To evaluate the effect of intraoperative fluid type [half-normal saline (0.45NS) or lactated Ringer's solution (LR)] on the risk of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and acute kidney injury after total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation in children.
Retrospective review where demographics, operative details, systemic inflammatory response, and evaluation for end-organ dysfunction over the first 5 postoperative days was obtained. Mixed-effects Poisson regression compared risk of SIRS and acute kidney injury by intraoperative fluid type.
Forty-three patients were included with no difference in demographic characteristics between groups. SIRS was observed in 95%, 77%, and 71% over post-operative days 1, 3, and 5. Intraoperative fluid type was found to not be associated with postoperative SIRS (RR: 0.91, p=0.23). However, female sex (RR: 1.30, p
