Objective To investigate the risk factors associated with recurrence after air enema (AE) reduction in pediatric primary intussusception (PPI). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of children with primary intussusception who underwent air enema reduction in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. A total of 1,449 cases were included and divided into a recurrence group (181 cases) and a non-recurrence group (1,268 cases) based on whether recurrence occurred within 72 h after AE reduction. Clinical data were collected for retrospective analysis. Age, sex, disease duration, mass diameter, ileocecal edema, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloody stool, somnolence, recent history of respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection, white blood cell count, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were compared between two groups. Logistic regression analysis, Spearman analysis, and ROC curve analysis were used to identify factors associated with recurrence after AE reduction in primary intussusception and explore their correlations. Results There were no significant differences in age, sex, disease duration, ileocecal edema, vomiting, abdominal pain, somnolence, or white blood cell count between recurrence and non-recurrence groups (all P>0.05). There were significant differences in recent history of respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection, CRP level, bloody stool, and mass diameter (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that recent history of respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection, CRP level, bloody stool, and mass diameter were independent risk factors for recurrence after AE reduction (OR=1.513, 1.545, 1.685, 2.018; all P<0.05). Spearman analysis indicated significant correlations between these factors and recurrence after AE reduction (r=0.221, 0.364, 0.238, 0.412; all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that these factors had predictive value for recurrence (AUC=0.711, 0.675, 0.693, 0.604; all P<0.05). Conclusions Recent history of respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection, CRP level, bloody stool, and mass diameter are closely associated with recurrence after AE reduction in primary intussusception. Independent risk factors may include recent viral infection, elevated CRP level, bloody stool, and mass diameter >35 mm.
