description Abstract Background The risk factors for mucus plug in children with adenovirus (ADV) pneumonia. Methods and materials A retrospective analysis was conducted of children diagnosed ADV pneumonia and underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy admitted to the Xiamen Children's Hospital from September 2018 to September 2021.The patients were divided into a mucus plug group (39 cases) and a non-mucus plug group (53 cases). The children's data including sex, age, clinical presentation, laboratory test parameters, imaging and bronchoscopic data were collected. The risk factors for the development of airway mucus plug were analysed by multifactorial logistic regression. Results There were no statistically significant differences in sex, age, fever, hospitalization days, mixed infection, white blood cells (WBC) count, percentage of neutrophils (NE%), C-reactive protein(CRP), and D-dimer (all P > 0.05); Thermal range, procalcitonin (PCT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Pleural effusion and associated decreased breath sounds was significantly higher in mucus plug group than in non-mucus plug group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of fever, PCT, and LDH were independent risk factors for the formation of mucus plugs. The critical values of ROC curves were pyroprocedure ≥ 6.5 d, PCT ≥ 0.705 ng/ml and LDH ≥ 478.5 U/L. Conclusion Duration of fever, PCT and LDH levels were the independent risk factors for the formation of an airway mucus plug in children with ADV pneumonia.
