Epidemiology and prognosis of pediatric acute myocarditis: a 5-year retrospective study in Shiraz, South of Iran running title: pediatric acute myocarditis in Iran
The identification of hepatomegaly and reduced ejection fraction as potential prognostic indicators represents a significant contribution to the field. These findings may assist clinicians in recognizing high-risk patients who require more aggressive treatment and closer monitoring. Patients with elevated inotrope scores are more likely to necessitate mechanical ventilation and cardioversion.
