Abstract

Prenatal, obstetrik ve yenidoğan bakımındaki gelişmeler preterm bebeklerin hayatta kalma oranlarını artırmıştır. Fakat, çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebekler gerek yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesi döneminde gerekse uzun süreli izlemde pahalı tedaviler ve yoğun bakımda daha uzun süre kalmayı gerektiren morbiditelerle karşılaşmaktalar ve hatta yaşamlarını kaybetmektedirler. Bir bebeğin doğum ağırlığı ne kadar düşükse, ölüm riski de o kadar yüksek olmaktadır. Bu nedenle çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerde gelişen kısa ve uzun vadeli morbiditeler sadece yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatış süresini uzatmakla kalmaz aynı zamanda sağlık hizmetlerinin maliyetlerini de arttırır. Ayrıca uzun vadede, bu popülasyonda görülen, bedensel ve zihinsel gelişme gerilikleri toplum içinde ciddi ekonomik sonuçlar doğurmaktadır. Bu çalışmada prematür doğumların önlenmesinin önemine vurgu yapılmakta olup, sağlık politikası yapıcılarının gündeminde öncelikli bir konu olması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.

Very Low Birth Weight Infants Public Health Issue

Abstract

Improvements in prenatal, obstetric and neonatal care have increased the survival rates of preterm babies. But babies with very low birth weight experience morbidity that require expensive treatments and longer stays in intensive care, both during the neonatal intensive care unit and long-term monitoring, and even lose their lives. The lower the birth weight of a baby, the higher the risk of death. For this reason, short-and long-term morbidity in very low birth weight infants not only increases the duration of hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit, but also increases the costs of health services. In addition, in the long term, the physical and mental development delays observed in this population have serious economic consequences in society. In this study, the importance of preventing premature births is emphasized and it is thought that it should be a priority issue on the agenda of health policy makers.
