While most cases resolve with nonsurgical methods, some require surgical intervention.

Patients were categorized into surgical and nonsurgical groups. Ultrasound examinations were performed by staff radiologists at our hospital with patients in the supine position using high-frequency linear probes. Demographic data and imaging features (segment length, type) were recorded. Data were analyzed in Python 3.10 using \u03c7\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      tests, ROC analysis, and multivariable logistic regression (statsmodels, no regularization). ORs with 95% CIs were obtained, the optimal cutoff was determined by the Youden index, and bootstrap resampling was used to account for the limited number of surgical events.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 101 patients (53 males, 48 females; median age, 2.5\u00a0years (range, 0.5-15 years)) were included. Ileocolic intussusception was the most common type (n=60, 59.4%). Overall, 18 patients (17.8%) required surgical intervention, while 83 (82.2%) were managed nonsurgically. When stratified by type, surgical intervention was required in 21% (13\/60; 95% CI, 11%-30%) of ileocolic intussusceptions and 12% (5\/41; 95% CI, 5.3%-25.5%) of small-bowel intussusceptions. The median length of the intussuscepted segment was significantly greater in the surgical group [55\u00a0mm (IQR, 32.5 to 90)] than in the nonsurgical group [25\u00a0mm (IQR, 15 to 40);\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001].
