Journal Title: Revista Eletronica de Enfermagem - Year 2009, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The prematurity is the most frequent cause of neonatal morbidity. The aim of this search was to perform a survey of the newborns with less than 37 completed weeks of gestation and related with the pathological alterations found. The data was collected from the maternal and neonatal medical record. The mean gestational age of the 104 newborns studied was 31 weeks ± 4 days. The mean weight of the premature infants in our study was 2350 grams. The groups with maternal baseline diseases were: maternal hypertension 51 cases (49%), uterus-placental disorders 21 cases (20.1%), infectious diseases 12 cases (11.5%), heart diseases 9 cases (5.7 %), diabetes 2 cases (1.9%), Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome 1 case (0.9%) and 8 cases (7.6%) with no record of the baseline disease. Among the groups with fetal baseline diseases the most frequent diseases were of the respiratory tract, with 81 cases (78%). In our study, there was statistically significant difference between gestational age and maternal baseline disease (p=0038). The prematurity remains the main cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, being one of the biggest challenges for the provision of professional high quality assistance.
