Abstract

Objective: Apnea is a common problem in newborns however its clinical outcome is not known well in otherwisehealthy newborns. This study is aimed to evaluate the long-term neurodevelopmental outcome of otherwisehealthy newborns presenting with apnea.Method: This study was conducted on 59 children who were hospitalized in neonatal period and consulted with apediatric neurologist because of apneaResults: Complete blood counts, C-reactive protein, serum electrolyte and blood glucose levels were within normallevels. Only in one patient, cranial magnetic resonance imaging revealed bleeding in the right temporal lobe.Antiepileptic drug was initiated in 3 (5%) patients with abnormal electroencephalography findings. After dischargefrom hospital, no patient had recurrent episodes of apnea. Their median follow-up time was 34 months (IQR:24-41). All patients showed normal psychomotor development. In our study the most common presentation ofapnea was a brief resolved unexplained event (BRUE).Conclusion: Our study has shown that the vast majority of apneic events are self-limiting and require no intervention in otherwise healthy term newborns.

Özet

Amaç: Apne, yenidoğanlarda sık görülen bir sorundur ancak sağlıklı yenidoğanlarda nörogelişimsel sonuçları iyi bilinmemektedir. Bu çalışmada, apne başvuran diğer yönlerden sağlıklı yenidoğanların uzun dönem nörogelişimsel sonuçlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya, yenidoğan döneminde hastaneye yatırılan ve apne nedeni ile pediatrik nöroloğa danışılan 59 çocuk dahil edildi. Bulgular: Tüm hastaların, tam kan sayımı, C-reaktif protein, serum elektrolitleri ve kan glukozu normaldi. Sadece bir hastada kraniyal manyetik rezonans görüntülemede sağ temporal lobda kanama görüldü. Anormal EEG bulguları olan 3 (%5) hastada antiepileptik ilaç başlanmıştı. Taburculuk sonrası hiçbir hastada tekrarlayan apne atağı görülmedi. Klinik izlem medyan süresi 34 ay (IQR: 24-41) idi. Tüm hastalarda normal nöromotor gelişim gözlendi. Çalışmamızda, en sık görülen apne prezentasyonu kısa çözümlenmiş açıklanamayan olay (BRUE) idi. Sonuç: Çalışmamız, diğer yönlerden sağlıklı term yenidoğan bebeklerde apneik olayların büyük çoğunluğunun kendi kendini sınırlandırdığını ve müdahale gerektirmediğini gösterdi.
