AbstractDuodenal ulcer (DU) is the most common gastroscopic manifestation of abdominal Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), which may cause severe bleeding and often requires esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) to confirm the diagnosis. However, the condition of children with HSP changes rapidly; not all children are able to undergo EGD on time, and some hospitals do not have a pediatric EGD unit. Therefore, assessing the risk factors for developing DU in HSP using simple and readily available indicators is essential. Children with HSP at Wuhan Children Hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were included in the training set and completed EGD. The patients were divided into 2 groups: those with (DU group) and without DU (non-DU group). Data were collected from the 2 groups, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to compare the 2 groups. Children with HSP admitted between July 2022 and June 2023 were included in the validation set. Four indicators, prognostic nutrition index, albumin (ALB), gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, and duration of onset before EGD, were found in the DU and non-DU groups. GI bleeding and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) ≤ 53.0 have strong predictability for patients with HSP and DU. GI bleeding and PNI ≤ 53.0 may provide new reference evidence for condition assessment and treatment.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
