Conclusions: We expect that the mortality ratio of 25.5% will decrease parallel to the improvement in prenatal care, incareased usage of steroids, neduction of neonatal infections, and improvement of transportation conditions.

Abstract

Aim: The very low birth weight patients in Neonatal ‹ntensive Care Unit (NCIU) have been retrospectively analyzed in order to identify the ratio of morbidity and mortality. Material and Method: In this study 94 very low birth weight premature babies, which were hospitalized in a two year period in our NICU and compatible with our study criteria were evaluated. The input data (gestational age, birth weight, perinatal risk factors, hospital stay, surfactant therapy, mechanical ventilation strategies, respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, necrotizing enterocolitis, chronic lung disease and retinopathy of prematurity) of these babies were recorded and analyzed statistically. Results: In our study the mortality ratio of very low birth weight infants was found to be 25.5%.The most common maternal risk factor was preeclampsia/eclampsia 26.3% which was compatible with the data of NICHD Neonatal Network Group. The ratios of RDS were found as 100% in group 1, 93.8% in group 2, 78.3% in group 3 and 47.6% in group 4 and there was no significant difference in gender distribution between RDS (+) and RDS (-) groups (p=0.191). However probability of RDS in male premature babies was found 1.81 (0.74-4.42) times more risky than female premature babies. Conclusions: We expect that the mortality ratio of 25.5% will decrease parallel to the improvement in prenatal care, incareased usage of steroids, neduction of neonatal infections, and improvement of transportation conditions.

Özet

Amaç: Hastanemiz yenidoğan yoğun bakım birimindeki çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı hastaların hastalık ve ölüm oranlarını belirlemek amacıyla hastalar geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastanemiz yenidoğan yoğun bakım biriminde iki yıl içerisinde yatarak tedavi alan çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı erken doğmuş bebekler arasında çalışma ölçütlerine uyan 94 olgu çalışmaya alındı. Bu olguların verileri (gebelik yaşı, doğum tartısı, perinatal risk etmenleri, hastanede yatış süreleri, sürfaktan tedavisi, mekanik ventilasyon uygulamaları, sıkıntılı solunum sendromu (SSS), ventriküler içi kanama, periventriküler lökomalasi, nekrotizan enterokolit, kronik akciğer hastalığı ve prematüre retinopatisi) kaydedilip istatistiksel incelemeleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerde ölüm oranı %25,5 olarak bulundu. En sık karşılaşılan anneye ait risk etkenleri preeklampsi/eklampsi (%26,3) olup sonuçlarımız “NICHD Neonatal Network” grubunun verileri ile uyumluydu. Çalışmamızda grup1’de SSS oranı %100, grup 2’de %93,8, grup 3’te %78,3 ve grup 4’te ise %47,6 olup SSS (+) ve SSS (-) gruplarının cinsiyet dağılımları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gözlenmedi (p=0,19). Ancak erkek bebeklerde SSS (+) olasılığı kız bebeklerden 1,81 (0,74-4,42) kat riskli bulundu. Çıkarımlar: Birimimizde % 25,5 olarak belirlediğimiz ölüm oranının doğum öncesi bakım şartlarının düzeltilmesi, steroid kullanımının artması, doğum öncesi bakım eksikliği nedeniyle sık karşılaştığımız erken yenidoğan enfeksiyonların azalması ve nakil koşullarının düzeltilmesi ile daha iyiye gideceği kanısındayız.
