Title

SURVIVAL OF 798 LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS ACCORDING TO BIRTH WEIGHT AND GESTATIONAL AGE

Pages

  0-0

Abstract

 Background: Prematurity is the most common cause of neonatal death, resulting in approximately 80% of the deaths of infants without congenital abnormalities.Objectives: This study aimed to determine the SURVIVAL of low BIRTH WEIGHT infants and to investigate the effect of BIRTH WEIGHT, gestational age, and Apgar score on mortality rate.Patients and Methods: We retrospectively studied the mortality and SURVIVAL of 798 NEWBORNs with BIRTH WEIGHT of<2500 g during a 4-year period in the neonatal intensive care unit of a referral hospital in Qom, Iran.Results: The SURVIVAL-to-discharge rate was 50% for infants weighing<1000 g and 84.2% for those weighing 1000 – 1499 g. SURVIVAL rates at 26, 27, and 28 weeks’ gestation were 54.1%, 63.6%, and 70.2%, respectively. An Apgar score of more than 5 at the first minute and more than 7 at the fifth minute were associated with better SURVIVAL after hospital discharge.Conclusions: Our study showed that even with modern perinatal technology and care, early deaths of extremely low BIRTH WEIGHT infants are common in our hospitals.
