RESUMO

Introducción. Con el uso de la nutrición parenteral agresiva en recién nacidos de muy bajo peso, se detectaron alteraciones del metabolismo fosfocálcico. En 2016 se implementó una estrategia de prevención a través del monitoreo fosfocálcico y su suplementación temprana. El objetivo fue estudiar si esta estrategia disminuye la prevalencia de osteopenia e identificar factores de riesgo asociados. Población y métodos. Estudio cuasiexperimental que comparó la prevalencia de osteopenia entre dos grupos: uno después de implementar la estrategia de monitoreo y suplementación fosfocálcica (01/01/2017-31/12/2019), y otro previo a dicha intervención (01/01/2013-31/12/2015). Resultados. Se incluyeron 226 pacientes: 133 pertenecen al período preintervención y 93 al posintervención. La prevalencia de osteopenia global fue del 26,1 % (IC95% 20,5-32,3) y disminuyó del 29,3 % (IC95% 21,7-37,8) en el período preintervención al 21,5 % (IC95% 13,6-31,2) en el posintervención, sin significancia estadística (p = 0,19). En el análisis multivariado, el puntaje NEOCOSUR de riesgo de muerte al nacer, recibir corticoides posnatales y el período de intervención se asociaron de manera independiente a osteopenia. Haber nacido luego de la intervención disminuyó un 71 % la probabilidad de presentar fosfatasa alcalina >500 UI/L independientemente de las restantes variables incluidas en el modelo. Conclusión. La monitorización y suplementación fosfocálcica precoz constituye un factor protector para el desarrollo de osteopenia en recién nacidos con muy bajo peso al nacer.


Introduction. With the use of aggressive parenteral nutrition in very low birth weight infants, alterations in calcium and phosphate metabolism were detected. In 2016, a prevention strategy was implemented through calcium phosphate monitoring and early supplementation. Our objective was to study whether this strategy reduces the prevalence of osteopenia and to identify associated risk factors. Population and methods. Quasi-experiment comparing the prevalence of osteopenia between two groups: one after implementing the calcium phosphate monitoring and supplementation strategy (01/01/2017­12/31/2019) and another prior to such intervention (01/01/2013­12/31/2015). Results. A total of 226 patients were included: 133 in the pre-intervention period and 93 in the post-intervention period. The overall prevalence of osteopenia was 26.1% (95% CI: 20.5­32.3) and it was reduced from 29.3% (95% CI: 21.7­37.8) in the pre-intervention period to 21.5% (95% CI: 13.6­31.2) in the post-intervention period, with no statistical significance (p = 0.19). In the multivariate analysis, the NEOCOSUR score for risk of death at birth, use of postnatal corticosteroids, and the intervention period were independently associated with osteopenia. Being born after the intervention reduced the probability of alkaline phosphatase > 500 IU/L by 71%, regardless of the other variables included in the model. Conclusion. Calcium phosphate monitoring and early supplementation is a protective factor against the development of osteopenia in very low birth weight infants.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Intravascular venous (VUC) or arterial (AUC) umbilical catheter placement is the most frequent invasive procedure in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Either Wright's or Shukla's formula is used to introduce the catheters. However, Shukla's formula is associated with incorrect insertion, especially for newborns < 1500 g. This study aimed to determine by chest X-ray if Wright's formula is better than Shukla's formula for the correct placement of umbilical catheters in newborns ≤ 1500 g. METHODS: We included patients admitted to the NICU of a secondary-level hospital between 2021-2022 who received VUC or AUC through the Wright or Shukla formulas. RESULTS: A total of 129 newborns were included: 78 with VUC and 51 with AUC. In VUC, 50% with Wright and 36.8% with Shukla formulas had the correct location, (p = 0.24). In AUC, 56.6 % with Wright and 52.4% with Shukla formulas were placed correctly placed, (p = 0.76). VUC with weight < 1000 g were correctly placed in 36.4% with Wright and 33.3% with Shukla formulas (p = 0.58). VUC in newborns > 1000 g were correctly placed in 66.6% with Wright and 38.4% with Shukla formulas (p = 0.065). AUC in newborns < 1000 g were correctly placed in 45% using Wright and 42.9% Shukla formulas (p = 0.63). AUC in newborns > 1000 g were correctly placed in 80% using Wright and 57.1% Shukla formulas (p = 0.23). CONCLUSIONS: We found 13% more correctly placed VUC using Wright's formula. Moreover, Wright's formula was 29% above Shukla's VUC placement in neonates > 1000 g, although there was no significant difference due to the sample size.


INTRODUCCIÓN: La colocación de catéteres intravasculares venosos umbilicales (CVU) y arteriales (CAU) es el procedimiento invasivo más frecuente en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales (UCIN). Para introducirlos se utilizan las fórmulas de Wright y de Shukla, aunque esta última podría estar asociada con una inserción incorrecta, especialmente en neonatos < 1500 g. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar mediante radiografía de tórax cuál fórmula es mejor para la correcta colocación de catéteres umbilicales en recién nacidos ≤ 1500 g. MÉTODOS: Se incluyeron los pacientes ingresados en la UCIN de un hospital de segundo nivel entre 2021-2022 que recibieron CVU o CAU mediante las fórmulas de Wrigth o Shukla. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron en total 129 recién nacidos: 78 CVU y 51 CAU. En CVU, Wright 50% y Shukla 36.8% tuvieron localización correcta, p = 0.24. En las CAU, Wright 56.6% y Shukla 52.4% tenían una ubicación correcta, p = 0.76. En CVU con peso < 1000 g, Wright 36.4% y Shukla 33.3% bien situados, p = 0.58. En CVU > 1000 g, Wright 66.6% y Shukla 38.4% bien situados, p = 0.065. En CAU < 1000 g, Wright 45% y Shukla 42.9%, p = 0.63. En CAU con peso > 1000 g, Wright 80% y Shukla 57.1%, p = 0.23. CONCLUSIONES: La colocación del CVU fue 13% mejor con la fórmula de Wright. La fórmula de Wright superó en el 29% la colocación del CVU en los neonatos > 1000 g en comparación con la de Shukla, aunque no hubo diferencia significativa debido al tamaño de la muestra.

RESUMO

Introducción: La malnutrición fetal incide de forma negativa en el crecimiento y la maduración, afectando las estructuras craneofaciales en el feto. Objetivo: Determinar los efectos de la malnutrición fetal por defecto en el crecimiento y desarrollo craneofacial en niños. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio analítico de casos y controles, en el área de salud José Martí del municipio Camagüey, desde enero de 2018 hasta diciembre de 2020. El universo estuvo constituido por niños de 6-11 años de edad, pertenecientes al área salud y la muestra quedó conformada por 40 niños, 20 en el grupo de estudio y 20 controles. El grupo de estudio se conformó por niños que presentaron bajo peso al nacer por defecto y tuvieron alteraciones en el crecimiento del complejo craneofacial y el grupo control por niños que no presentaron alteraciones en el crecimiento del complejo craneofacial y que al nacimiento se encontraban normopeso. A todos los niños se les efectuaron mediciones antropométricas craneofaciales. Resultados: La medida de la circunferencia cefálica al nacer en los controles masculinos superó en 0,78 cm al sexo femenino y entre los malnutridos por defecto, los masculinos lograron 1,57 cm más que los femeninos. En el diámetro bicigomático hubo una fuerte asociación estadística y el riesgo relativo indicó que la incidencia del bajo peso al nacer fue mayor que en los controles (p <0,05). Conclusiones: Los niños con bajo peso al nacer presentan menor crecimiento y desarrollo craneofacial según las variables antropométricas.


Introduction: Fetal malnutrition impacts in a negative way the growth and development, thus affecting the craniofacial structures of the fetus. Objective: To determine the effects of fetal malnutrition by defect on craniofacial growth and development in children. Methods: An analytical case and control study was carried out in Jose Martí health area of Camagüey, from January 2018 to December 2020. A sample of 40 was selected from the totality of the children between 6 and 11 years old who belong to the referred health area, to be divided into 20 cases and the same number in the control group. The study group was composed of those low birth weight who present craniofacial abnormalities while control group included the children without craniofacial abnormalities and normal weight at birth. Anthropometric craniofacial measurements were performed on all the sample. Results: The head circumference at birth in male children of control group was 0.78 cm higher than that on female sex. Among those low birth weight, male children exhibited 1.57 cm higher than females. Regarding the bizygomatic diameter there was a strong statistic association and the relative risk indicated a higher incidence on the study group compared to the control group (p <0.05). Conclusions: Low birth weight children show lower craniofacial growth and development, with higher impact on females according to anthropometric variables.

RESUMO

El abordaje nutricional en los recién nacidos de muy bajo peso al nacimiento constituye un desafío en la práctica clínica de los neonatólogos, y muchas veces se aborda fuera del período crítico. Existe evidencia contundente de que la optimización nutricional precoz impacta en forma directamente proporcional en la sobrevida y sobrevida sin morbilidades mayores para este grupo. La implementación de lactancia materna precoz en este contexto debe ser una prioridad del equipo asistencial, siendo la mejora de calidad una herramienta de demostrada utilidad para mejorar los resultados en términos de mortalidad y morbilidad neonatal.


The nutritional approach of the very low birth weight infant poses a great challenge to most neonatologists in their clinical practice, and it is frequently delayed until de newborn is in stable clinical conditions. Currently, scientific evidence supports that early nutritional optimization impacts directly on this group's survival and on their survival without major morbidities. Initiatives fostering early breastfeeding should be prioritized by the healthcare team. Quality improvement has shown to be a very useful resource to improve outcomes regarding neonatal mortality and morbidities.


A abordagem nutricional do recém-nascido de muito baixo peso representa um grande desafio para a maioria dos neonatologistas em sua prática clínica, sendo frequentemente postergada até que o recém-nascido esteja em condições clínicas estáveis. Atualmente, evidências científicas sustentam que a otimização nutricional precoce impacta diretamente na sobrevivência desse grupo e na sobrevivência sem maiores morbidades. Iniciativas de incentivo ao aleitamento materno precoce devem ser priorizadas pela equipe de saúde. A melhoria da qualidade tem se mostrado um recurso muito útil para melhorar os desfechos em relação à mortalidade e morbidades neonatais.

RESUMO

Introducción. La mortalidad de los recién nacidos de muy bajo peso de nacimiento (RNMBPN) se ha mantenido en ~26 % en los últimos 16 años en la Red Neonatal NEOCOSUR. Objetivo. Determinar la causa de muerte de los RNMBPN y su temporalidad en el período 20072016 en la Red Neonatal NEOCOSUR. Población y métodos. Estudio observacional de cohorte multicéntrica; análisis retrospectivo de datos obtenidos prospectivamente. Se incluyeron recién nacidos entre 24 y 31+6 semanas de edad gestacional y peso de nacimiento de 500-1500 g, en 26 centros de la Red Neonatal NEOCOSUR. Las causas de muerte se analizaron según ocurriera en sala de partos (SP) o durante la estadía en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales (UCIN). La edad posnatal de muerte se determinó a través de análisis de Kaplan-Meier. Resultados. Se incluyeron un total de 11.753 RNMBPN con una mortalidad global del 25,6 %. Las causas de muerte predominantes en SP fueron malformaciones congénitas (43,3 %), enfermedades respiratorias (14,3 %) y prematuridad (11,4 %). Las causas de muerte predominantes en UCIN fueron las respiratorias (24,2 %) e infecciosas (24,1 %). La edad promedio de muerte fue de 10,2 días y mediana de 4 días. El 10,2 % de las muertes ocurrieron en SP; el 21,5 %, durante el primer día; el 52 % ocurrió en los primeros 4 días y el 63,8 %, durante la primera semana de vida. Conclusiones. Se encuentran importantes diferencias en las causas de muerte de RNMBPN según ocurra en SP o en UCIN. Las infecciosas y respiratorias son las más relevantes luego del ingreso a la unidad de cuidados intensivos.


Introduction. Mortality in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) has remained at ~26% in the past 16 years in the NEOCOSUR Neonatal Network. Objective. To determine the cause of death of VLBWIs and its temporality in the 2007-2016 period in the NEOCOSUR Neonatal Network. Population and methods. Observational, multicenter cohort study; retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively. Newborn infants born between 24 and 31+6 weeks of gestation age with a birth weight between 500 and 1500 g in the 26 sites of the NEOCOSUR Neonatal Network were included. The causes of death were analyzed depending on whether they occurred in the delivery room (DR) or in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The postnatal age at time of death was determined using the KaplanMeier test. Results. A total of 11 753 VLBWIs were included; overall mortality was 25.6%. The prevailing causes of death in the DR were congenital malformations (43.3%), respiratory diseases (14.3%), and prematurity (11.4%). The prevailing causes of death in the NICU were respiratory diseases (24.2%) and infections (24.1%). The average and median age at death were 10.2 and 4 days, respectively. Also, 10.2% of deaths occurred in the DR; 21.5% on day 1, 52% in the first 4 days, and 63.8% in the first week of life. Conclusions. Important differences were observed in the causes of death of VLBWIs depending on their occurrence in the DR or the NICU. Infectious and respiratory conditions were the most relevant factors following admission to the NICU.

RESUMO

Resumen La enfermedad ósea metabólica del prematuro es una patología multifactorial que representa una importante causa de morbilidad, cuya prevalencia ha aumentado. Su diagnóstico requiere criterios bioquímicos, radiológicos y, en etapas avanzadas, clínicos; por lo cual, muchos autores recomiendan estrategias de tamizaje y prevención. El objetivo del presente artículo es realizar una revisión de los aspectos más relevantes respecto a la enfermedad ósea metabólica del prematuro, con énfasis en la prevención y tratamiento precoz. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con términos MeSH, en las bases de datos de Pubmed, ClinicalKey, ScienceDirect, SciELO y LILACS. Aunque no hay consenso en las pautas de tamizaje, diagnóstico y tratamiento, la principal estrategia usada en la actualidad es el soporte nutricional individualizado que cubra las demandas de calcio, fósforo y vitamina D, asociado a métodos de intervención clínica y seguimiento de bebés de alto riesgo. La comprensión de esta patología permitirá mejorar las estrategias de tamización, diagnóstico precoz, y de esta forma evitará complicaciones.


Abstract Metabolic bone disease of prematurity is a multifactorial pathology that represents a significant cause of morbidity and has increased in prevalence. Its diagnosis requires biochemical, radiological, and, in advanced stages, clinical criteria; therefore, many authors recommend screening and prevention strategies. This article aims to review the most relevant aspects of the metabolic bone disease of prematurity, with emphasis on prevention and early treatment. A bibliographic review was carried out with MeSH terms in the Pubmed, ClinicalKey, ScienceDirect, SciELO, and LILACS databases. Although there is no consensus on screening, diagnosis and treatment guidelines, the main strategy currently used is to provide individualized nutritional support that covers the demands of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D associated with clinical intervention methods and monitoring of high-risk babies. Understanding this pathology will improve screening strategies and early diagnosis and thus avoid complications.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Fundamento La comparación de los resultados del neurodesarrollo en recién nacidos de muy bajo peso según cohortes de años de nacimiento permite evaluar el impacto de las diferentes intervenciones llevadas a cabo para prevenir y tratar las afecciones más frecuentes en este grupo de pacientes durante el período perinatal y neonatal, así como de las diferentes condiciones y enfermedades que se presentan en estas etapas del desarrollo. Objetivo evaluar el neurodesarrollo a los dos años de edad corregida en una cohorte de recién nacidos de muy bajo peso. Métodos estudio observacional prospectivo, que incluyó a recién nacidos pretérminos con peso al nacer <1500 g egresados vivos del Hospital Docente Ginecobstétrico Provincial de Matanzas, en el período 2016-2018, y que hubieran completado su seguimiento en consulta de neurodesarrollo a los dos años de edad corregida (N=52). Los datos contenidos en las historias clínicas fueron almacenados en una base de datos (SPSS v. 22.0), a partir de la cual se realizó el procesamiento estadístico. Se consideró significativo todo valor p <0,05. Resultados a los dos años de edad corregida, el 90 % de los pacientes eran normales; las alteraciones mayores y menores se encontraron, respectivamente, en 2 y 8 % de los casos. Las convulsiones neonatales clínicas se asociaron significativamente con la ocurrencia de alteraciones del neurodesarrollo. Conclusión La incidencia de alteraciones del neurodesarrollo a los dos años de edad corregida en recién nacidos de muy bajo peso en Matanzas fue menor en el período estudiado, en relación a años anteriores, aunque este hallazgo no resultó estadísticamente significativo.


ABSTRACT Background The comparison of neurodevelopmental results in very low birth weight newborns according to birth year cohorts allows evaluating the impact of the different interventions carried out to prevent and treat the most frequent conditions in this group of patients during the perinatal period and neonatal, as well as the different conditions and diseases that occur in these stages of development. Objective to evaluate neurodevelopment at two years of corrected age in a cohort of very low birth weight newborns. Methods prospective observational study, which included preterm newborns with birth weight <1500 g discharged alive from the Provincial Gynecobstetric Teaching Hospital of Matanzas, in the period 2016-2018, and who had completed their follow-up in a neurodevelopment consultation at two years old corrected age (N=52). The data contained in the medical records were stored in a database (SPSS v. 22.0), from which the statistical processing was performed. Any value p<0.05 was considered significant. Results at two years old of corrected age, 90% of the patients were normal; major and minor alterations were found, respectively, in 2 and 8% of cases. Clinical neonatal seizures were significantly associated with the occurrence of neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Conclusion The incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders at two years old of corrected age in very low birth weight newborns in Matanzas was lower in the period studied, in relation to previous years, although this finding was not statistically significant.

RESUMO

Introducción: El bajo peso al nacer requiere de un enfoque en sus determinantes para aumentar el alcance estratégico del programa. Objetivo: Identificar las determinantes biológicas y sociales de salud asociadas al bajo peso al nacer. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico de casos y controles en los recién nacidos con bajo peso al nacer pertenecientes al municipio de Las Tunas, provincia Las Tunas, en el período comprendido de enero a diciembre de 2021. El universo de estudio estuvo representado por el 100 % de los nacidos con peso inferior a los 2 500 gramos, que constituyeron los casos (121). La muestra se obtuvo de los normopesos a través de un muestreo aleatorio simple, se tuvo en cuenta una razón de dos controles por cada caso en el período de estudio escogido, (204) controles. Se analizaron las determinantes edad materna, antecedentes patológicos personales, antecedentes obstétricos desfavorables, número de partos, hipertensión arterial, anemia, infección vaginal, infección urinaria, ocupación escolaridad y estado civil. Se utilizaron medidas específicas como el Odds ratio y riesgo atribuible. Los datos fueron procesados y se representaron en tablas. Resultados: Las edades extremas de la vida, la hipertensión arterial, los antecedentes patológicos personales, la ganancia insuficiente de peso materno al final del embarazo (OR 6.6, 4.7, 4.3, 4.2), así como las determinantes sociales escolaridad, ocupación y estado civil (OR 4.8, 5.3, 5.0) presentaron una fuerte asociación causal con el bajo peso al nacer. Conclusiones: El bajo peso al nacer en el municipio Las Tunas estuvo asociado a las variables biológicas: edad, antecedentes patológicos personales, antecedentes obstétricos desfavorables, la insuficiente ganancia de peso al final del embarazo, la hipertensión arterial, infección urinaria, la anemia y sociales como ocupación, escolaridad y estado civil.


Introduction: Low birth weight requires a focus on its determinants to increase the strategic scope of the program. Objective: To identify the biological and social determinants of health associated with low birth weight. Methods: An observational, analytical case-control study was carried out in newborns with low birth weight belonging to the municipality of Las Tunas, Las Tunas province, in the period from January to December 2021. The universe of study was represented by 100% of those born weighing less than 2500 grams, which constituted the cases (121). The sample was obtained from normal weights through simple random sampling, taking into account a ratio of 2 controls for each case in the chosen study period, (204) controls. The determinants maternal age, personal pathological history (PPA), unfavorable obstetric history, number of deliveries, high blood pressure (HBP), anemia, vaginal infection, urinary infection, occupation, schooling and marital status were analyzed. Specific measures such as the Odds ratio (OR) and attributable risk (AR). The data were processed and represented in tables. Results: The extreme ages of life, HBP, APP, insufficient maternal weight gain at the end of pregnancy (OR 6.6, 4.7,4.3, 4.2), as well as the social determinants of schooling, occupation and marital status (OR 4.8, 5.3, 5.0) presented a strong causal association with low birth weight. Conclusions: Low birth weight in the Las Tunas Municipality was associated with biological variables: age, APP, unfavorable obstetric history, insufficient weight gain at the end of pregnancy, hypertension, urinary infection, anemia, and social factors such as occupation, education and marital status.

RESUMO

Introducción. La anemia es una complicación para los recién nacidos de muy bajo peso al nacer, y los exámenes de laboratorio son un factor de riesgo preponderante. Más del 50 % recibe, al menos, una transfusión de glóbulos rojos. Estas se han asociado a mayor riesgo de infecciones, hemorragia intracraneal, enterocolitis necrotizante y displasia broncopulmonar. En 2012, se implementó, en el Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, una estrategia de menor volumen de extracción de sangre por flebotomía. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar su asociación con el número detransfusiones.Métodos. Estudio cuasiexperimental del tipo antes/después. Se comparó el número de transfusiones entre dos grupos de prematuros de muy bajo peso con diferente volumen de extracción. Se evaluó la correlación entre el volumen extraído y el número de transfusiones estimando el coeficiente de Spearman. Para ajustar por confundidores, se realizó un modelo de regresión logística.Resultados. Se incluyeron en el estudio 178 pacientes con edad gestacional media de 29,4 semanas (desvío estándar: 2,7) y peso al nacer de 1145 gramos (875-1345). El perfil de la serie roja inicial fue similar entre ambos grupos. El número de transfusiones (p = 0,017) y el volumen transfundido (p = 0,048) disminuyeron significativamente. El coeficiente de correlación resultó de 0,83. En el análisis multivariado, volumen de extracción y peso al nacer se asociaron a un requerimiento mayor de 3 transfusiones.Conclusión. Un menor volumen de extracción de sangre en prematuros de muy bajo peso está asociado de manera independiente a menor requerimiento transfusional.


Introduction. Anemia is a complication in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, and lab tests are a predominant risk factor. At least one red blood cell transfusion is given in more than 50 % of cases. Transfusions are associated with a higher risk for infections, intracranial hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. In 2012, Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires implemented a strategy to collect a lower blood volume by phlebotomy. The objective of this study was to assess its association with the number of transfusions.Methods. Before-and-after, quasi-experimental study. The number of transfusions was compared between two groups of VLBW preterm infants with different blood collection volumes. The correlation between the collection volume and the number of transfusions was assessed estimating Spearman's coefficient. A logistic regression model was used to adjust for confounders.Results. The study included 178 patients with a mean gestational age of 29.4 weeks (standard deviation: 2.7) and a birth weight of 1145 g (875-1345). The baseline red series profile was similar between both groups. The number of transfusions (p = 0.017) and the transfusion volume (p = 0.048) decreased significantly. The correlation coefficient was 0.83. In the multivariate analysis, collection volume and birth weight were associated with a requirement of more than three transfusions.Conclusion. A lower blood collection volume in VLBW preterm infants is independently associated with fewer transfusion requirements.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The characteristics of catch-up growth in very low birth weight infants (VLBW) have not been clearly established. The aim of this study was to analyse the height catch-up and some associated factors in a cohort of VLBW (birth weight<1,500g) from birth to age 14 years. METHODS: We obtained retrospective data on weight and height at birth and ages one, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 years in a cohort of 170 VLBW. We compared these anthropometric values with those documented in a control group. RESULTS: Thirty-seven children (21.8%) were born with an extremely low birth weight and 32 (18.8%) extremely preterm. At 10 years of age, 7% of VLBW (1,000-1,500g) and 35% of extremely low birth weight (<1,500g) children had short stature (P=.001). Almost all VLBW children who had a normal height at ages 2, 4 and 10 years had exhibited adequate weight catch-up in previous evaluations. We found that extremely low birth weight and extremely preterm were independent predictors for inadequate height catch-up. CONCLUSION: The growth pattern of VLBW children has specific characteristics. The catch-up in weight seems to be an important factor for catch-up in height, and therefore a thorough nutritional follow-up is recommended in these children.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the usefulness, for use by the primary care pediatrician, of the BASC questionnaire (Behavior Assessment System for Children) for the early detection of psychological and behavioral problems in premature infants. DESIGN: Cross-sectional and descriptive study. SETTING: Primary care (Health Area IV of the Principado of Asturias) and Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias, Spain. PARTICIPANTS: Parents of 87 premature children with birth weight less than 1500g and 43 full-term controls, both aged 5-7 years. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The BASC questionnaire (parent version) was applied. RESULTS: Preterm children presented a high rate of inactivity (Z = -4.125, P < 0.001), anxiety (Z = -2.801, P = 0.005) and internalization problems (Z = -2.148, P = 0.032), being more evident at 5 years of age. Preterm boys show higher levels of hyperactivity (Z = -2.082, P = 0.037) and behavioural problems (Z = -2.354, P = 0.019) than girls, who presented more attentional problems (Z = -2.345; P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: The BASC questionnaire is useful for the detection and early diagnosis at the primary care level of the behavioral and emotional problems of premature children.

RESUMO

Introducción: La atención al dolor resulta prioritaria en las unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatales. No se recogen antecedentes en Cuba de implementación de algún protocolo para el abordaje del dolor en neonatos, que no se limite solamente al tratamiento farmacológico durante la asistencia respiratoria o cirugía neonatal. Objetivo: Determinar la efectividad de un protocolo para la prevención y alivio del dolor en recién nacidos menor de 500 gramos, basado principalmente en las recomendaciones de la Sociedad Iberoamericana de Neonatología. Métodos: Estudio basado en las recomendaciones de la Sociedad Iberoamericana de Neonatología, de tipo analítico prospectivo de ANTES y DESPUÉS en 55 neonatos menor de 1500 gramos, nacidos en el Hospital Ginecoobstétrico Docente Provincial de Matanzas en el período marzo/2016 a marzo/2018, en el cual se comparó la intensidad del dolor según la escala COMFORTneo aplicada durante la realización de tres procederes: inserción del catéter venoso umbilical, inserción de catéter percutáneo y punción del talón, en dos grupos de pacientes: un grupo antes (n=29) y un grupo después de aplicar el protocolo de dolor (n=26). Para el análisis de variables se empleó el coeficiente de Spearman. Se consideró significativo todo valor p menor de 0,05. Resultados: El peso promedio de los neonatos estudiados fue 1 180 gramos. Luego de la implementación del protocolo se observó una disminución significativa en la intensidad del dolor durante la realización de los procederes seleccionados. Las medidas no farmacológicas fueron las más empleadas. Conclusiones: El protocolo implementado es efectivo para lograr disminuir la intensidad del dolor en neonatos menor de 1 500 gramos(AU)


Introduction: Pain management is a priority in Neonatal Intensive Care Units. There are not antecedents in Cuba of any protocol carried out for management of neonatal pain, apart from the pharmacological treatment during neonatal respiratory assistance or surgery. Objective: To determine effectiveness of a protocol for prevention and pain relief in infants with less than 1500 grams, mainly based on recommendations of the Ibero-American Society of Neonatology. Methods: A prospective analytical study of before and after was made in 55 infants with less than 1500 grams, who were born in the Teaching Gynecological and Obstetric Provincial Hospital of Matanzas, Cuba, in the period from March,2016 to March, 2018. For the study, the intensity of pain was compared by means of the COMFORTneo scale, which was carried out during the performance of three procedures: umbilical vein catheterization, percutaneous venous catheterization and heel lance; in two patients groups: one before (n=29) and the other after the implementation of the pain protocol (n=26). Spearman coefficient was used for statistical analysis of ordinal qualitative variables. All less than; 0.05 values were considered significant. Results: The average weight of the studied newborns was 1 180 grams. After implementing the protocol, a significant decrease in pain intensity was observed during the performance of the selected procedures. Non-pharmacological measures were the most used. Conclusion: The implemented protocol is effective for decrease pain intensity in newborns with less than 1 500 grams(AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Behavioural disorders and learning disabilities are often recognised in<1,500g or<32 weeks very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. There is very limited data in the Spanish population. OBJECTIVE: To determine the presence of psychosocial disorders in preterm infants at 6 years of age, as assessed by the strength and difficulties (SDQ) questionnaire, in comparison to a reference population. To set a cut-off value to use SDQ as a screening tool for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the preterm child. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted on premature children assessed at 6 years of age using the SDQ. Perinatal variables, neurodevelopment, and diagnosis of ADHD, according to the DSM-5, were collected. RESULTS: A total of 214 children who met all the requirements, were included. When compared with the reference population they had significantly higher scores in emotional symptoms, in peer relationships, and in the total score of the test. The hyperactivity scale and the total test score are good predictors of a diagnosis of ADHD, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.76-0.90) for hyperactivity, and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.80-0.93) for the total score. The scores for hyperactivity and the total test, from which the screening for ADHD could be considered positive would be≥6 and≥13 respectively, and a combination of hyperactivity≥5 and total score≥12. CONCLUSIONS: Preterm children are at higher risk of emotional and peer relationship problems than those born full term. The SDQ test could be used for ADHD screening.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Growth restriction in preterm infants has been related to a poor neurodevelopment outcome. OBJECTIVES: To define the incidence of postnatal growth restriction in premature babies ≤1,500 grams and to detect related clinical or biochemical markers. METHODS: Retrospective longitudinal observational study. Multivariate linear regression models were used to determine variables that can predict the change in weight z-score during admission. RESULTS: The study included 130 patients with a mean birthweight of 1,161±251grams and a gestational age of 29.9±2.5 weeks. At hospital discharge, 59.2% had a weight below P10.During admission, the z-scores of weight and length decreased by -0.85±0.79 and -1.09±0.65, respectively.The largest decrease in z-score occurred during NICU admission, with a weight gain rate of 6.6±8.8g/Kg/day, after which growth acceleration took place (16.7±3.8g/Kg/day), but was insufficient to catch-up.Higher levels of urea were negatively correlated with the change in the z-score of weight (P<.001), and a weight

RESUMO

Describimos cambios recientes en el cuidado convencional al nacer en recién nacidos de muy bajo peso al nacer y la utilización de un tubo nasal corto para apoyar la ventilación inicial en este nuevo contexto. Reportamos nuestra experiencia con los tres primeros casos en que usamos esta técnica simple para administrar nCPAP a recién nacidos durante el alumbramiento mientras existe función placentaria antes de cortar el cordón.


We describe recent changes in conventional care at birth of very low birth weight infants and the use of a short nasal tube to support ventilation. We report our experience in the first three cases with this simple technique to deliver nCPAP to newborn infants during the third stage of labour, while the placenta is still functioning and before cutting the cord

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Proper nutrition is one of the primary objectives in the management of preterm infants. However, lack of evidence on the best strategy to achieve this objective has led to a great variability in feeding practices. This variability may be related to the differences in the incidence of complications, such as necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess the variability in clinical practice regarding enteral feeding in SEN-1500 Spanish network. METHOD: An observational study was conducted using a questionnaire sent out in 2013 requesting information about feeding very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates (bank milk, start time, trophic feeding, increases, fortifiers and probiotics). RESULTS: Responses were received from 60 of the 98 hospitals. The response rate was higher in centres with more than 50VLBW/year (30/31). Just over two-thirds (67%) have feeding protocols, and 52% refer to variability within their unit. A milk bank is available in 25% of the units. First feeding occurs fairly evenly throughout first 48hours, although it is delayed in lower gestational ages, even when there is no haemodynamic failure. In addition to hemodynamic instability there are other situations when the start is delayed (absence of breast milk, CIR, altered umbilical flow, asphyxia), while it is rarely delayed by absence of meconium or maintain an umbilical catheter.Half of those under 25 weeks begin directly with progressive increases instead of trophic feeding. Increases rarely reach 30ml/kg/day. Almost all use fortification and vitamins. There was a significant use of probiotics at the time of the survey. CONCLUSIONS: There is great variability in enteral nutrition policies in VLBW in Spain. Although some differences are justified by the lack of evidence, there are other interventions that have proven to be effective, such as evidence-based protocols or access to donor milk. Implementation in all the units could reduce the incidence of NEC and improve the nutritional status.
