ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Evaluation of the consequences of preplanned delivery near term on the neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and its mechanism of occurrence. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
During five years, full-term infants (> or =37 weeks gestational age) admitted in the Institut de Puericulture de Paris, with a well characterized hyaline membrane disease, were included in a retrospective study.RESULTS:
During this period, 97 full-term neonates with respiratory distress syndrome were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. The diagnosis of hyaline membrane disease was made in view of clinical and radiological criteria. The study of mode of delivery has shown a high frequency of pre-planned delivery 54% caesarean and 24% vaginal delivery. A high-risk of occurrence of hyaline membrane disease was identified around 37 weeks gestational age in the case of preplanned delivery.CONCLUSION:
Preplanned delivery near 37 weeks gestational age may increase the risk of occurrence of hyaline membrane disease in full-term neonates.
