Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Üni̇tesinde İzlenen Bebeklerin Gebelik Haftası ve Doğum Ağırlıklarına Göre Sağkalım, Hastanede Yatış Süreleri ve Rehospitalizasyon Oranları

Year 2010, Volume: 4 Issue: 2, 77 - 83, 01.08.2010

Abstract

Amaç: Perinatal ve neonatal bakım alanındaki gelişmeler, daha fazla sayıda prematüre veya riskli bebeğin yaşamasına olanak sağlamıştır. Özellikle prematüre bebekler, uzun hastanede yatış süreçleri ve rehospitalizasyon gereksinimleri ile yenidoğan ünitelerinin yatak kapasitelerinin çoğunu işgal etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesine (YYBÜ) yatan hastaların gebelik haftası ve doğum ağırlıklarına göre, sağkalım oranları, ortalama hastanede yatış süreleri, rehospitalizasyon oranları ve nedenleri ile YYBÜ’nde toplam yatış gün ve kapasite kullanımı dağılımının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde 1 Ocak 2008 ile 31 Aralık 2008 tarihleri arasında yatırılarak izlenen 544 olgu ve rehospitalize edilen 30 olgunun kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Bir yıllık süreçte yatırılan hastaların ortalama hastanede yatış süresi 9.3 gün olarak, toplam sağkalım oranı %96.5, rehospitalizasyon oranı %2.9 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Gebelik haftası ve doğum ağırlıkları ile ortalama yatış süreleri, sağkalım ve rehospitalizasyon oranları arasında negatif korelasyon saptanmıştır (r=-1, p<0.01). En sık rehospitalizasyon nedenleri prematüre bebeklerde retinopati nedeniyle lazer fotokoagülasyon yapılması ve sepsis, term bebeklerde ise sarılık olarak saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Kanıta dayalı bilimsel, engelleyici ve doğru uygulamalar ile, yoğun bakım süreci ve sonrasında gelişebilecek kısa ve uzun dönem morbiditelerinin sağaltılması ve sağkalım oranlarının artması sağlanabilmektedir. Taburculuk sonrası rehospitalizasyonlar ise yoğun bakım maliyetinde artış ve yeni morbiditelerin oluşumuna neden olmaktadır. Bu durum, yoğun bakım ünitelerindeki yatakların ve izlem polikliniklerinin doğru organizasyonunu gerektirmektedir.

THE SURVIVAL RATES, LENGTH OF HOSPITAL STAY AND REHOSPITALIZATION RATES OF NEWBORNS FOLLOWED AT NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ACCORDING TO GESTATIONAL AGE AND BIRTH WEIGHT

Year 2010, Volume: 4 Issue: 2, 77 - 83, 01.08.2010

Abstract

Aim: Advances in perinatal and neonatal care have allowed more premature or high-risk infants to live. Particularly, premature infants occupy most of the beds in neonatal units with long length of hospital stay (LOS) and high rehospitalization requirements. The aim of this study was to investigate the survival rates, LOS, and rehospitalization rates of the patients according to gestation age and birth weight, and to determine the number of bed-days and the utilization of bedscape in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Material and method: Hospital records of 544 infants and 30 rehospitalized infants who admitted to NICU between January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 were reviewed retrospectively.Results: In one-year period, the mean LOS was 9.3 days, the overall survival rate was 96.5% and the rehospitalization rate was 2.9%. Mean LOS, survival and rehospitalization rates are inversely related to gestation age and birth weight (r=-1, p<0,01). The most common rehospitalization causes were laser photocoagulation for retinopathy and sepsis in preterm infants, and hyperbilirubinemia in term infants.Conclusion: With evidence based scientific, preventive and right applications, the short- and long-term morbidities that may develop at intensive care process and later can be treated and increase in survival rates can be achieved. The rehospitalization of infants after discharge contributes to the high cost of intensive care and should create new morbidities. This requires right organization of NICU beds and outpatient follow-up
