Trends in Infant mortality rate and mortality for neonates born at less than 32 weeks and with very low birth weight

Abstract: The aim of the study was to assess the trend of the infant mortality rate between 1990-2004 and the neonatal mortality between [2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005] in infants born at less than 32 weeks of gestational age or with very low birth-weight. Based on secondary data, infant mortality rate and by its component for Valdivia city were compared with national indicators. Mortality at <32 weeks and <1500g was calculated, establishing causes of death and evaluating its relation with specific interventions, s… Show more

“…The missing medicines included those for inducing pulmonary maturation in the newborn, interrupting hemorrhage, preventing Rhnegative alloimmunization, or preventing neonatal conjunctivitis. This scenario is problematic since it can directly increase rates of such complications as miscarriage, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome 31 , maternal and infant death, and Sheehan syndrome 32 .…”

“…10 Além disso, o baixo peso ao nascer também expressa o retardo do crescimento intrauterino ou a prematuridade, que representa um importante fator de risco para a morbimortalidade neonatal e infantil. 8,11 Na literatura, há indícios de que existe uma forte relação entre o baixo peso ao nascer e a morbidade e mortalidade infantil, incluindo comprometimento neuromotor, problemas respiratórios crônicos e infecções. O baixo peso é um preditor da sobrevivência infantil, ou seja, quanto menor o peso ao nascimento, maior a possibilidade de morte precoce.…”
