Abstract:

Objective To explore the expression level and correlations of vitamin D in children with acute inflammation complicated by anemia, so as to provide a basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of this condition in children. Methods The children aged 1-14 years who were treated at the Department of Pediatrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University between October 2023 and March 2025 were prospectively recruited as the research subjects. Among them, there were 100 cases in the group of acute inflammation complicated by anemia, 100 cases in the group of acute inflammation without anemia, and 100 cases in the healthy control group. The clinical data and laboratory parameters of the three groups of children were measured and compared. Multivariate linear regression analysis was employed to explore the influencing factors for the occurrence of acute inflammation complicated by anemia in children and to investigate the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and acute inflammation complicated by anemia in children. Results The levels of 25(OH)D and Hb in the group of acute inflammation with anemia and the group of acute inflammation without anemia were lower than those in the healthy control group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Comparing the group of acute inflammation with anemia with the group of acute inflammation without anemia, the differences in the levels of CRP, PCT, and 25(OH)D were statistically significant. When the above indicators were introduced into the multivariate Logistic regression analysis model, the analysis results showed that low 25(OH)D level, and high CRP and PCT levels were risk factors for the occurrence of acute inflammation with anemia in children, and the thresholds of the three were 48.25 μg/L, 27.76 ng/L, and 0.91 mg/L, respectively; their AUCs were 0.850, 0.705, and 0.754, respectively, and the area under the curve of the combined application was 0.913, which indicated that the diagnostic efficiency of the combined application of the three was higher. Conclusions Low vitamin D levels and high inflammatory mediator levels are risk factors for the incidence of acute inflammation complicated by anemia. Vitamin D supplementation may contribute to reducing the incidence of acute inflammation complicated by anemia.
