Infant Morbidity

Neonatal mortality and morbidity among infants surviving to 1 year of age in eight geographic areas have been compared to determine whether recent decreases in mortality have affected the risk of infants having congenital anomalies or developmental delay. Mortality was obtained from birth and death records in 1976 and either 1978 or 1979; morbidity through home interviews with mothers of random samples of infants and developmental observations on the children. It is concluded that the decrease in mortality was not offset by increases in children with defects. Neonatal mortality decreased by 18% in this 2- to 3-year period; risk of congenital anomalies or developmental delay (all types combined) declined by 16% among the surviving infants. The reduction in risk was concentrated in the minor congenital anomalies or developmental delay category; the proportion of children with severe or moderate congenital anomalies or developmental delay did not change. Decreases occurred at every birth weight including the very low birth weights of 1,500 g or less, a subgroup with especially high mortality and morbidity resulting from perinatal events.

AbstractThis study investigated the role of cesarean section (CS) in mortality and morbidity of very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs) weighing less than 1500 g. This nationwide prospective cohort study of the Korean Neonatal Network consisted of 9,286 VLBWIs at 23–34 gestational weeks (GW) of age between 2013 and 2017. The VLBWIs were stratified into 23–24, 25–26, 27–28 and 29–34 GW, and the mortality and morbidity were compared according to the mode of delivery. The total CS rate was 78%, and was directly proportional to gestational age. The CS rate was the lowest at 61% in case of infants born at 23–24 GW and the highest at 84% in VLBWIs delivered at 29–34 GW. Contrary to the significantly lower total mortality (12%) and morbidities including sepsis (21%) associated with CS than vaginal delivery (VD) (16% and 24%, respectively), the mortality in the 25–26 GW (26%) and sepsis in the 27–28 GW (25%) and 29–34 GW (12%) groups were significantly higher in CS than in VD (21%, 20% and 8%, respectively). In multivariate analyses, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for mortality (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.89–1.25) and morbidity including sepsis (OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.98–1.27) were not significantly reduced with CS compared with VD. The adjusted ORs for respiratory distress syndrome (1.89, 95% CI 1.59–2.23) and symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (1.21, 95% CI 1.08–1.37) were significantly increased with CS than VD. In summary, CS was not associated with any survival or morbidity advantage in VLBWIs. These findings indicate that routine CS in VLBWIs without obstetric indications is contraindicated.

Correction: On 13th June, Prasanna Mithra was added as an author of this paper.Introduction: Progress in new-born survival has been slow. There is a variation in neonatal death rates across states and geographical region of a country. Understanding the pattern of mortality is essential in improving new-born survival. This study was conducted to study the mortality and morbidity profile in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a university teaching hospital.Material and Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study including records of all neonates admitted in NICU from January 2015 to December 2016.Results 3623 neonates were admitted during the study period. Majority were preterm and low birth weight babies. Neonatal jaundice (41.4%) was the leading cause of admission. Major cause of morbidity was sepsis (26.2%). Average duration of stay were higher in out borns (8.4 days) compared to inborn (6.5 days) neonates. Among mortality a higher male predominance was seen. Neonatal sepsis (36.3%) was the single most common cause of mortality followed by respiratory distress syndrome (27.4%) and congenital malformations (18.6%). Out born neonates which were self-transported had higher mortality rate than transported by ambulance.Conclusion This study identifies sepsis, prematurity and low birth weight as the major causes of morbidity. Sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome and congenital malformations were the leading causes of mortality Understanding causes of neonatal mortality may help to implement interventions to promote new-born survival.

Background: Neonatal period is an important period in the life where most of the deaths are preventable. In India every year 1 million babies die, which contributes to 25% of the world neonatal mortality. Perinatal death is very high in developing countries including India.Methods: A record based retrospective study was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive care unit(NICU) of Department of Pediatrics, Chengalpattu Medical College in Tamil Nadu, South India. The records were collected for the period of one year from January 2016 to December 2016. All the neonates admitted in the NICU during this period were included in the study. Results: The number of total deliveries in Chengalpattu Medical College for the year 2016 was 9339. Total number of live births was 9170 of which 21.88% were low birth weight and 15.96% were preterm delivery. Mortality rate in males is 3.2% (54/1689) and mortality rate in female is 3.98% (55/1383). The difference in mortality rate among male and female neonates was not significant. Respiratory distress syndrome and prematurity related illness contributed to 45% of the total neonatal deaths (39/110). Birth asphyxia and meconium aspiration contributed to 23.6 % (24/110). Rest of the mortality was contributed by ELBW 11.8% (13/110), major congenital malformation 6.4% (7/110), sepsis 1.8% (2/110) and others.Conclusions: Prematurity related problems and respiratory distress are the leading causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity followed by birth asphyxia in CMCH. Proper identification and management of pre-eclampsia, prevention of preterm and low birth weight deliveries are the need of the hour to reduce the mortality and morbidity among neonates.

Background: The major cause of infant mortality and morbidity is preterm birth. WHO has defined it as any birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation or fewer than 259 days since the last day of menstrual period. Objective of present study was to identify major etiological factors associated with preterm birth, and their effects on mode of delivery and neonatal mortality and morbidity.Methods: Retrospective cohorts study, which was conducted in M. S. Ramaiah Medical College, over period of 12 months (January 2015 to December 2015). The study included 343 women who delivered preterm they were followed from admission to discharge. Various parameters were analyzed like maternal characteristics, gestational age, associated risk factors, tocolysis, administration of steroids, and neonatal outcome.Results: The incidence of preterm birth among the total deliveries was approximately 18.01%. Although the risk factors included many, the most common occurring were hypertensive disorders during pregnancy approximately 32.9%, followed by preterm rupture of membranes (18.1%), idiopathic 14.9%, and previous LSCS at 12.2%. Neonatal mortality was 6.9% (24 neonates), and stillborn were 0.5% (2 neonates).Conclusions: Various risk factors for preterm labour are modifiable hence early detection and treatment prevents maternal morbidity and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Specific emphasis on regular antenatal checkups.
