ABSTRACT
Context Newborns' low birth weight (LBW) has been linked to early infant morbidity and mortality. However, our understanding of the determinants and outcomes of LBW in this population is still poor.

Aim:

This study aimed to assess determinants and outcomes of LBW among newborns at a tertiary hospital. Settings and

Design:

Retrospective cohort study at Women and Newborn Hospital in Lusaka Zambia. Subjects and

Methods:

We reviewed delivery case records and neonatal files between January 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019, for newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Statistical Analysis Used Logistic regression models were used to establish determinants of LBW and describe the outcomes.

Results:

Women living with human immunodeficiency virus infection were more likely to deliver LBW infants (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.46; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16-1.86). Other maternal determinants of LBW were; increased parity (AOR = 1.22; 95% CI 1.05-1.43), preeclampsia (AOR = 6.91; 95% CI 1.48-32.36), and gestational age <37 weeks compared to 37 weeks or more (AOR = 24.83; 95% CI 13.27-46.44). LBW neonates were at higher odds of early mortality (AOR = 2.16; 95% CI 1.85-2.52), developing respiratory distress syndrome (AOR = 2.96; 95% CI 2.53-3.47), and necrotizing enterocolitis (AOR = 1.66; 95% CI 1.16-2.38) than neonates with a birth weight of 2500 g or more.

Conclusions:

These findings underscore the importance of effective maternal and neonatal interventions to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality for neonates with LBW in Zambia and other similar settings.
Résumé Contexte Le faible poids de naissance des nouveau-nés (LBW) a été lié à la morbidité et à la mortalité précoces du nourrisson. Cependant, notre compréhension des déterminants et des résultats de LBW dans cette population est encore médiocre. Objectif Cette étude visait à évaluer les déterminants et les résultats de LBW chez les nouveau-nés dans un hôpital tertiaire. Paramètres et conception Étude de cohorte rétrospective à l'hôpital des femmes et du nouveau-né à Lusaka Zambia. Sujets et méthodes Nous avons examiné les dossiers de cas de livraison et les dossiers néonatals entre le 1er janvier 2018 et le 30 septembre 2019 pour les nouveau-nés admis à l'unité de soins intensifs néonatals. Analyse statistique utilisée des modèles de régression logistique ont été utilisés pour établir des déterminants de LBW et décrire les résultats. Résultats Les femmes vivant avec une infection par le virus de l'immunodéficience humaine étaient plus susceptibles de livrer des nourrissons LBW (rapport de cotes ajustée [AOR] = 1,46; intervalle de confiance à 95% [IC] 1,16­1,86). Les autres déterminants maternels de LBW étaient; Parité accrue (AOR = 1,22; IC à 95% 1,05­1,43), prééclampsie (AOR = 6,91; IC à 95% 1,48­32,36) et âge gestationnel <37 semaines par rapport à 37 semaines ou plus (AOR = 24,83; 95% IC 13.27­46.44). Les nouveau-nés LBW étaient à des chances de mortalité précoce plus élevés (AOR = 2,16; IC à 95% 1,85­2,52), développant un syndrome de détresse respiratoire (AOR = 2,96; IC à 95% 2,53­3,47) et en entérocolite nécrotitaire (AOR = 1,66; 95 % IC 1,16­2,38) que les nouveau-nés avec un poids de naissance de 2500 g ou plus.

Conclusions:

Ces résultats soulignent l'importance des interventions maternelles et néonatales efficaces pour réduire le risque de morbidité et de mortalité pour les nouveau-nés avec LBW en Zambie et d'autres contextes similaires. Mots-clés Déterminants, infection par le virus de l'immunodéficience humaine, faible poids à la naissance, nouveau-nés.
