[Prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in enterobacteria of neonatal sepsis and associated factors]. / Prevalencia de ß-lactamasas de espectro extendido en enterobacterias causantes de sepsis neonatal y factores asociados.

BACKGROUND: Infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamases enterobacteria (ESBL-EP) have implications for neonatal morbidity and mortality. AIM: To describe the prevalence of ESBL-EP in neonatal sepsis and associated factors. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted from August 2016 to August 2017; newborn babies (NB) hospitalized in the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara "Dr. Juan I. Menchaca" were included. The ESBL-EP were investigated by double-disk synergy test and its association with clinical and demographic characteristics of the NB. RESULTS: A total of 1,501 hospitalized NB were studied, with an average gestational age of 36.3 weeks. They were diagnosed 196 neonatal sepsis events, the most frequent etiologies were enterobacteria (45.5%). Resistance to ampicilin was found in 88.8% and to broad spectrum cephalosporins in more than 42% of the strains; 22.9% of them were ESBL phenotype. Apgar ≤ 7 at five minutes of life (OR 4.6; 95% CI 1.47-14.6) and gestational age < 37 weeks (OR 5.4; 95% CI 1.04-27.) increase the risk. CONCLUSION: In enterobacteria that cause neonatal sepsis, 22.9% were EP-ESBL; infection was more likely in patients with Apgar ≤ 7 at five minutes of age and in preterm infants.

Prevalencia de β -lactamasas de espectro extendido en enterobacterias causantes de sepsis neonatal y factores asociados / Prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in enterobacteria of neonatal sepsis and associated factors

Resumen Introducción: Las infecciones causadas por enterobacterias productoras de β-talactamasas de espectro extendido (EP-BLEE) tienen implicaciones sobre la morbilidad y mortalidad neonatal. Objetivo: Describir la prevalencia de EP-BLEE en sepsis neonatal y los factores asociados. Métodos: Estudio de cohorte prospectivo, desde agosto del 2016 a agosto del 2017. Se incluyeron recién nacidos (RNs) ingresados en el Hospital Civil de Guadalajara "Dr. Juan I. Menchaca". Mediante prueba de difusión de doble disco se indagó la presencia de EP-BLEE y su asociación con características clínicas y demográficas de los RNs. Resultados: Se estudiaron 1.501 RNs hospitalizados, con edad gestacional promedio de 36,3 semanas. Se diagnosticaron 196 eventos de sepsis neonatal, la etiología más frecuente fueron enterobacterias (45,5%); 88,8% demostraron resistencia a ampicilina y más de 42% a cefalosporinas de amplio espectro. El 22,9% presentó fenotipo BLEE positivo. Tener Apgar ≤ 7 a los cinco minutos de vida (OR 4,6; IC 95% 1,47-14,6) y edad gestacional < 37 semanas (OR 5,4; IC 95%1,04-27,7) incrementaron el riesgo. Conclusión: En las enterobacterias causantes de sepsis neonatal, 22,9% son EP-BLEE; la infección es más probable en pacientes con Apgar ≤ 7 a los cinco minutos de vida y en prematuros.

Mortalidad neonatal y factores asociados en recién nacidos internados en una Unidad de Cuidados Neonatales / Neonatal mortality and associated factors in newborn infants admitted to a Neonatal Care Unit

Introducción. La mayor supervivencia de pacientes prematuros ha modificado la epidemiología de las enfermedades del recién nacido, pero la mortalidad neonatal aún es el principal componente de la mortalidad infantil. El objetivo del estudio fue cuantificar la mortalidad neonatal y los factores asociados en recién nacidos internados en una Unidad de Cuidados Neonatales. Material y métodos. Estudio de cohorte prospectivo realizado de enero de 2016 a enero de 2017 en el Hospital Civil de Guadalajara "Dr. Juan I. Menchaca". Se cuantificó la incidencia de muertes y las condiciones asociadas mediante un análisis multivariado con regresión logística. Resultados. Se registraron 9366 nacidos vivos; fueron internados en la Unidad de Cuidados Neonatales el 15% (n: 1410). La mortalidad fue de 125,5 por 1000 recién nacidos internados (IC 95%: 109-144); las principales causas fueron malformaciones o enfermedades genéticas (28,2%), infecciones (24,9%) y síndrome de dificultad respiratoria (20,9%). Las condiciones asociadas a muerte fueron edad gestacional < 37 semanas (OR 2,41; IC 95%: 1,49-3,93), peso al nacer < 1500 gramos (OR 6,30; IC 95%: 4,159,55), dificultad respiratoria moderada/grave a los 10 minutos de vida (OR 1,89; IC 95%: 1,242,86), Apgar < 7 a los 5 minutos de vida (OR 9,40; IC 95%: 5,76-15,31), malformaciones congénitas (OR 5,52; IC 95%: 3,12-9,78) y menos de cinco consultas de control prenatal (OR 1,51; IC 95%: 1,09-2,08). Conclusiones. El nacimiento prematuro, bajo peso al nacer, dificultad respiratoria, Apgar < 7, malformaciones congénitas y antecedente de < 5 consultas de control prenatal se asociaron con mayor riesgo de muerte.

Introduction. The increasing survival rate of preterm infants has altered the epidemiology of neonatal diseases; however, neonatal mortality is still the main component of child mortality. The objective of this study was to evaluate neonatal mortality and associated factors in newborn infants admitted to a neonatal care unit. Material and methods. Prospective cohort study conducted between January 2016 and January 2017 at Hospital Civil de Guadalajara "Dr. Juan I. Menchaca." The incidence of deaths and associated conditions was evaluated using a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results. A total of 9366 live births were registered; 15% (n: 1410) of these were admitted to the neonatal care unit. The mortality rate was 125.5 per 1000 hospitalized newborn infants (95% confidence interval --#91;CI--#93;: 109-144); the main reasons for admission were congenital malformations or genetic disorders (28.2%), infections (24.9%), and respiratory distress (20.9%). The conditions associated with death were gestational age < 37 weeks (OR: 2.41, 95% CI: 1.49-3.93), birth weight < 1500 grams (OR: 6.30, 95% CI: 4.15-9.55), moderate/severe respiratory distress at 10 minutes (OR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.24-2.86), Apgar score < 7 at 5 minutes (OR: 9.40, 95% CI: 5.76-15.31), congenital malformations (OR: 5.52, 95% CI: 3.12-9.78), and less than 5 antenatal care visits (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.09-2.08). Conclusions. Preterm birth, low birth weight, respiratory distress, Apgar score < 7, congenital malformations, and a history of < 5 antenatal care visits were associated with a higher risk for death.
