Abstract
- Objective: To know the profile of newborns hospitalized in the Intermediate Neonatal Care Unit and associate maternal and neonatal factors with the length of hospitalization. Methods: Cross-sectional, documentary research, carried out in a university hospital in the South Region of Brazil, with 384 newborns hospitalized. A descriptive analysis and the chi-square test were performed. Results: Most hospitalizations occurred in the early neonatal period, of male babies, white ethnicity, gestational age 36 weeks, weight 2,690g, Apgar score 6.77 in the first and 8.49 in the fifth minute, and average days of hospitalization 8.49. Prolonged period of hospitalization was associated with maternal intercurrence, prematurity, low birth weight, male gender, use of antibiotics and weight gain. Conclusion: Reaffirms the importance of knowing the causes of hospitalization of newborns and understanding the profile of illness in the neonatal period, to subsidize public policies and quality assistance to reduce hospitalization and perinatal morbidities.
