Abstract (english)
Abstract. Aim: To summarize our five-year experience in management of premature infants at our second level neonatal facility. Patients and methods: This prospective birth cohort study was performed at the Division of Neonatology (level 2), Department of Paediatrics, General hospital Pula during a five-year-period (January 1st 2012 – December 31st 2016). The study population included all live-born neonates born between 22nd and 37th gestational week. Results: During the above mentioned five-year-period, 289 premature infants were born at General Hospital Pula. One-hundred and sixty seven (58%) neonates were delivered vaginally and 122 (42%) were delivered by caesarean section. Nineteen (7%) neonates were born after in vitro fertilization. Infants were mostly male (N=167; 58%), and appropriate for gestational age (N=240; 83%). Also, the infants belonged mostly to the late-preterm group (N=245; 85%). Thirty-three premature infants (11%) were transferred to a tertiary paediatric centre and five neonates died (2%). The overall cost of hospital stay for hospitalized premature infants was 2,517,000 Croatian kunas (cost for one patient: median 4800, range 3,225-53,325); in euros, it was 335,600 (cost for one patient: median 640, range 430-7,110) respectively. The overall hospital stay was 10.01±8.30 days (median 8.00, range 1.00-67.00). Conclusion: Despite the great development of neonatal intensive care, the best prevention of complications related to prematurity is to prevent preterm labour.
Abstract (croatian)
Sažetak. Cilj: Prikazati kliničko-patološke karakteristike nedonoščadi liječene u našoj ustanovi u petogodišnjem razdoblju. Ispitanici i metode: Ova prospektivna studija učinjena je u Jedinici za bolesnu novorođenčad Odjela za pedijatriju Opće bolnice Pula (2. razina neonatalne skrbi) u petogodišnjem razdoblju (1. siječnja 2012. – 31. prosinca 2016.). U ispitivanje je uključena sva nedonoščad rođena između 22. i 37. navršenog tjedna trudnoće. Rezultati: Tijekom navedenog petogodišnjeg razdoblja u Općoj bolnici Pula rođeno je dvjesto osamdeset i devetero nedonoščadi. Stotinu šezdeset i sedmero (58 %) nedonoščadi rođeno je vaginalnim putem, a stotinu dvadeset i dvoje (42 %) carskim rezom. Devetnaestero (7 %) novorođenčadi rođeno je nakon postupka umjetne oplodnje. Nedonoščad je bila većinom muškog spola (N=167; 58 %) i normalne mase u odnosu na gestacijsku dob (N=240; 83 %). Najviše je nedonoščadi bilo u skupini kasne nedonoščadi (N=245; 85 %). Trideset i troje nedonoščadi (11 %) premješteno je u tercijarni pedijatrijski centar, a petero je nedonoščadi preminulo (2 %). Ukupna cijena liječenja nedonoščadi bila je 2.517.000,00 kuna (prosječna cijena boravka jednog nedonoščeta: medijan 4800, raspon 3225 – 53.325) ili 335.600 eura (prosječna cijena boravka jednog nedonoščeta: medijan 640, raspon 430 – 7110). Prosječno trajanje boravka bilo je 10,01±8,30 dana (medijan 8,00, raspon 1,00 – 67,00). Zaključci: Unatoč velikom napretku u neonatalnoj skrbi i boljim mogućnostima njege/liječenja nedonoščeta, najbolja prevencija komplikacija prematuriteta ostaje i dalje prevencija prijevremenog poroda.
