Abstract

Background/aim: The survival rate among preterm infants has improved, and hospital stays have been prolonged, consistent with positive developments in perinatal and neonatal care. The aim of this study was to provide evidence-based information for healthcare professionals concerning the ideal time for discharge by evaluating the reasons for prolonged hospital stays. Materials and methods: Six hundred eighty-one premature babies born at 24-35 weeks at the Mersin University Medical Faculty Hospital between January 2016 and May 2020 and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit were included in the study following a retrospective file examination. Date of birth (gestational age) and discharge week (duration of hospital stay) calculated from the date of final discharge were recorded. Based on the literature, the ideal discharge time was determined to be 40 weeks according to postmenstrual age (week of birth + length of hospital stay). The primary variable was whether the infants were discharged before the ideal discharge week. The secondary variable was the effect of the presence of comorbidity on the length of hospital stay and ideal discharge time. Results: The mean hospital stay of preterm neonate born at 250-7-260-7, 270-7-280-7 and 290-7-300-7 weeks was significantly shorter in the absence of comorbidity than in the presence of comorbidity (p = 0.001, 0.004, and 0.008, respectively). More than half (53.5%) were discharged before the expected date of birth as gestational weeks increased, despite the prolonged length of stay in the presence of comorbidity. Conclusion: Health professionals can inform families that, in the absence of comorbidity, discharge is possible at an average of 36 weeks for 250-7-280-7-week gestational ages, and at an average of 34 weeks for 290-7-320-7-week gestational ages.

Abstract

Objective: Urinary tract infection in newborn may be the first sign of an underlying urinary system problems. If not treated on time, the risk of renal scarring and renal failure increases with advancing age. In this study, it was aimed to review the clinical and laboratory findings, causative microorganisms, urinary system anomalies and the efficacy of antibiotic treatments in newborn diagnosed with UTI. Material and Method: This study was conducted between 01.09.2017 and 01.09.2018 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Children's Hospital. Term and late preterm newborn those bacteria were detected in the urine culture taken by bladder catheterization were included in the study. Clinical, laboratory and radiological imaging results of the cases were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Of these cases, 45.9% (n:28) were term and 52.5% (n:32) were late preterm babies. It was determined that the presence of maternal UTI during pregnancy was a risk factor for late preterm infants (p <0.001). The most common presenting symptom was jaundice (n:45, 75%) in both groups. The most frequently isolated microorganisms were Escherichia coli (40%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (35%). It was observed that the causative microorganisms were resistant to ampicillin as the most (n:32, 53.3%) and to meropenem as the least (n:7, 11.7%). Conclusion: History of UTI in the mother during pregnancy, late preterm baby and having urinary system anomaly are important risk factors for UTI in the newborn. Therefore, the patients in the risk group should be followed up at regular intervals for the development of renal scarring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: to investigate the early neonatal outcomes of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants discharged home from neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Turkey. Material and methods: a prospective cohort study was performed between April 1, 2016 and April 30, 2017. The study included VLBW infants admitted to level III NICUs. Perinatal and neonatal data of all infants born with a birth weight of.1500 g were collected for infants who survived. Results: data from 69 NICUs were obtained. The mean birth weight and gestational age were 1137 +/- 245 g and 29 +/- 2.4 weeks, respectively. During the study period, 78% of VLBW infants survived to discharge and 48% of survived infants had no major neonatal morbidity. VLBW infants who survived were evaluated in terms of major morbidities: bronchopulmonary dysplasia was detected in 23.7% of infants, necrotizing enterocolitis in 9.1%, blood culture proven late-onset sepsis (LOS) in 21.1%, blood culture negative LOS in 21.3%, severe intraventricular hemorrhage in 5.4% and severe retinopathy of prematurity in 11.1%. Hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus was diagnosed in 24.8% of infants. Antenatal steroids were administered to 42.9% of mothers. Conclusion: the present investigation is the first multicenter study to include epidemiological information on VLBW infants in Turkey. Morbidity rate in VLBW infants is a serious concern and higher than those in developed countries. Implementation of oxygen therapy with appropriate monitoring, better antenatal and neonatal care and control of sepsis may reduce the prevalence of neonatal morbidities. Therefore, monitoring standards of neonatal care and implementing quality improvement projects across the country are essential for improving neonatal outcomes in Turkish NICUs., Turkish Neonatal Society

Abstract

Background to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in Turkey and to establish screening criteria for this condition. Methods: a prospective cohort study (TR-ROP) was performed between 1 April 2016 and 30 April 2017 in 69 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Infants with a birth weight (BW)=1500 g or gestational age (GA)<= 32 weeks and those with a BW> 1500 g or GA> 32 weeks with an unstable clinical course were included in the study. Predictors for the development of ROP were determined by logistic regression analyses. Results: the TR-ROP study included 6115 infants: 4964 (81%) with a GA <= 32 weeks and 1151 (19%) with a GA>32 weeks. Overall, 27% had any stage of ROP and 6.7% had severe ROP. A lower BW, smaller GA, total days on oxygen, late-onset sepsis, frequency of red blood cell transfusions and relative weight gain were identified as independent risk factors for severe ROP in infants with a BW=1500 g. Of all infants, 414 needed treatment and 395 (95.4%) of the treated infants had a BW <= 1500 g. Sixty-six (16%) of the treated infants did not fulfil the Early Treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity requirements for treatment. Conclusions: screening of infants with a GA <= 34 weeks or a BW<1700 g appears to be appropriate in Turkey. Monitoring standards of neonatal care and conducting quality improvement projects across the country are recommended to improve neonatal outcomes in Turkish NICUs., NA

Beken, Serdar/0000-0002-8609-2684; BAS, AHMET YAGMUR/0000-0002-1329-2167; Bulbul, Ali/0000-0002-3510-3056; Karatekin, Guner/0000-0001-7112-0323, WOS: 000534242500056, PubMed: 31851725, Objective To investigate the early neonatal outcomes of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants discharged home from neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Turkey. Material and methods A prospective cohort study was performed between April 1, 2016 and April 30, 2017. the study included VLBW infants admitted to level III NICUs. Perinatal and neonatal data of all infants born with a birth weight of.1500 g were collected for infants who survived. Results Data from 69 NICUs were obtained. the mean birth weight and gestational age were 1137 +/- 245 g and 29 +/- 2.4 weeks, respectively. During the study period, 78% of VLBW infants survived to discharge and 48% of survived infants had no major neonatal morbidity. VLBW infants who survived were evaluated in terms of major morbidities: bronchopulmonary dysplasia was detected in 23.7% of infants, necrotizing enterocolitis in 9.1%, blood culture proven late-onset sepsis (LOS) in 21.1%, blood culture negative LOS in 21.3%, severe intraventricular hemorrhage in 5.4% and severe retinopathy of prematurity in 11.1%. Hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus was diagnosed in 24.8% of infants. Antenatal steroids were administered to 42.9% of mothers. Conclusion the present investigation is the first multicenter study to include epidemiological information on VLBW infants in Turkey. Morbidity rate in VLBW infants is a serious concern and higher than those in developed countries. Implementation of oxygen therapy with appropriate monitoring, better antenatal and neonatal care and control of sepsis may reduce the prevalence of neonatal morbidities. Therefore, monitoring standards of neonatal care and implementing quality improvement projects across the country are essential for improving neonatal outcomes in Turkish NICUs., Turkish Neonatal Society [2-2016]; Turkish Neonatal Society, This study was supported by the Turkish Neonatal Society, http://www.neonatology.org.tr, number 2-2016, received by AYB. Turkish Neonatal Society funded the study's online registry system. the funder had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.

Abstract

Background To evaluate the prevalence, risk factors and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in Turkey and to establish screening criteria for this condition., Methods A prospective cohort study (TR-ROP) was performed between 1 April 2016 and 30 April 2017 in 69 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Infants with a birth weight (BW)=1500 g or gestational age (GA) 1500 g or GA> 32 weeks with an unstable clinical course were included in the study. Predictors for the development of ROP were determined by logistic regression analyses., Results The TR-ROP study included 6115 infants: 4964 (81%) with a GA 32 weeks. Overall, 27% had any stage of ROP and 6.7% had severe ROP. A lower BW, smaller GA, total days on oxygen, late-onset sepsis, frequency of red blood cell transfusions and relative weight gain were identified as independent risk factors for severe ROP in infants with a BW=1500 g. Of all infants, 414 needed treatment and 395 (95.4%) of the treated infants had a BW, Conclusions Screening of infants with a GA
