%X OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical application of delayed repeated air enema (DRE) with sedation in pediatric intussusception.
METHODS: We retrospectively assessed cases of idiopathic intussusception treated with air enema reduction at the emergency department of Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to August 2019. The included cases were assigned to the success or failure groups based on the outcomes of DRE with sedation. General patient information, clinical manifestations, test results, and surgical conditions were collected for comparative analysis.
RESULTS: A total of 3052 cases were initially diagnosed with intussusception and underwent air enema reduction. Ultimately, 211 cases were included, with 162 in the success group and 49 in the failure group. The success rate of DRE with sedation was 76.8% (162/211), with an overall reduction success rate of 97.8% (2984/3052). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients in the failure group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with age ≤1 year, bloody stools, and left-sided intussusception before DRE compared to the success group (OR = 2.3, 95%CI: 1.1∼4.6, P = 0.023; OR = 3.4, 95%CI: 1.6∼7.2, P = 0.002 and OR = 12.6, 95%CI: 4.6∼34.6, P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis based on these three factors revealed that the risk of DRE failure was 10.1 times higher in cases with the left-sided intussusception before DRE.
CONCLUSIONS: DRE with sedation can improve the overall enema reduction success rate for intussusception and has good feasibility and safety profiles. Left-sided intussusception before DRE is an independent risk factor for enema failure.
