Abstract

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 104 children hospitalized for pediatric neurosurgical diseases in Baotou Fourth Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College, Baotou Central Hospital and other hospitals from 2018 to 2020. Methods: The clinical data of hospitalized children with pediatric neurosurgery diseases in the above hospitals from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The general situation, disease distribution, disease assessment, diagnosis and treatment methods, discharge GOS score (glasgow outcome scale) and other clinical data were summarized and analyzed. Results: (1) A total of 104 patients were enrolled, with an average age of (8.3±3.9) years. (2) The number of inpatients with cerebrovascular disease was 54 cases (51.90%). The number of hospitalized patients with traumatic brain injury was 50 cases (48.10%). (3) The main cause of hospitalization was trauma, the number of cases was 103 cases (99.04%), and the number of non-traumatic factors was 1 (0.86%). (4) 101 cases (97.16%) were treated with conservative treatment, 3 cases (2.84%) were treated with surgical treatment. (5) Most of the hospitalized children were emergency and critical cases, with a total of 80 cases (76.92%), and 24 cases (23.08%) had general clinical classification. (6) In cerebrovascular disease, epidural hemorrhage was 21 cases (38.90%). In traumatic diseases, 22 cases (44.00%) had head and facial soft tissue injuries. Conclusion: Through the epidemiological analysis of the hospitalized children in the pediatric neurosurgery department of the above hospitals, it is found that the majority of the children admitted to the above hospitals are acute traumatic brain injury. After active professional treatment, the prognosis of the children is good.
