Introduction: Sepsis is more common in males than females, but whether outcomes differ by sex in various pediatric age groups is unclear. The Life After Pediatric Sepsis Evaluation (LAPSE) was a multicenter prospective cohort study that evaluated health-related quality of life (HRQL) in children after community-acquired septic shock. In this secondary analysis, we evaluated whether male children are at increased risk of mortality or long-term decline in HRQL than female children by age group. Methods: Children (1 month–18 years) with community-acquired septic shock were recruited from 12 pediatric intensive care units in the U.S. Data included sex, age group (<1 year, 1–<13 years, 13–18 years), acute illness severity (acute organ dysfunction and inflammation), and longitudinal assessments of HRQL and mortality. Persistent decline in HRQL was defined as a 10% decrease in HRQL comparing baseline to 3 months following admission. Male and female children were stratified by age group and compared to evaluate the difference in the composite outcome of death or persistent decline in HRQL using the Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel test. Results: Of 389 children, 54.2% (n = 211) were male. Overall, 10% (21/211) of males and 12% (22/178) of females died by 3 months (p = 0.454). Among children with follow-up data, 41% (57/138) of males and 44% (48/108) of females died or had persistent decline in HRQL at 3 months (p = 0.636), with no observed difference by sex when stratified by age group. There was no significant difference in acute illness severity between males and females overall or stratified by age group. Conclusions: In this secondary analysis of the LAPSE cohort, HRQL, and mortality were not different between male and female children when stratified by age group. There were no significant differences by sex across multiple measures of illness severity or treatment intensity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
