J Pediatr: The study identified risk factors associated with bacterial meningitis outcomes in children

The study, which aims to explore risk factors for poor clinical outcomes in patients with bacterial meningitis in children, was published online online in J Pediatr (Rio J).
searched the Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE and LILACS through literature searches;
methodologically screened, 17 studies met the criteria for this systematic review.
study assessed 9,581 patients between the ages of 0 and 18 and suggested several credible and important prognostic factors to predict adverse outcomes after bacterial meningitis in children.
diagnosis reduces the chance of improvement and underlines the importance of high levels of suspicion in the early stages of meningitis.
confirmed that bicobacteria pneumoniae as a pathogenic bacteria is related to the clinical severity of meningitis.
, the results suggest that poor early prediction may help determine which children need deeper or longer follow-up and provide evidence for doctors to counsel parents about their child's prognosmability in the early stages of the disease.
