A case of uterine sarcoma with pazopanib-induced reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome

Abstract

which were recorded every day until the discharge of children. Descriptive statistics, parametric and non-parametric correlation analyses and linear regression were carried out (SPSS 24.0, p0.05). Results: The mean age was 67.29(±67.21) months and 50% were male. The main diagnoses on admission were postoperative monitoring (31.0%) and medical conditions (69.0%). The observed mortality rate was 3.8%. The mean(±SD) score was 72.86(±18.83) for P-NAS, 24.62(±8.15) for TISS-28 and 6.28(±6.93) for PELOD. PELOD scores were significantly correlated with TISS-28 (rho¼0.539, p<0.001) and P-NAS (rho¼0.297, p¼0.024). Age was significantly correlated only with TISS-28 (rho¼0.334, p<0.001). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that only PELOD score independently predicted TISS28 score (b¼0.520, p¼0.001). Conclusion: Increased severity of paediatric patients is associated with increased nursing workload in PICUs. These results can inform staffing decisions in Greek PICUs.
