Topic Overview

Retrospective study from Boston Children's Hospital (2008-2021) identified three risk factors predicting severe injury after button battery ingestion in children: esophageal location at presentation, battery diameter >2cm, and presence of initial symptoms. The risk score helps clinicians stratify 143 cases, of which 24 developed serious complications.

Key Takeaways

  • Esophageal location of button battery at presentation is a key risk factor for severe injury
  • Button batteries >2cm diameter significantly increase risk of serious complications
  • Presence of symptoms at initial presentation predicts severe injury outcomes
  • 24 of 143 patients (17%) developed severe injuries from button battery ingestion
  • Three-factor risk score can stratify patients for urgent intervention vs observation
