apresentaram algum risco para desenvolver síndrome de realimentação e 40,9% deles manifestaram a síndrome. Conclusão: Foi identificada elevada prevalência de hipofosfatemia após o início da terapia nutricional. Além disso, o risco de desenvolver síndrome de realimentação foi elevado e sua manifestação se assemelha aos dados encontrados na literatura. (AU)
Introduction: The presence of hypophosphatemia is strongly related to the occurrence of refeeding syndrome in critically ill patients, in which one of the main risk groups is the elderly population. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of hypophosphatemia and the risk of refeeding syndrome in elderly patients admitted to an intensive care unit. Methods: Prospective observational study carried out in an intensive care unit with elderly patients of both genders using enteral nutritional therapy. Demographic, clinical and biochemical data were collected, and nutritional screening and assessment were performed. The energy and nutrient requirements were calculated and a cutoff point of 90% was adopted to establish the adequacy of the caloric supply. To assess the risk and occurrence of refeeding syndrome, the criteria proposed by the NICE group were used. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 13.0 program, with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: 44 patients were studied, of which 34.1% were malnourished; 86.4% of patients started enteral nutritional therapy within 48 hours, with 43.2% of caloric adequacy within 72 hours. Hypophosphatemia was found in 9.1% of patients on admission and in 29.5% after starting the diet. Thus, 88.6% of patients had some risk of developing the refeeding syndrome and 40.9% of them manifested the syndrome. Conclusion: A high prevalence of hypophosphatemia was identified after starting nutritional therapy. In addition, the risk of developing refeeding syndrome was high and its manifestation is similar to data found in the literature. (AU)

BACKGROUND: Parenteral nutrition (PN)-dependent adults and elderly individuals who are admitted to hospital treatment are potentially susceptible to mineral disorder complications due to depleted physiological reserves, loss of lean body mass, and increased fat mass, thus worsening inflammation. AIM: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesaemia prior and within the first 7 days of PN infusion. Furthermore, whether malnutrition and old age are associated with these disorders was also investigated. METHODS: This study included a historical cohort of adult patients, and 1,040 patients whose information was prospectively entered in the database were evaluated. RESULTS: Of the 781 patients, 27.3% were ≥65 years, 80.9% had undergone surgical treatment, 74.3% were in the intensive care unit, and 17.9% died during the hospitalization period. About 17.1% patients were malnourished. Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) was observed in 31.9% of the elderly patients and 27.1% of adults in general. Hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia were more prevalent before the start of PN infusion (D0: 214 [18.4%]), and new events were more common during the first 2 days of PN infusion (D1: 283 [23.1%]; D2: 243 [20.1%]. Elderly patients were more susceptible to developing hypophosphatemia (odds ratio [OR]: 1.69; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29-2.19; p<0.001). Patients with PEM were also more susceptible to hypophosphatemia (OR: 3.75; 95% CI: 1.13-12.47; p=0.036). CONCLUSION: Hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia were frequently observed in hospitalized adults and elderly patients before and particularly during the first 2 days of PN infusion. Elderly patients and patients with PEM are more susceptible to developing hypophosphatemia.

Introducción. La nutrición parenteral agresiva constituye un estándar de cuidado en prematuros de muy bajo peso. Sin embargo, investigaciones recientes evaluaron su impacto en los resultados a corto plazo, como la homeostasis mineral y electrolítica. El objetivo fue comparar la prevalencia de hipercalcemia e hipofosfatemia en prematuros que recibían nutrición parenteral agresiva o estándar. Métodos. Estudio observacional retrospectivo que comparó a un grupo de prematuros menores de 1250 gramos que recibían nutrición parenteral agresiva con un grupo control histórico. Se calculó la prevalencia de hipercalcemia y se buscó la asociación con nutrición parenteral agresiva ajustando por confundidores. Se estimó la media de fosfatemia del grupo control mediante regresión lineal y se la comparó con el otro grupo. Resultados. Se incluyeron 40 pacientes por grupo. La prevalencia de hipercalcemia fue mayor en el grupo de nutrición parenteral agresiva (87,5% vs. 35%, p= 0,001). La nutrición parenteral agresiva se asoció con hipercalcemia al ajustar por peso al nacer, restricción del crecimiento intrauterino, aporte de aminoácidos y calorías (ORa 21,8; IC 95%: 3,7-128). La media de calcemia fue diferente entre ambos grupos (p= 0,002). El grupo de nutrición parenteral agresiva presentó más sepsis sin alcanzar significancia estadística y su fosfatemia media resultó menor que la estimada para el grupo control (p= 0,04). La prevalencia de hipofosfatemia en este grupo fue de 90% (IC 95%: 76-97%). Conclusiones. Nuestros datos muestran una asociación entre hipercalcemia/hipofosfatemia y nutrición parenteral agresiva. Se recomienda monitorizar la calcemia y la fosfatemia frecuentemente, ya que pueden estar asociadas con resultados clínicos adversos.
Introduction. Aggressive parenteral nutrition is the standard of care among very-low-birth weight preterm infants. However, in recent studies, its impact on short-term outcomes, has been evaluated. The objective was to compare the prevalence of hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia among preterm infants receiving aggressive or standard parenteral nutrition. Methods. Observational, retrospective study comparing a group of preterm infants weighing less than 1250 grams who received aggressive parenteral nutrition with a historical control group. The prevalence of hypercalcemia was estimated and its association with aggressive parenteral nutrition was searched adjusting by confounders. The mean phosphate level was estimated for the control group by linear regression and was compared to the value in the other group. Results. Forty patients per group were included. The prevalence of hypercalcemia was higher in the group who received aggressive parenteral nutrition (87.5% versus 35%, p= 0.001). Aggressive parenteral nutrition was associated with hypercalcemia when adjusting by birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, amino acid, and calorie intake (adjusted odds ratio: 21.8, 95% confidence interval -amp;#91;CI-amp;#93;: 3.7-128). The mean calcium level was different between both groups (p= 0.002). Infants who received aggressive parenteral nutrition had more sepsis without reaching statistical significance and the mean phosphate level was lower than that estimated for the control group (p= 0.04). The prevalence of hypophosphatemia in this group was 90% (95% CI: 76-97%). Conclusions. Our data show an association between hypercalcemia/hypophosphatemia and aggressive parenteral nutrition. It is recommended to frequently monitor calcium and phosphate levels since they might be associated with adverse clinical outcomes.

INTRODUCTION:: The persistence of mineral metabolism disorders after renal transplant (RT) appears to possess a negative impact over graft and patient's survival. OBJECTIVES:: To evaluate the parameters of mineral metabolism and the persistence of hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in transplanted patients for a 12-month period after the procedure. METHODS:: Retrospective analysis of 41 transplants (18 women- 44%, mean age of 39 ± 15 years) performed in a University Hospital, evaluating changes of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the prevalence of persistent HPT. The patients were divided into two groups accordingly to PTH levels prior to Tx: Group 1 with PTH ≤ 300 pg/mL (n = 21) and Group 2 with PTH > 300 pg/mL (n = 20). The persistency of HPT after transplant was defined as PTH ≥ 100 pg/mL. The evolution of biochemical parameters and the persistency of HPT were analyzed in each group after 1 year of transplant. RESULTS:: After a one-year of follow up, 5% of the patients presented hypophosphatemia (p < 2.7 mg/dL), 24% hypercalcemia (Ca > 10.2 mg/dL) and 48% persistency of HPT (PTH ≥ 100 pg/mL). There was a positive correlation between the PTH pre and post Tx (r = 0.42/p = 0.006) and a negative correlation between PTH and Ca pre-Tx (r = -0.45/p = 0.002). However, there was no significant difference among groups 1 and 2 regarding PTH levels pre and post Tx. CONCLUSION:: The findings in this article suggest that mineral metabolism alterations and the persistency of HPT may occur after one year of renal Tx, mainly in patients which present high PTH levels prior toTx. INTRODUÇÃO:: A persistência de distúrbios do metabolismo mineral ósseo após o transplante renal (Tx) parece possuir um impacto negativo sobre a sobrevida do enxerto e do paciente. OBJETIVOS:: avaliar os parâmetros do metabolismo mineral e a persistência de hiperparatiroidismo (pHPT) 12 meses após o Tx. MÉTODOS:: Análise retrospectiva de 41 transplantes (18 mulheres- 44%, idade de 39 ± 15 anos) realizados em um Hospital Universitário, avaliando cálcio (Ca), fósforo (P), hormônio da paratireóide (PTH) e a prevalência de pHPT. Pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com os níveis de PTH pré Tx: Grupo 1: PTH ≤ 300 pg/ml (n = 21) e Grupo 2: PTH > 300 pg/ml (n = 20). pHPT foi definida como PTH ≥ 100pg/mL após o Tx. A evolução dos parâmetros bioquímicos e a pHPT foram analisadas após 1 ano de Tx. Resultados: após um ano, 5% dos pacientes apresentaram hipofosfatemia (p < 2,7mg/dL), 24% hipercalcemia (Ca > 10,2 mg/dL) e 48% persistência de HPT (PTH ≥ 100 pg/mL ). Houve correlação positiva entre PTH pré e pós Tx (r = 0,42/p = 0,006) e correlação negativa entre PTH e Ca pré-Tx (r = -0,45/p = 0,002). Entretanto, não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos 1 e 2 em relação aos níveis de PTH pré e pós-Tx. CONCLUSÃO:: Os resultados sugerem que alterações do metabolismo mineral e a pHPT podem ocorrer após um ano do Tx, principalmente em pacientes com níveis elevados de PTH pré-Tx.

Introducción: Con mayor aporte de proteínas y energía en la primera semana se ha observado hipofosfemia en prematuros extremos. Los menores niveles de fósforo se han presentado en prematuros con antecedentes de restricción de crecimiento intrauterino. Objetivos: Caracterizar los niveles plasmáticos bioquímicos en el cordón de prematuros extremos, nacidos adecuados (AEG) y pequeños para edad gestacional (PEG) y la relación con calcemia y fosfemia en la primera semana de vida. Pacientes y método: Estudio clínico realizado en Neonatología del Hospital Doctor Sótero del Río, en los años 2013 y 2014. Se analiza el perfil bioquímico en el cordón y la calcemia y fosfemia en los primeros 7 días de vida, registrados en la ficha clínica según fueran AEG o PEG, según las curvas de Alarcón-Pittaluga. Análisis con significación de p < 0,05. Resultados: Los niveles de colesterol, transaminasas, albúmina y creatinina fueron similares para los PEG y AEG. Los niveles de pH, fósforo, calcio, y fosfatasas alcalinas fueron menores en los PEG. El nitrógeno ureico, el ácido úrico y los triglicéridos fueron mayores en los PEG. Los PEG muestran marcada reducción de fosfemia en la primera semana, la calcemia tiende a subir proporcionalmente al descenso de la fosfemia. Conclusiones: En prematuros extremos la desnutrición intrauterina se expresa en modificación de los niveles plasmáticos de calcio, fósforo, fosfatasas alcalinas, nitrógeno ureico, ácido úrico y triglicéridos. Posnatalmente, al recibir aporte nutricional, se manifiesta una disminución de la fosfemia y un aumento de calcemia, concordante con aportes insuficientes de fósforo durante el período.
Introduction: The use of greater amounts of protein and energy during the first week of life is associated with hypophosphataemia in extreme preterm babies. The lowest phosphorus levels are described in intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) babies. Objectives: To describe biochemistry levels in cord blood plasma in extreme premature, adequate and small for gestational age babies (AGA/SGA) and their relationship with plasma calcium and phosphorus levels during the first week of life. Patients and method: A descriptive clinical study was performed in the Neonatology Service at Hospital Dr. Sótero del Río during 2013 and 2014. A biochemical analysis of cord blood was performed on 43 premature babies, as well as plasma calcium and phosphorus levels during the first week. The adequacy for gestational age was obtained using Alarcón- Pittaluga growth curves. Statistical significance was P < .05. Results: Cholesterol, transaminases, albumin and creatinine levels were similar for both AGA and SGA babies. Levels of pH, phosphorus, calcium and alkaline phosphatase were significantly lower in SGA babies. Urea nitrogen, uric acid and triglycerides levels were higher in SGA. The analysis during the first week showed a strong reduction in phosphorus levels, as well as an increase in calcium levels in proportion to the decrease in phosphorus in the SGA sub- group. Conclusions: Intrauterine malnutrition in preterm babies is expressed in the modulation of plasma levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, urea nitrogen, uric acid and triglycerides. During post-natal life, when nutritional intake begins, a decrease in phosphorus and an increase in calcium levels appear, consistent with insufficient phosphorus intake during this period.

BACKGROUND: Hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypokalemia occur in patients receiving parenteral nutrition (PN), mainly when the body's stores are depleted due to fasting or inflammation. Although these disorders are potentially fatal, few studies have reported the incidence in the pediatric population. METHODS: This study evaluated, in a historical cohort of pediatric patients, the prevalence of hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesaemia until 48 hours before initiation of PN infusion (P1) and from days 1-4 (P2) and days 5-7 (P3) of PN infusion and investigated if malnutrition, calories, and protein infusion were correlated to these disorders. RESULTS: Malnutrition was present in 32.8% (n = 119) of the subjects; 66.4% of the patients were in the pediatric intensive care unit. Survival rate was 86.6%. P1 had the highest prevalence of mineral disorders, with 54 events (58.1%; P2, n = 35, 37.6%; P3, n = 4, 4.3%). Hypokalemia events were related to malnutrition (odds ratio, 2.79; 95% confidence interval, 1.09-7.14; P = .045). In the first 7 days, infused calories were below the amount recommended by current guidelines in up to 84.9% of patients, and protein infused was adequate in up to 75.7%. Protein infused above the recommendation in the first 4 days was related to hypomagnesaemia (odds ratio, 5.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.24-25.79; P = .033). CONCLUSION: Hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia were frequent in hospitalized pediatric patients before and during the first 4 days of PN infusion. Patients with malnutrition had more chances of having hypokalemia, and those who received high protein infusion had an increased chance of developing hypomagnesemia.

INTRODUCTION: The use of greater amounts of protein and energy during the first week of life is associated with hypophosphataemia in extreme preterm babies. The lowest phosphorus levels are described in intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) babies. OBJECTIVES: To describe biochemistry levels in cord blood plasma in extreme premature, adequate and small for gestational age babies (AGA/SGA) and their relationship with plasma calcium and phosphorus levels during the first week of life. PATIENTS AND METHOD: A descriptive clinical study was performed in the Neonatology Service at Hospital Dr. Sótero del Río during 2013 and 2014. A biochemical analysis of cord blood was performed on 43 premature babies, as well as plasma calcium and phosphorus levels during the first week. The adequacy for gestational age was obtained using Alarcón- Pittaluga growth curves. Statistical significance was P<.05. RESULTS: Cholesterol, transaminases, albumin and creatinine levels were similar for both AGA and SGA babies. Levels of pH, phosphorus, calcium and alkaline phosphatase were significantly lower in SGA babies. Urea nitrogen, uric acid and triglycerides levels were higher in SGA. The analysis during the first week showed a strong reduction in phosphorus levels, as well as an increase in calcium levels in proportion to the decrease in phosphorus in the SGA sub- group. CONCLUSIONS: Intrauterine malnutrition in preterm babies is expressed in the modulation of plasma levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, urea nitrogen, uric acid and triglycerides. During post-natal life, when nutritional intake begins, a decrease in phosphorus and an increase in calcium levels appear, consistent with insufficient phosphorus intake during this period.

OBJECTIVE: To report the prevalence of hypophosphatemia during the first week of life in preterm infants receiving aggressive parenteral nutrition and to analyze population variables associated with severe hypophosphatemia. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort of 61 neonates below 1250 g birth weight consecutively born at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires exposed to high caloric and protein intake from the first day of birth. Primary outcome was hypophosphatemia (phosphate <4 mg dl(-1)). A one-sample mean comparison test was used to compare our sample with a hypothesized population mean. RESULTS: The prevalence of hypophosphatemia was 91% (95% confidence interval (CI) 82 to 97%). The mean phosphatemia value was 2.52 mg dl(-1) (95% CI 2.18 to 2.86), significantly different from the hypothesized population mean (P<0.001). Patients with severe hypophosphatemia (<2 mg dl(-1)) were smaller. They presented with sepsis more frequently and received more vasoactive drugs and mechanical ventilation. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of hypophosphatemia in this group of preterm infants is high. The potential association with adverse clinical outcomes deserves further research.

This trial aimed to compare the dialysis complications occurring during different durations of extended daily dialysis (EDD) sessions in critically ill AKI patients. We included patients older than 18 years with AKI associated with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit and using noradrenaline dose ranging from 0.3 to 0.7 µg/kg/min. Patients were divided into two groups randomly: in G1, 6 h sessions were performed and, in G2, 10 h sessions were performed. Seventy-five patients were treated with 195 EDD sessions for 18 consecutive months. The prevalence of hypotension, filter clotting, hypokalaemia, and hypophosphataemia was 82.6, 25.3, 20, and 10.6%, respectively. G1 and G2 were similar in male predominance and SOFA. There was no significant difference between the two groups in hypotension, filter clotting, hypokalaemia, and hypophosphataemia. However, the group treated with sessions of 10 hours showed higher refractory to clinical measures for hypotension and dialysis sessions were interrupted more often. Metabolic control and fluid balance were similar between G1 and G2. In conclusion, intradialysis hypotension was common in AKI patients treated with EDD. There was no difference in the prevalence of dialysis complications in patients undergoing different durations of EDD.

BACKGROUND: Hypophosphatemia is a disorder with potential complications and is often unrecognized in critically ill patients. AIMS: To identify the prevalence of hypophosphatemia and risk factors associated to this disorder in critically ill children. METHODS: In a prospective cohort study, 82 children admitted consecutively to a pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) were monitored regarding phosphorus serum levels during the first 10 days of admission. The following variables were analyzed as independent for hypophosphatemia: age, gender, diagnosis at admission, malnutrition, phosphorus intake, clinical severity score at admission (pediatric index of mortality 2) and daily scores (Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction), sepsis, use of dopamine, furosemide and steroids, starvation period, and refeeding. Children with a z score of less than -2 of expected weight for age or body mass index (National Center for Health Statistics, 2000) were considered malnourished. Variables significantly associated with hypophosphatemia by bivariate analysis (p < 0.1) were included in a multiple logistic regression model. RESULTS: The rate of hypophosphatemia was 61% during the first 10 days of pediatric ICU stay, and 12 patients developed hypophosphatemia during the study period. Malnutrition was present in 39.1% of patients, and the sera phosphorus concentration was significantly lower in malnourished than in well-nourished children (2.6 +/- 0.7 mg/dL vs. 3.5 +/- 0.8 mg/dL, p = 0.01). The multiple logistic regression model indicated the diagnosis of acute respiratory disease (odds ratio: 3.22; confidence interval: 1.03-10.1; p = 0.04), use of dopamine (odds ratio: 8.65; confidence interval: 1.58-47.3; p = 0.01), and malnutrition (odds ratio: 3.96; confidence interval: 1.19-13.3; p = 0.02) as independent risk factors for hypophosphatemia. None of the other potential risk factors discriminated for hypophosphatemia. CONCLUSIONS: Hypophosphatemia was common in the first 10 days of ICU hospitalization and was associated with the diagnosis of respiratory disease, use of dopamine, and malnutrition. These factors should be taken into account during clinical follow up of critically ill children, especially when these conditions are found together.

The aims of this study were to estimate the occurrence of hypophosphatemia and to identify potential risk factors and outcome measures associated with this disturbance in children admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit. Data concerning 42 children admitted consecutively to 1 pediatric intensive care unit over a 1-year period were examined. Serum phosphorus levels were measured on the third day of admission, where levels below 3.8 mg/dL were considered indicative of hypophosphatemia. Hypophosphatemia was found in 32 children (76%), and there was a significant association between this disturbance and malnutrition (P = .04). Of the potential risk factors such as sepsis, diuretic/steroid therapy, starvation (over 3 days), and Pediatric Index of Mortality, none discriminated for hypophosphatemia. There were no associations between hypophosphatemia and mortality, length of stay in the pediatric intensive care unit, or time on mechanical lung ventilation. Hypophosphatemia was a common finding in critically ill children and was associated with malnutrition.
