Late Preterm Infants

Background: Late premature infants are born near term, but are immature. As a consequence, late preterm infants are at higher risk than term infants to develop morbidities. Although late preterm infants are the largest subgroup of preterm infants, there is a very limited data available on problems regarding late preterm infants in rural India.Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using previously collected data from neonates born at Dhiraj Hospital and neonates who were born outside but admitted at SNCU of Dhiraj Hospital, Piparia, Vadodara district, Gujarat, India between January 2015 to December 2015.Results: 168 late preterm infants and 1025 term infants were included in this study. The need for SNCU admission is significantly higher in late preterm compared to full term (41.07% vs 2.04%). Morbidities were higher in late preterm neonates compared to full term neonates. Sepsis (4.76% vs 1.07%), TTN (10.11% vs 2.04%), hyperbilirubinemia (19.04% vs 9.36%), RDS (1.78% vs 0.09%), hypoglycemia (1.78% vs 0.29%), PDA (1.78% vs 0.58%), risk of major congenital malformation (2.38% vs 0.58%). Need for respiratory support was 5.95% in late preterm vs 2.04% in full term neonates. Immediate neonatal outcome in terms of death and DAMA (non-salvageable) cases was poor in late preterm neonates compared to full term neonates (1.19% vs 0.78%).Conclusions: Late preterm neonates are at higher risk of morbidities and mortalities. They require special care. Judicious obstetric decisions are required to prevent late preterm births.

Background: Late preterm babies, born between 34 completed weeks of gestation through 36 weeks 6/7 gestation, tend to be physiologically less mature than term infants, subjecting them to an increased risk of developing various morbidities. Limited information is available regarding the current scenario in India. Therefore, the objective of this study was to understand and compare the early morbidities in late preterm newborns with those in full term babies in a tertiary hospital in India.Methods: The current prospective, observational study consisted of total 150 babies divided into two groups equally; late preterm neonates born between 34 and 36 weeks of gestation and full-term neonates. Weight (at birth, at 72 hours), heart rate, temperature and respiratory parameters were noted of all babies. The newborns were examined for respiratory morbidities, ability to breastfeed, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, neonatal jaundice and signs of sepsis. The need for resuscitation, admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and parenteral nutrition was also assessed. Data was expressed as mean±SD and was analyzed using the Student ‘t’ and Mann Whitney U tests.Results: The mean length and weight at birth in late preterm babies was significantly lesser than term newborns. Late preterm babies were found to have significantly higher incidence of complications like hyperbilirubinemia (62.7% vs 13.3%), respiratory morbidities (16% vs 4%), poor feeding, hypothermia, hypoglycemia, and sepsis compared to term newborns (p<0.01).Conclusions: Late preterm infants are at a higher risk than term infants for a number of neonatal complications. Initiatives imparting special care to late preterm infants are required in order to lower the morbidities endured by this population.

Syncytial Virus

Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a human orthopneumovirus spread by direct contact with symptomatic, infected individuals. An estimated 587,000 RSV LRTIs result in inpatient or outpatient encounters annually among US infants (Rainisch et al 2019). The health care costs associated with RSV include medical costs to insurers, governments, and households, travel, and loss of wages. Initial summary of Inpatient and Ambulatory Medical Costs p Infant w RSV.JPG Jun 17th, 2020 @ 2:44 PM 852 x 572 122.3 Kb Methods A systematic literature review of the costs associated with children who have RSV was conducted. Following PRISMA methodology, key search terms were searched within article titles and abstracts through PubMed, EconLit, and Scopus. A total of 1,942 unique abstracts were screened independently by two authors and reduced to 180 articles after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. The number of included articles after reviewing the full text was 66. Costing results were adjusted to USD2020 based on the Medical Care Consumer Price Index. Results Costing results were reported mainly for medical costs in inpatient settings. Initial results show that annual mean inpatient costs per RSV patient range among individual studies from $9,825 (SD=$25,227) for full term infants to $26,120 (SD unspecified) for late preterm infants (Table 1). Costing results vary by gestational age, with late preterm infants having an annual mean inpatient cost almost 1.6 times that of a full term infant. Inpatient costs for RSV infants are higher for commercial pay versus Medicaid, for both full term infants (commercial mean=$16,489 SD=$31,068, Medicaid mean=$10,291 SD=$64,625) and late preterm infants (commercial mean=$23,836; SD=$43,709, Medicaid mean=$18,864 SD=$28,716). Annual RSV ambulatory costs per infant vary between $4,371 (SD=$13,411) and $19,963 (SD=$27,269), depending on gestational age. Other relevant RSV costs include preventative drug costs, such as palivizumab (average $11,954 per infant). Conclusion The literature describes the economic impact of RSV primarily for hospitalization of children with underlying comorbidities. There is a need to better understand costing results for RSV, including the burden in ambulatory settings and indirect costs to families affected. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures
