phosphorus levels were detected. The children were divided into ≤1 year old group, >1‑3 years old group, and >3 years old group, and the occurrence of adverse reactions in different age groups were compared. Results A total of 81 children were enrolled in the analysis, including 54 males and 27 females, aged 0.4 to 15.4 years, with 10 cases in the ≤1 year old group, 46 in the >1 to 3 years old group, and 25 in the >3 years old group. After medication in the 81 children, fever with temperature ≥38.0 ℃ occurred 53 times in 34 children (42.0%), of which 39 times were grade 1 (38.0‑39.0 ℃) and 14 times were grade 2 (>39.0‑40.0 ℃). The incidence of fever on the day after the 2nd dose was significantly higher than that after the 1st and 3rd doses (all P<0.05). The differences in the incidence of fever and the degree of fever among the 3 groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The temperature of children with fever decreased to below 38.0 ℃ within 1‑16 hours after drug‑therapy or physical cooling. After the 3rd dose of treatment, the levels of serum calcium and phosphorus were significantly lower than those before administration [(2.06± 0.17) mmol/L vs. (2.42±0.12) mmol/L, (1.01±0.23)mmol/L vs. (1.71±0.18)mmol/L, all P<0.001]. The inci‑ dences of hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia were 56.8% (46/81) and 19.8% (16/81) respectively, but none of patients with hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia had obvious related symptoms. Conclusions Pami‑ dronate disodium is safe as adjunctive therapy in children with CPT. The main adverse reactions are fever, asymptomatic hypocalcemia, and hypophosphatemia. Fever can be recovered quickly after intervention, and the levels of serum calcium and phosphorus can return to within the normal range after drug withdrawal. 【Key words】 Pseudarthrosis; Congenital abnormalities; Child; Pamidronate; Drug‑related side effects and adverse reactions Fund programs: Natural Science Foundation of China Hunan Province (2019JJ80041); Scientific Research Project of China Hunan Provincial Health Commission (20200647) DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn114015‑20210101‑00001
