Aşırı Düşük Doğum Ağırlıklı Bebeklerin Demografik Özellikleri ve Kısa Dönem İzlem Sonuçları

Year 2011, Volume: 5 Issue: 4, 208 - 213, 01.04.2011

Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç: Yenidoğan ünitelerinde son yıllarda görülen gelişmelerle birlikte preterm bebeklerde mortalite azalmıştır. Bu azalma özellikle aşırı düşük doğum ağırlığı (ADDA) olan bebek grubunda belirgindir. Bu grubun yoğun bakım kısa dönem sonuçları, yoğun bakım izlem ve tedavi özellikleri, eşlik eden morbidite sıklığı ve şiddeti diğer hasta gruplarından belirgin derecede farklıdır. Bu hasta grubunun verilerinin ortaya konması hasta tedavi ve izlem protokollerinin oluşturulması açısından önem arz etmektedir. Ülkemizin en büyük yenidoğan yoğun bakım servisine sahip olan ünitemizin aşırı düşük doğum ağırlıklı hasta grubunun verilerinin ortaya konmasını amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, hastanemiz yenidoğan kliniğinde Ocak 2009-Temmuz 2010 tarihleri arasında izlenen, ADDA prematüre bebekler alınmıştır. Perinatal demografik özellikler ile yoğun bakım izlem özellikleri, kısa dönem izlem sonuçları ile eşlik eden morbiditeler kaydedilmiştir. Bulgular: Yüz elli dört ADDA prematüre bebek çalışmaya alındı. Kırkbir hasta (%26.6) izlem sırasında kaybedildi. Yoğun bakım izlemleri yapılan 113 ADDA prematüre bebeğin ortalama gebelik haftası 26.9±1.8 hafta, ortalama doğum ağırlığı 853±60 gram, ortalama anne yaşı 27.7±5.6 yıl idi. Hastaların izlemlerinde %53.9 patent duktus arteriozus (PDA), %9.7 nekrotizan enterokolit (NEK), %21.4 ciddi İntrakraniyal Kanama [(İKK);evre 3,4)], şant operasyonu gereken hidrosefali ise %3.5 olarak gözlendi. Tedavi gerektiren prematüre retinopatisi (ROP) %23 gözlendi. Bronkopulmoner displazi(BPD) ise %30.3 oranında gözlendi. Sonuçlar: Çalışmamızda ortaya konan ADDA prematüre bebeklere yönelik ülkemizden yayınlanan bu ilk geniş serili veriler bu grupta mortalitenin düşük seyretmesinin yanında yüksek oranda eşlik eden morbiditelere yönelik tedavi ve takip politikalarının düzenlenmesi gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur.

DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS AND SHORT-TERM FOLLOW-UP OUTCOMES OF EXTREMELY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS

Year 2011, Volume: 5 Issue: 4, 208 - 213, 01.04.2011

Abstract

Indroduction and Objective: Mortality of preterm infants has been decreased with recent developments in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU). This decrease is prominent especially in the extremely low birthweight (ELBW) preterm infants group. Intensive care unit short-term outcomes, features of the intensive care follow-up, the treatment, incidence and severity of comorbidity differ in this group than the others. Results of the data for this patient group is important to set the patient treatment and follow-up protocols. We aimed to present the data of ELBW preterm infants who are discharged from our NICU which is the largest one in Turkey.Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, ELBW preterm infants who were followed-up at our Neonatology outpatient clinic of our hospital between January-2009 and July 2010 areincluded. Perinatal demographic features, intensive care follow-up features, short-term outcomes and comorbidities are recorded.Results: A hundred and fifty-four ELBW preterm infants were included to the study. Among 113 survived ELBW preterm infants in the NICU mean gestational week, mean birth weight and mean maternal age were 26.9±1.8 weeks, 853±60 g and 27.7±5.6 years, respectively. During the hospitalization, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was observed in 53.9%, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in 9.7%, pneumothorax in 5.5%, pulmonary hemorrhage in 9.8%, severe intracranial hemorrhage (stage 3 and 4) 21.4% and hydrocephalia requiring shunt operation was in 3.5% of the neonates. Retinopathy of premature (ROP) requiring treatment was observed in 23%. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BDP) was found to be 30.3% of the patients whereas only eight patients (8%) required home-oxygen treatment.Conclusion: This first wide serie data presented in our country in ELBW premature neonates indicates that special treatment and follow-up policies should be set for the related comorbidities in the era of low mortality

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 6 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.
