Abstract

Background: Only sparse data exist about children with septic shock in Europe. The present study aimed to evaluate demographics, treatment, outcome and risk factors for mortality in Western Germany. Patients: Children with septic shock aged 2 months to 17 years. Methods: In a multi-center retrospective study of 20 children's hospitals data were obtained and analyzed by chart review. Risk factors for mortality were identified and assessed by multivariate regression analysis. Results: Overall mortality in 83 cases with septic shock was 25 % (21 patients). Significant risk factors were high PRISM III score, low pH, low arterial systolic blood pressure, presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation and extent of multi-organ failure, but not lactate (p = 0.05) and base excess (p = 0.065). Mortality in hospitals which treated 10 or more patients (category 1) was 17 % and increased to 22 % in hospitals which treated 3-6 patients (category 2). In hospitals with only 1 or 2 patients (category 3) mortality rate was 61 % (p < 0.01 when compared to category 1 or 2). A stepwise increase was also seen in the severely sick patients according to PRISM III (> 19): category 1: 23 %, category 2: 40 %, category 3: 62.5 % (p < 0.05 for comparison of category 1 and 3). Multivariate analysis of significant risk factors revealed low number of treated patients as the only individual risk factor for mortality. Conclusion: Mortality from pediatric septic shock in an urban area in Western Germany is high. Disease severity and treatment in a department with few cases were associated with increased mortality.
