Low Birth Weight Infants

BACKGROUND: Knowledge on short-term outcomes of preterm infants is important for quality control. Our objective was to analyze the outcomes of very low birth weight infants admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit over a ten years’ period and to compare the results with internationally published data. METHODS: We analyzed the outcome measures for all live born infants with birth weight (BW) of 400–1500 grams and gestational age (GA) of 23–32 weeks born at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre between 2006 and 2015. Results were compared to data from three international neonatal networks. RESULTS: During the study period, we admitted 528 infants born at a gestational age of≥23 and≤32 weeks with a very low birth weight (VLBW) of 400–1500 grams. Mean (SD) GA was 28 (2.4) weeks and mean (SD) BW was 1007 (290) grams. A hundred and twenty-nine (24.4%) infants were small for gestational age and major congenital anomalies were present in 56 (10.6 %) infants. The rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was 24.4 %, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) 9.1%, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) 29.9%, severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)10.8 %, periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) 5.7%, severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) 8%, and late-onset sepsis was 18.8%. The incidences of major neonatal outcomes such as CLD, NEC, severe IVH and severe ROP were comparable to the international cohorts. CONCLUSION: In our population of preterm infants, survival rates and complications of prematurity were comparable to international data.

Abstract Background Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) treatment is critical to support survival and lung maturation in preterm infants, however, its effect on feeding and growth is unclear. Prior preterm delivery, it remains uncertain whether ACS treatment should be continued if possible (repeated course ACS), until a certain gestational age is reached. We hypothesized that the association of single-course ACS with feeding competence and postnatal growth outcomes might be different from that of repeated course ACS in very-low-birth-weight preterm infants. Methods A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted in very-low-birth-weight preterm infants born at 23–37 weeks’ gestation in South China from 2011 to 2014. Data on growth, nutritional and clinical outcomes were collected. Repeated course ACS was defined in this study as two or more courses ACS (more than single-course). Infants were stratified by gestational age (GA), including GA < 28 weeks, 28 weeks ≤ GA < 32 weeks and 32 weeks ≤ GA < 37 weeks. Multiple linear regression and multilevel model were applied to analyze the association of ACS with feeding and growth outcomes. Results A total of 841 infants were recruited. The results, just in very-low-birth-weight preterm infants born at 28–32 weeks’ gestation, showed both single and repeated course of ACS regimens had shorter intubated ventilation time compared to non-ACS regimen. Single-course ACS promoted the earlier application of amino acid and enteral nutrition, and higher rate of weight increase (15.71; 95%CI 5.54–25.88) than non-ACS after adjusting for potential confounding factors. No associations of repeated course ACS with feeding, mean weight and weight increase rate were observed. Conclusions Single-course ACS was positively related to feeding and growth outcomes in very-low-birth-weight preterm infants born at 28–32 weeks’ gestation. However, the similar phenomenon was not observed in the repeated course of ACS regimen.
