Abstract

Background: High risk pregnancies are among the most significant factors determining the mortality and morbidity rates of NEONATEs. Awareness of and prevention of these factors may have an effective role in the prognosis and survival of NEONATEs. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 310 newborns who were referred to the neonatal INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (NICU) of Zeinabieh Hospital from April to September 1999. Maternal and neonatal data including demographic information, prenatal care history, mode of delivery, delivery-related problems, gestational age, birthweight, 5th minute Apgar score, outcome and duration of admission were sought. Results: Among 2480 NEONATEs who were born at Zeinabieh Hospital, 310 (12.5%) were admitted to the NICU ward. 44.5% of the NEONATEs were product of cesarean section. 47.5% of the NEONATEs were premature and 49% of them had a birthweight less than 2500 grams. The most prevalent causes of admission to the NICU were PREMATURITY and respiratory distress syndrome (43.9%), ASPHYXIA (20.6%) and meconium aspiration (11.9%). The higher the Apgar score in the, the lower the mortality rate. According to their outcome, 74.5% of the NEONATEs were discharged from the NICU, 8.1% were transferred to other medical centers and 17% expired (out of which 88.7% had a birthweight of less than 2500 gm). The duration of admission was between I to 49 days. Conclusion: Good prenatal care and appropriate attention to the delivery and labor processes can be very effective in reducing mortality and morbidity rates and can lead to fewer admissions to the NICU.
