Risk factors and predictive model for pediatric influenza-associated encephalopathy symptoms: a retrospective study

Independent risk factors for IAES children with symptoms of fever and convulsions include an increased number of convulsions, the timing of the first convulsion during the course of the fever, elevated respiratory rate, increased procalcitonin, decreased albumin, and a reduction in the CD4+/CD8 + ratio. The nomogram model developed in this study assists clinicians in assessing the risk of IAES children and provides guidance for early intervention and clinical decision-making in IAES.
