Risk factors for recurrence following surgical treatment of pediatric hepatic hydatid disease.
Observational study in Pediatric surgery international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPostoperative recurrence remains a major challenge following surgical treatment of pediatric hepatic hydatid disease, particularly in endemic regions. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of postoperative recurrence in children undergoing surgery for hepatic hydatid disease.
methodsThis retrospective observational cohort study included consecutive children who underwent surgical treatment for hepatic hydatid disease between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2024. Postoperative recurrence was defined as the appearance of new hydatid cysts in the liver or abdominal cavity during follow-up after an initial disease-free period.
resultsA total of 115 children were included, with a median age of 8 years and a nearly equal sex distribution. Postoperative recurrence occurred in 21 patients (18.3%) after a mean interval of 3.1 ± 1 years. Recurrence was hepatic, intraperitoneal, or combined. In univariate analysis, preoperative fever, elevated eosinophil count, prolonged operative duration, and omentoplasty were associated with recurrence. In multivariate analysis, two factors emerged as independent predictors: peripheral blood eosinophil count > 1 × 10⁹/L (OR 11.94, 95% CI 2.86-49.83; p = 0.001) and operative duration > 150 min (OR 7.29, 95% CI 1.66-31.96; p = 0.008).
conclusionRecurrence after pediatric hepatic hydatid surgery remains frequent. Beyond operative duration, eosinophilia emerges as a novel and independent predictor of recurrence, suggesting a potential role for biological markers in perioperative risk stratification and long-term follow-up.
