Diagnostic accuracy of clinical indicators of Imbalanced nutrition in pediatric patients submitted to chemotherapy.

To analyze the accuracy of clinical indicators of nursing diagnosis, Imbalanced nutrition: less than the body requirements in pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a pediatric oncohematology unit. A total of 123 children aged 5-18 years were evaluated. The Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (STARD) protocol was used. Latent class analysis was performed to obtain sensitivity and specificity of clinical indicators. The diagnosis was identified in six children (5.23%). The most frequent clinical indicator in the study was report of food intake less than recommended daily allowance (n = 61; 49.6%), followed by excessive hair loss (n = 49; 39.8%), misperception (n = 42; 34.1%), satiety immediately upon ingesting food (n = 32; 26%), lack of information (n = 30; 24.4%), and pale mucous membranes (n = 22; 17.9%). The 10 indicators that sensitivity and specificity were statistically superior to 50% were food intake less than recommended daily allowance, misperception, insufficient interest in food, lack of food, hyperactive bowel sounds, body weight 20% or more below ideal weight range, insufficient muscle tone, food aversion, abdominal cramping, and misinformation. The clinical indicators Food intake less than recommended daily allowance and Misperception can be considered the most important indicators for the initial inference of the diagnosis due to their high values of specificity and sensitivity. It is essential that nurses provide targeted and qualified assistance based on the signs and symptoms presented by patients, as they will be able to design appropriate interventions to obtain the desired results.

Prognostic indicators of short-term survival of ineffective airway clearance in children with acute respiratory infection: a longitudinal study.

Background: Studies that establish the indicators of clinical status deterioration of Ineffective airway clearance remain scarce. Prognostic studies provide data for nurses identify clinical indicators that suggest a higher chance of early development of a nursing diagnosis. Objective: To identify the prognostic indicators of short-term survival of ineffective airway clearance (IAC) in children with acute respiratory infection (ARI). Design: A prospective open cohort study. Methods: This study was with a group of 136 children with acute respiratory infection who were followed for a minimum of six and a maximum of ten consecutive days. Children who had not completed six days of monitoring or who were carriers of diseases that would alter the specific symptoms of respiratory infection were excluded. The survival rate of ineffective airway clearance was calculated using Nelson-Aalen's method. A Cox regression model was used to analyze the influence of clinical indicators on survival time of this diagnosis. Results: The diagnosis survival rate was extremely low (only 0.4% on the 5th day of follow-up). The greatest reduction in survival rate was observed in the first 48 h (survival rate = 2.5%). Four defining characteristics associated with a worse prognosis of IAC among children with ARI: ineffective cough (RR = 5.86; 95% CI: 3.53-9.72), absence of cough (RR = 2.92; 95% CI: 1.68-5.08), adventitious breath sounds (RR = 2.47; 95% CI: 2.01-3.03), and diminished breath sounds (RR = 1.23; 95% CI: 1.05-1.45). Conclusion: Four clinical indicators showed a strong relationship with an increased risk of worsening clinical status associated with this nursing diagnosis. Impact statement: Clinical deterioration related to ineffective airway clearance among children with acute respiratory infection is fast and requires particular attention from nurses.

O estudo teve como objetivo verificar as características definidoras com melhor poder de predição para auxiliar na classificação de Padrão respiratório ineficaz, utilizando árvores de classificação, em crianças com infecção respiratória aguda. Estudo transversal, realizado em dois hospitais pediátricos juntamente a 249 crianças com infecção respiratória aguda. Para a coleta, foi utilizado um instrumento específico desenvolvido para o estudo. Empregaram-se três algoritmos de indução para a geração das árvores, CHi-square Automatic Interaction Detection, Classification and Regression Treese Quick, Unbiased, Efficient Statistical Tree. Construíram-se três árvores para auxiliar na identificação de Padrão Respiratório ineficaz. As árvores de classificação geradas apresentam probabilidades condicionais à ocorrência do diagnóstico associada a dispneia e alterações na profundidade respiratória. Padrão respiratório ineficaz esteve presente 65,5% da amostra. Assim, a probabilidade da ocorrência do referido diagnóstico nas crianças com infecção respiratória aguda foi de 100% com a presença de dispneia e de alterações na profundidade respiratória.

The objective of the study was to verify defining characteristics with greater predictive power to aid in the classification of ineffective breathing pattern using classification trees in children with acute respiratory infections. A cross-sectional study was carried out in two pediatric hospitals with 249 children with acute respiratory infection. For data collection, a specific instrument developed for the study was used. Three induction algorithms were used to generate the trees: Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection, Classification and Regression Trees, and Quick, Unbiased, Efficient Statistical Tree. Three trees were constructed to aid in the identification of ineffective breathing pattern. The classification trees generated present probabilities conditionalto the occurrence of the diagnosis associated with dyspnea and changes in respiratory depth. Ineffective breathing pattern was present in 65.5% of the sample. Thus, the probability of occurrence of this diagnosis in children with acute respiratory infection was 100% with the presence of dyspnea and changes in respiratory depth.

Clinical Differentiation of Respiratory Nursing Diagnoses among Children with Acute Respiratory Infection.

The aim of this study was to identify the defining characteristics that allow clinical differentiation of the nursing diagnoses, ineffective breathing pattern (IBP), ineffective airway clearance (IAC), and impaired gas exchange (IGE). A secondary analysis with a cohort design was developed from 1128 records obtained during the hospital stay of 136 children with acute respiratory infection. Groups of defining characteristics with greater differentiation capacity were identified by multiple correspondence analyses. The results showed that the defining characteristics that better differentiate the studied diagnoses are agitation, irritability and diaphoresis for IGE; dyspnea, use of accessory muscles to breathe, orthopnea, and abnormal breathing pattern for IBP and excessive sputum, absence of cough, difficulty verbalizing, nasal flaring, and adventitious breath sounds for IAC. Twelve defining characteristics that can assist clinicians to differentiate the three main respiratory nursing diagnoses among children with acute respiratory infection were identified in this study.
