Introduction: Neonatal meningitis in developing countries is 0.8- 6.1 per 1000 live births with mortality of 40-85% had morbidity. Since, the clinical signs and symptoms of meningitis are non- specific and like those seen in sepsis, Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) examination via Lumbar Puncture (LP) is essential to establish the diagnosis of meningitis. Performing a LP has its own set of complications. The need for lumbar puncture can be averted and early optimal antibiotic can be instituted if serum inflammatory markers are found to be a good predictor of meningitis in suspected neonatal sepsis. Aim: To investigate the role of serum inflammatory markers, to predict bacterial meningitis amongst neonates with sepsis and to determine the cut-off values for these markers to predict bacterial meningitis amongst neonates with sepsis. Materials and Methods:Thiswasacross-sectionalobservational study done over a period of 17 months in the paediatric wards in a tertiary care centre. All neonates presenting with clinical suspicion of sepsis were enrolled. The blood samples were collected for serum inflammatory markers and CSF examination was done as indicated (American Academy of Paediatrics, AAP guidelines). CSF examination findings and serum inflammatory markers were then statistically analysed to determine the significance in predicting bacterial meningitis in neonatal sepsis. A total of 234 neonates were selected as per laboratory investigations for enrollment in the study. Categorical variables were presented in number and percentage (%) and continuous variables were presented as mean±Standard deviation (SD) and median. Diagnostic tests were used to calculate sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV). Results: A total 234 neonates with features suggestive of sepsis and in whom C-Reactive Protein (CRP) >10 mg/L, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) >15 mm, White Blood Cell (WBC) <4000 cells/mm³, Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) <1800/mm3 and in whom LP was recommended as per the AAP guidelines were included in the study. A 222 (94.87%) neonates were in the age group 1-10 days. A total of 134 (57.3%) study subjects were males. No significant association of ANC, WBC, ESR and CRP was seen with meningitis (p-value >0.05). Receiver Operator Curve (ROC) for all the four parameters were constructed, they showed performance was non-significant. Conclusion: Based on the current single site study results, it is implicated that diagnosis and management of neonatal meningitis should be solely based on LP since serum inflammatory markers are poor discriminators for meningitis. Future studies should evaluate the diagnostic parameters from other inflammatory markers like Immature to Total Neutrophil (IT) ratio and micro ESR, which, if proven to be of diagnostic value, can reduce the time to initiate management and avert the need for LP in neonatal meningitis.
在发展中国家,新生儿脑膜炎发病率为每1000例活产0.8- 6.1例,死亡率为40-85%。由于脑膜炎的临床体征和症状不具有特异性,与败血症类似,因此通过腰椎穿刺(LP)检查脑脊液(CSF)对于确定脑膜炎的诊断至关重要。执行LP有其自身的一系列并发症。如果发现血清炎症标记物是疑似新生儿败血症中脑膜炎的良好预测因子,则可以避免腰椎穿刺的需要,并可以制定早期最佳抗生素。目的:探讨血清炎症标志物在预测新生儿脓毒症细菌性脑膜炎中的作用,并确定这些标志物预测新生儿脓毒症细菌性脑膜炎的临界值。材料和方法:这是一项横断面观察性研究,在一家三级护理中心的儿科病房进行了为期17个月的研究。所有临床怀疑为败血症的新生儿均被纳入研究。采集血样检测血清炎症标志物,并按指示进行脑脊液检查(美国儿科学会,AAP指南)。然后统计分析脑脊液检查结果和血清炎症标志物,以确定预测新生儿败血症细菌性脑膜炎的意义。根据实验室调查,共有234名新生儿入选本研究。分类变量以数量和百分比(%)表示,连续变量以均数±标准差(SD)和中位数表示。采用诊断试验计算敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值(PPV)和阴性预测值(NPV)。结果:共有234例新生儿具有脓毒症的特征,其中c反应蛋白(CRP) >10 mg/L,红细胞沉降率(ESR) >15 mm,白细胞(WBC) 0.05。对所有四个参数构建了受试者操作曲线(Receiver Operator Curve, ROC),它们的表现均不显著。结论:基于目前的单点研究结果,提示新生儿脑膜炎的诊断和管理应仅基于LP,因为血清炎症标志物对脑膜炎的鉴别能力较差。未来的研究应评估其他炎症标志物的诊断参数,如未成熟到总中性粒细胞(IT)比率和微ESR,如果被证明具有诊断价值,可以减少开始治疗的时间,避免新生儿脑膜炎需要LP。

Introduction: Nonpractice of breast feeding and noncompliance with immunisation are the two most important contributing factors of infant mortality which could be because of ignorance, illiteracy, social and cultural belief. Aim: To assess the level of knowledge, perception, and awareness among pregnant mothers after an educational intervention programme. Materials and Methods: A semi structured questionnaire was used for the pre and post-test experimental study among 145 mothers who delivered at a tertiary care center, Puducherry; during the study period of two months (November- December 2019). Those who were not willing to participate, who had postpartum complications were excluded from the study (15 mothers). Health education was imparted by one of the authors, in three stages. Stage I: Video demonstration of breast feeding for 10 minutes. Stage II: Focused group discussion for 10 minutes. Stage III: Mannequin demonstration for 10 minutes. Post-test was done on day three of life. Total of 37 questions in the form of yes/no, fill in the blanks and multiple-choice questions were used. Each question carried one mark. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to describe the effectiveness of teaching by comparing pre-test - post-test score. The p-value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The median age of mothers was 26-30 years, around 62.7% were multiparous and about 50% had completed a basic undergraduate course. The post-test score of knowledge, attitude and perception were significantly higher than the pre- test scores (p-value=0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant improvement in the level of knowledge, perception and attitude regarding breast feeding after the educational intervention.
不实行母乳喂养和不遵守免疫接种是造成婴儿死亡的两个最重要因素,这可能是由于无知、文盲、社会和文化信仰造成的。目的:评估教育干预计划后孕妇的知识、认知和意识水平。材料与方法:采用半结构化问卷对145名在普杜切里三级保健中心分娩的母亲进行测试前和测试后的实验研究;为期两个月的研究期间(2019年11月- 12月)。那些不愿意参与,有产后并发症的人被排除在研究之外(15名母亲)。其中一位作者分三个阶段进行了健康教育。第一阶段:10分钟的母乳喂养视频演示。第二阶段:小组讨论10分钟。第三阶段:人体模型演示10分钟。在出生后第三天进行后测。共37道题,采用是/否、填空和选择题的形式。每个问题有一个标记。采用Wilcoxon符号秩检验,通过比较测试前和测试后的分数来描述教学的有效性。p值<0.05认为有统计学意义。结果:产妇年龄中位数为26 ~ 30岁,约62.7%的产妇已产,约50%的产妇已完成本科基础课程。测验后的知识、态度和知觉得分显著高于测验前得分(p值=0.001)。结论:教育干预后,产妇对母乳喂养的认识、认知和态度均有明显改善。

Introduction: Birth Defects (BD) account for a significant proportion of neonatal mortality. BD can result in long-term disability with a significant impact on individuals, families, societies and healthcare systems. Aim: To estimate prevalence, types, clinical profile and perinatal profile of BD among neonates. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Department of Paediatrics, from November 2018 to May 2019. A total of 71 cases were admitted to NICU with total 95 BD. All the demographic details, natal, antenatal, prenatal clinical data and family histories were collected with the help of a predesigned proforma, entered in Excel sheet and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software; version 25.0. The p-value was calculated using Chi-square test and p-value < 0.05 was taken as significant. Results: Total number of neonates with BD was 71 (4.16% of total NICU admissions, 1.18% of total live births i.e., 6033). Neonates with single BD were 53 (74.65%) and multiple BDs were 18 (25.35%). Mean age was 3.89±5.29 days. Out of the 71 neonates, 37 (52.11%) were males while 28 (39.44%) were females, and the rest 6 (8.45%) had ambiguous genitalia. Prevalence of BD was more in Low Birth Weight (LBW) (6.27%, 34/542 cases) than normal birth weight babies (3.33%, 36/1080 babies). Prevalence of BD was highest in mothers of 26-30 years age group (28/433, 6.46%). The predominant system involved was cardiovascular system (29/95 BDs, 30.53%). The most common major BD was Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) (13/95 BDs, 13.68%). The predominant type of BD found was malformation (83/95 BDs, 87.37%). Case fatality rate of BDs was 30.99% (22/71). Neonatal mortality rate of BDs was 0.35 per 1000 live births. Conclusion: Prevalence of birth defects was 1.18% of the total live births. Cardiovascular system was the most common system involved, VSD being the most common defect. BDs were significantly associated with late twenties parity, LBW and pre-existing medical diseases in mothers. Single and major BDs were more common than their counterparts.
出生缺陷(BD)占新生儿死亡率的很大比例。双相障碍可导致长期残疾,对个人、家庭、社会和卫生保健系统产生重大影响。目的:了解新生儿双相障碍的患病率、类型、临床特征及围生期特征。材料和方法:这是一项前瞻性观察性研究,于2018年11月至2019年5月在儿科新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)进行。新生儿重症监护病房共71例,BD共95例。所有人口统计资料、出生、产前、产前临床资料和家族史均通过预先设计的表格收集,输入Excel表格,并使用SPSS软件进行分析;25.0版。p值采用卡方检验计算,以p值< 0.05为显著性。结果:新生儿BD共71例(占新生儿重症监护病房总入院人数的4.16%,占总活产人数的1.18%,即6033例)。单纯性双相障碍53例(74.65%),多发性双相障碍18例(25.35%)。平均年龄3.89±5.29天。71例新生儿中,男37例(52.11%),女28例(39.44%),其余6例(8.45%)生殖器不清。低出生体重儿(LBW)患病率(6.27%,34/542例)高于正常出生体重儿(3.33%,36/1080例)。26-30岁年龄组母亲BD患病率最高(28/433,6.46%)。主要累及的系统为心血管系统(29/95例,30.53%)。最常见的主要BD是室间隔缺损(VSD) (13/95 BDs, 13.68%)。病变类型以畸形为主(83/95例,占87.37%)。病死率为30.99%(22/71)。新生儿死亡率为每1000例活产0.35例。结论:出生缺陷患病率占总活产的1.18%。心血管系统是最常见的受累系统,室间隔缺损是最常见的缺陷。bd与20岁晚期胎次、低体重和母亲已有的疾病显著相关。单一和主要的bd比他们的同行更常见。

Introduction: Newborn Screening (NBS) is an important public health measure in many developed countries. In developing countries like India, the benefits of NBS have been acknowledged and that screening is slowly gaining attention. Aim: To estimate the proportion for seven conditions screened in a tertiary care hospital in Southern India namely Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH), Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, Biotinidase Deficiency (BD), Galactosemia, Phenylketonuria (PKU) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Materials and Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Southern India during a three year period between January 2018 to December 2020. A retrospective analysis of the results of NBS by dried blood spots was done. There were 3152 live births during this period out of which 1649 babies were screened (52% coverage). Heel prick samples after 48 hour of life and prior to discharge were analysed by quantitative assessment. Neonates having positive screening results were recalled by telephonic call for confirmatory tests. Results: The CH, BD and G6PD deficiency were the most common disorders with a proportion of 1:824, 1:1649 and 1:1649, respectively. Galactosemia, CF and PKU were not found in study population. Conclusion: These results need to be corroborated with larger studies from the same geographical area.

Introduction: Neonatal hypothermia is an abnormal thermal state in which body temperature drops below 36.5°C leading to adverse clinical outcomes caused due to prematurity of the neonate or severe infection. Since, the outcome of hypothermia is not immediately detected, it relatively gets neglected by the health care provider. Aim: To investigate the effect of admission hypothermia on short-term and long-term outcomes in neonates admitted at a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: The descriptive study was conducted on 189 neonates with admission hypothermia which were further grouped into various grades of hypothermia and were followed-up to determine the outcome. The study population was subjected to routine investigations as per protocol. All neonates were screened by Ultrasonography (USG) cranium, 2D Echocardiogram (2D ECHO) and Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) screening. At each follow-up they underwent various neurological examination at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age, neurodevelopment assessment using DAS II at one year of age, growth assessment (detailed anthropometry) and developmental milestones, nutritional assessment (breastfeeding or weaning), retinopathy of prematurity screening at three weeks. At 12 months of age, all the babies were assessed using Developmental Assessment scale for Indian infants. The data was analysed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 21.0 for data computation, p=value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Two third (63.5%) of the neonates admitted in the NICU with admission hypothermia were males. Overall, 63% of admitted neonates with hypothermia were low-birth weight. Among the short-term outcome in neonates the most common was the Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS,81%). Most common combination of the short-term outcome were RDS+Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)+Sepsis (n=6) and RDS+PDA+ROP Grade II (n=4), and RDS+Intraventricular Haemorrhage (IVH)+Sepsis (n=2). All the neonates 4(100%) who were extremely preterm developed RDS compared to other neonates. RDS was cause of death in 4 hypothermic neonates. The mean development age using DAS II was 11.8 months. The mean development quotient was 94. Conclusion: The present observational study demonstrates a relationship between admission hypothermia and the type of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Gestational age carried a significant relationship with the short-term outcome like RDS in terms of developing co-morbidities and their survivability but had a limited role in development of long-term outcome. Routine screening of temperature and early intervention prevents the development of hypothermia thus preventing short-term complications. There is a need to create awareness among health professionals about the dangers of hypothermia so that early intervention could be undertaken to reduce its complications.
新生儿低温症是指新生儿因早产或严重感染导致体温降至36.5℃以下,导致临床不良结局的异常热状态。由于体温过低的结果不能立即检测到,它相对地被卫生保健提供者所忽视。目的:探讨入院时低温对三级医院新生儿短期和长期预后的影响。材料与方法:对189例入院时发生过低温的新生儿进行描述性研究,将其分为不同程度的低温,并进行随访以确定预后。研究人群按照方案进行常规调查。所有新生儿均通过颅骨超声(USG)、二维超声心动图(2D ECHO)和早产儿视网膜病变(ROP)筛查进行筛查。在每次随访中,他们分别在3个月、6个月、9个月和12个月时接受各种神经系统检查,在1岁时使用DAS II进行神经发育评估,生长评估(详细的人体测量)和发育里程碑,营养评估(母乳喂养或断奶),三周时进行早产儿视网膜病变筛查。在12个月大时,使用印度婴儿发育评估量表对所有婴儿进行评估。数据分析采用SPSS 21.0版本进行数据计算,以p=值<0.05为有统计学意义。结果:新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)收治低体温新生儿中男性占63.5%。总体而言,63%的低温入院新生儿为低出生体重。在新生儿的短期结局中,最常见的是呼吸窘迫综合征(RDS,81%)。最常见的短期预后组合为RDS+动脉导管未闭(PDA)+脓毒症(n=6), RDS+PDA+ROP II级(n=4), RDS+脑室内出血(IVH)+脓毒症(n=2)。与其他新生儿相比,所有极度早产的新生儿(100%)都发生了RDS。4例低温新生儿死亡原因为RDS。使用DAS II的平均发育年龄为11.8个月。平均发展商为94。结论:本观察性研究证实了入院低温与新生儿发病率和死亡率类型之间的关系。胎龄与RDS等短期结果在并发疾病及其生存能力方面有着重要的关系但对长期结果的发展作用有限。常规体温筛查和早期干预可防止体温过低的发生,从而防止短期并发症。有必要提高卫生专业人员对体温过低危险的认识,以便及早采取干预措施,减少其并发症。

Introduction: Maturation of the brain is affected by various biological and environmental factors encountered by the infant during the intensive care period in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) due to the medical treatments, procedures, and the noisy environment that disrupts the normal brain development process. Severe neurological sequelae of preterm infants are common because of the immature central nervous system. Cerebral Function Monitor (CFM) or Amplitude integrated Electroencephalogram (a-EEG) is a device for monitoring the background neurological activity. Aim: To assess postnatal maturation of a-EEG in clinically stable and neurologically normal preterm Small for Gestational Age (SGA) and preterm Appropriate for Gestational Age (AGA) neonates from 30 weeks 0/7 days to 34 weeks 6/7 days of gestation admitted in a tertiary care NICU at J. K. Lon Mother and Child Hospital, attached to Government Medical College, Kota. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted over a one year duration, from January 2020 to December 2020 on 60 preterm neonates that were admitted in NICU of a tertiary care hospital. The serial a-EEG recording was done on haemodynamically stable, included preterm neonates after taking consent, on 3rd, 7th, and 14th postnatal day of life during the course of admission. The postnatal maturation of amplitude integrated EEG of Preterm Small for Gestational Age (PSGA) neonates was compared with their Preterm Appropriate for Gestational Age (PAGA) neonates based on a validated a-EEG scoring. The analysis was done by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. Student t-test was applied. Results: The total a-EEG scores for 3rd, 7th, and 14th day of SGA group neonates were 7.55±1.45, 7.25±1.02 and 10.22±1.05 and were delayed from the AGA group of neonates with 7.86±1.55, 8.68±1.00 and 10.62±1.01, with mean difference (95% CI), 0.30 (-0.49 to 1.13), 1.43 (0.88 to 1.97) and 0.39 (-0.15 to 0.95) respectively. Only the total a-EEG scores for day 7 were significantly delayed in SGA group. Conclusion: All the maturation a-EEG scores of clinically stable and neurologically normal PSGA neonates was found to be significantly delayed at any point of life on postnatal day 7th of life.
导读:新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)重症监护期间,由于医疗、程序和嘈杂的环境干扰了正常的大脑发育过程,婴儿所遇到的各种生物和环境因素影响了大脑的成熟。由于早产儿中枢神经系统发育不成熟,严重的神经系统后遗症是常见的。脑功能监测仪(CFM)或振幅集成脑电图(a- eeg)是一种监测背景神经活动的设备。目的:评价哥打政府医学院附属J. K.

The most common cause for neonatal persistent hypoglycemia is Congenital Hyperinsulinism (CH) which is characterised by low blood glucose with an inappropriately higher insulin level. A one-day-old male baby, third born to non consanguineous parents delivered at term, small for gestational age, detected to have hypoglycaemia at 24 hours of life. He was established on breastfeed. Glucose infusion was started initially with Glucose Infusion Rate (GIR) of 4 mg/kg/min and increased according to the blood glucose values. Euglycaemic state was achieved with GIR of 14 mg/kg/min and intravenous hydrocortisone. Critical blood samples were sent when GIR was at 8 mg/kg/min which showed detectable insulin with high ammonia and normal cortisol levels. Hence, the diagnosis of transient hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia of infancy with hyperammonemia was considered and treated with oral diazoxide and sodium benzoate. GIR could be tapered and was discharged on breastfeed and medications. During follow-up at three months of age, the medications were stopped under glucose monitoring. He had normal growth and development at 12 months of age. Neonatal hypoglycaemia should be aggressively managed to prevent neuroglycopenia and its resultant neurodevelopmental disability. When GIR is more than 8 mg/kg/min, hyperinsulinism should be suspected for appropriate therapy.
新生儿持续性低血糖最常见的原因是先天性高胰岛素症(CH),其特征是低血糖与不适当的高胰岛素水平。1例1天大的男婴,为非近亲父母第三胎,足月分娩,小于胎龄,出生24小时检测出低血糖。他是靠母乳喂养长大的。葡萄糖输注开始时,葡萄糖输注速率(GIR)为4 mg/kg/min,并根据血糖值逐渐升高。GIR为14 mg/kg/min,静脉注射氢化可的松,血糖达到良好状态。当GIR为8 mg/kg/min时,发送临界血液样本,显示可检测到胰岛素,高氨和正常皮质醇水平。因此,我们考虑了婴儿伴高氨血症的一过性高胰岛素性低血糖的诊断,并给予口服二氮氧化合物和苯甲酸钠治疗。GIR可以逐渐减少,并通过母乳喂养和药物治疗出院。在三个月大的随访期间,在血糖监测下停药。他在12个月大时生长发育正常。新生儿低血糖应积极管理,以防止神经性低血糖症及其产生的神经发育障碍。当GIR大于8mg /kg/min时,应怀疑是高胰岛素血症,需要适当治疗。

Introduction: Acute Gastroenteritis (AGE) is one of the most common causes of hospitalisation in children as well as neonates. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), 80% of deaths due to diarrhoea occur in first two years of life. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications associated with gastroenteritis and dehydration. Neonates constitute major bulk of infant mortality and morbidity. The goal of this study was to identify risk factors, feeding pattern and electrolyte abnormalities in neonates presenting with AGE. Aim: To study the clinical profile and epidemiology of neonates presenting with AGE with special emphasis on AKI. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Department of Paediatrics between December 2019 to May 2021 at MMIMS Research and Hospital, Mullana, Ambala, Haryana, India. Ethical clearance was obtained from the ethical committee prior to the study. A total of 510 neonates were admitted during this period in NICU. Out of them 151 neonates of AGE who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Clinical Data and lab investigations i.e., serum electrolytes and Renal Function Test (RFT) were collected and entered in pretested proforma meeting the objectives of the study. Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) was used to diagnose AKI. Results: In this study, out of the 151 patients of AGE, 56 (37.09%) patients developed AKI. Hyperkalaemia in 85 (56.29%) patients was the most common electrolyte abnormality followed by hypernatremia 35 (23.18%). Hyponatraemia was present in only 15 (9.9%) patients. Acidosis was present in 41 (27.15%) patients. Exclusive formula feeding was the single most modifiable risk factor for AKI. Conclusion: It was found that feeding pattern is the most important and modifiable risk factor associated with increased incidence of AGE and AKI in neonates. Exclusive formula fed babies are more prone to AGE due to improper composition of feeds as compared to mixed feeding or exclusive breast feeding. Thus, exclusive breast feeding must be promoted. Hyperkalaemia remained the most common electrolyte abnormality in these patients.
简介:急性胃肠炎(AGE)是儿童和新生儿住院的最常见原因之一。根据世界卫生组织(世卫组织)的数据,80%的腹泻死亡发生在生命的头两年。急性肾损伤(AKI)是肠胃炎和脱水最常见的并发症之一。新生儿占婴儿死亡率和发病率的主要部分。本研究的目的是确定出现AGE的新生儿的危险因素、喂养方式和电解质异常。目的:探讨以AKI为主要表现的新生儿AGE的临床特点和流行病学。材料和方法:2019年12月至2021年5月,在印度哈里亚纳邦安巴拉Mullana的MMIMS研究医院儿科新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)进行了一项前瞻性观察研究。在研究前获得了伦理委员会的伦理许可。在此期间NICU共收治新生儿510例。其中151名符合纳入标准的适龄新生儿被纳入研究。收集临床数据和实验室调查,即血清电解质和肾功能测试(RFT),并输入符合研究目标的预测试形式。肾脏疾病改善总体预后(KDIGO)用于诊断AKI。结果:本研究中,151例AGE患者中,56例(37.09%)患者发生AKI。高钾血症85例(56.29%)是最常见的电解质异常,其次是高钠血症35例(23.18%)。只有15例(9.9%)患者出现低钠血症。41例(27.15%)患者出现酸中毒。纯配方喂养是AKI的唯一最易改变的危险因素。结论:喂养方式是影响新生儿AGE和AKI发生率增加的最重要且可改变的危险因素。与混合喂养或纯母乳喂养相比,纯配方奶粉喂养的婴儿更容易因饲料成分不当而发生AGE。因此,必须提倡纯母乳喂养。高钾血症仍然是这些患者中最常见的电解质异常。

Introduction: Thymic size is measured as Cardiothymic: Thoracic ratio (CT/T ratio) in chest X-ray. In a state of stress, the thymus tissue rapidly involutes, owing principally to the thymocytolytic effect of glucocorticosteroids. Different pre and postnatal factors affect thymic size in neonates. Aim: To determine the thymic size in preterm neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDF), its relation to survival to determine which antenatal and postnatal factors influence thymic size. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out in neonatal units of tertiary care hospital in North India from May 2018 to September 2019. Premature (<37 weeks gestation) neonates admitted in NICU with clinical and radiological evidence of RDS were included in the study. CT/T ratio was measured in chest X-ray. The quantitative data was presented as mean and standard deviation (SD) and were compared using student t-test, one-way ANOVA test and continuous non parametric data were compared using Pearson correlation coefficient test. Results: Mean age of 110 studied neonates was 32.07±1.76 weeks. The mean±SD CT/T in the study was 0.361±0.043. Mean CT/T ratio (0.372±0.043) of non survivor (44) was higher (0.356±0.043) than survivor neonates (66). This difference was statistically not significant (p-value=0.058). Mean CT/T ratio >0.361 has sensitivity 59.09% and specificity 68.18% for non survivor group. Logical regression analysis for probability of survival showed that as CT/T ratio increases probability of survival decreases. Mean CT/T ratio was not affected by gestational age, sex, mode of delivery, use of antenatal steroid, pre-eclampsia, mother’s parity, perinatal asphyxia and sepsis. Conclusion: The mean CT/T ratio was higher in non surviving neonates with RDS as compared to those who survived. Mean CT/T ratio is a poor predictor for mortality in premature neonates with RDS.
胸腺大小以胸透胸廓比值(CT/T比值)测量。在应激状态下,胸腺组织迅速收缩,主要是由于糖皮质激素的胸腺细胞溶解作用。不同的产前和产后因素影响新生儿胸腺大小。目的:观察呼吸窘迫综合征(RDF)早产儿胸腺大小及其与生存的关系,探讨影响胸腺大小的产前和产后因素。材料与方法:本前瞻性观察研究于2018年5月至2019年9月在印度北部三级医院的新生儿病房进行。早产儿(0.361)对非幸存者组的敏感性为59.09%,特异性为68.18%。生存概率的逻辑回归分析显示,随着CT/T比值的增加,生存概率降低。平均CT/T比值不受胎龄、性别、分娩方式、产前类固醇使用、先兆子痫、母亲胎次、围产期窒息和败血症的影响。结论:未存活的RDS患儿的CT/T比值高于存活患儿。平均CT/T比值不能很好地预测RDS早产儿的死亡率。

In a state of stress, the thymus tissue rapidly involutes, owing principally to the thymocytolytic effect of glucocorticosteroids. Different pre and postnatal factors affect thymic size in neonates. Aim: To determine the thymic size in preterm neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDF), its relation to survival to determine which antenatal and postnatal factors influence thymic size. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out in neonatal units of tertiary care hospital in North India from May 2018 to September 2019. Premature (<37 weeks gestation) neonates admitted in NICU with clinical and radiological evidence of RDS were included in the study. CT/T ratio was measured in chest X-ray. The quantitative data was presented as mean and standard deviation (SD) and were compared using student t-test, one-way ANOVA test and continuous non parametric data were compared using Pearson correlation coefficient test. Results: Mean age of 110 studied neonates was 32.07±1.76 weeks. The mean±SD CT/T in the study was 0.361±0.043. Mean CT/T ratio (0.372±0.043) of non survivor (44) was higher (0.356±0.043) than survivor neonates (66). This difference was statistically not significant (p-value=0.058). Mean CT/T ratio >0.361 has sensitivity 59.09% and specificity 68.18% for non survivor group. Logical regression analysis for probability of survival showed that as CT/T ratio increases probability of survival decreases. Mean CT/T ratio was not affected by gestational age, sex, mode of delivery, use of antenatal steroid, pre-eclampsia, mother’s parity, perinatal asphyxia and sepsis. Conclusion: The mean CT/T ratio was higher in non surviving neonates with RDS as compared to those who survived. Mean CT/T ratio is a poor predictor for mortality in premature neonates with RDS.","PeriodicalId":31116,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Neonatal Medicine and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71265094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction: Worldwide major proportion of preterm births is late preterm infants. Preterm infants are deprived of optimal in-utero nutrition leading to immediate consequences of growth failure and long-term complications like adverse neurodevelopment outcomes whereas preterm infants with fast catch up growth after birth have health consequences like obesity and hypertension in adulthood. Aim: To assess growth of late preterm infants at their term equivalent Gestational Age (GA) and compare their growth and body composition with term infants. Materials and Methods: This was a cohort study of late preterm (34 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks) infants that were Appropriate for Gestational Age (AGA) and controls that were AGA term infants (39 0/7 to 40 6/7 weeks). All enrolled late preterm infants were followed-up at term equivalent (39 0/7 to 40 6/7 weeks). Growth plotted on Fenton’s chart and body composition were calculated using pre-defined formula for total mid-upper arm area (cm2), mid-upper arm muscle area (cm2), mid-upper arm fat area (cm2), and the Arm Fat Index (AFI) (%). The data was analysed using Epi info (version 7.2) with student t-test for continuous variables and chi-square test for dichotomous variables. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of the 135 infants enrolled, 45 were late preterm and 90 were term born infants. Median GA of the case cohort was 35 (IQR 35-36) weeks and in the control cohort it was 39 (IQR 39-40) weeks. Total 45.7% (N=35) of the late preterm infants (after excluding loss to follow-up) were below 10th percentile (EUGR) at term GA. At term follow-up, mean weight and length of late preterm infants compared to term born infants was less and statistically significant. The mean Skin Fold Thickness (SKT) (cm) at triceps level 0.55 (SD 0.07) vs. 0.49 (SD 0.06), mean of calculated AFI (%) 31.25 (SD 3.08) vs. 28.19 (SD 2.5) and among late preterm infants at follow-up was more than in term infants and was statistically significant. Conclusion: Failure to thrive is common among the late preterm infants at term equivalent GA. Late preterm infants show postnatal growth characterised by predominant fat mass accretion and less lean mass.
导言:世界范围内早产的主要比例是晚期早产儿。早产儿被剥夺了最佳的宫内营养,导致生长衰竭的直接后果和长期并发症,如不良的神经发育结果,而出生后快速追赶生长的早产儿在成年后会产生肥胖和高血压等健康后果。目的:评估晚期早产儿足月等效胎龄(GA)的生长情况,并与足月婴儿的生长和身体组成进行比较。材料和方法:这是一项队列研究,研究对象是适合胎龄(AGA)的晚期早产儿(34 0/7至36 6/7周)和AGA足月婴儿(39 0/7至40 6/7周)。所有入组的晚期早产儿在足月(39 0/7至40 6/7周)随访。使用预先定义的公式计算上臂总面积(cm2)、上臂肌肉面积(cm2)、上臂脂肪面积(cm2)和上臂脂肪指数(AFI)(%)。使用Epi info (version 7.2)对数据进行分析,对连续变量采用学生t检验,对二分变量采用卡方检验。p值<0.05认为有统计学意义。结果:纳入的135例婴儿中,45例为晚期早产儿,90例为足月婴儿。病例队列的中位GA为35周(IQR 35-36),对照队列的中位GA为39周(IQR 39-40)。总共45.7% (N=35)的晚期早产儿(排除随访损失后)在足月GA时低于第10百分位(EUGR)。在足月随访中,与足月出生婴儿相比,晚期早产儿的平均体重和身高更少,且具有统计学意义。三头肌水平的平均皮肤褶厚(SKT) (cm)为0.55 (SD 0.07)比0.49 (SD 0.06),计算出的AFI(%)的平均值为31.25 (SD 3.08)比28.19 (SD 2.5),晚期早产儿随访时高于足月儿,差异有统计学意义。结论:发育不良在足月等效GA晚期早产儿中较为常见。晚期早产儿表现出以脂肪堆积为主、瘦肉堆积较少为特征的产后生长。
