Amaç: Bu çalışmada Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Kliniği (KHDK)’nde doğan veya başka merkezde doğup, Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi (YYBÜ)’ne yatırılan geç prematüre yenidoğanların [34(0/7) ile 36(6/7) gebelik haftasında doğma] morbiditelerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Metod: 1 Ocak-31Aralık 2007 tarihleri arasında YYBÜ’de yatırılarak tedavi alan geç prematüre bebeklerde, anne yaşı, paritesi, yardımcı üreme tekniği varlığı, gebelik haftası, doğum şekli, doğum ağırlığı, neonataldönem sorunları ve yatış nedenleri, hastanede yatış süresi ile tekrar hastaneye yatış oranları KHDK ve YYBÜ hasta kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelenerek araştırıldı. Sonuçlar: 1 Ocak-31 Aralık 2007 tarihleri arasında KHDK’nde doğan 1852 bebeğin 1556 (%84)’sı zamanında, 296 (%16)’sı prematüre doğdu. Geç prematüre doğan 174 bebek doğumların %9.4’ünü oluşturmaktaydı. Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesine yatış sayı ve oranları, zamanında doğan bebeklerde ve geç prematürelerde sırasıyla 155 (%10) ve 63 (%36.2) bulundu. Yatırılan toplam 80 geç prematürenin 17’si dış merkezden kabul edilmişti. Geç prematüre bebeklerin annelerinin ortalama yaşı 29.3±5.3’tü ve %37.4’ü primipar idi. Neonatal dönem sorunlarından en sık %37.5 ile indirekt hiperbilirubinemi daha sonra; solunum sıkıntısı %30, hipoglisemi %22.5 bebekte saptandı. Tartışma ve Sonuç: Zamanında doğan bebeklerle karşılaştırıldığında geç prematüre bebeklerde hastaneye yatış oranı yaklaşık 4 kat fazladır. Geç prematüre bebeklerde yatış gerektiren önemli morbiditeler indirekt hiperbilirubinemi ve solunum sıkıntısıdır. Doğum kliniklerinde bu bebekler potansiyel morbiditeleri ve YYBÜ’ne yatış olasılıkları göz ardı edilmeden yakın izlenmelidir.
Objective: To investigate the morbidity pattern of late preterm infants (born between 34(0/7) and 36(6/7)) born in Obstetric and Gynecology Department or in an another hospital and admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Methods: Hospital records of maternal age, parity, use of reproductive techniques, gestation week, birth type, birth weight, neonatal problems and reasons for hospitalization, length of stay at hospital, rehospitalization rates of late preterm infants admitted to NICU between the period of January 1 and December 31, 2007 were reviewed retrospectively.Results: At Obstetric and Gynecology Department, 1852 infants were born in the 12-month period; 1556 (84%) were full-term and 296 (16%) were preterm. One hundred seventy four infants were late preterm and late preterm delivery rate was 9.4%. NICU admission rate was 10% and 36.2% for full-term and late preterm infants, respectively. Seventeen of 80 late preterm infants admitted from another hospital. Mean maternal age was 29.3±5.3 and 37.4% of them was primiparae. Hyperbilirubinemia (37.5%), respiratory illness (30%) and hypoglycemia (22.5%) were the most common reasons for hospitalization.Discussion: Late preterm infants had 4 times the risk for hospitalization compared with full-term infants. Hyperbilirubinemia and respiratory illness are the most common morbidities. Late preterm infants who have potentially higher risk for morbidity and hospitalization require closer monitoring

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
