Acompanhamento dos desfechos clínicos no primeiro ano de vida de prematuros

Abstract

The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate clinical outcomes of the first year of life of premature infants discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) based on mortality and readmission data, and the motor development of the children. The sample consisted of 170 children with gestational age under 37 weeks and who survived hospitalization in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Data were collected from medical records, the hospital IT system and telephone interview with the caregiver. The authors found 100% survival during the study period and that 39.4% of the infants were often readmitted (26.5%) due to respiratory conditions. Their development was considered as expected, when using the corrected age. In conclusion, the premature infants from this study showed good clinical evolution of the proposed observation.

Serious Game e-Baby Família: an educational technology for premature infant care

“…Both are related to decisions made by parents involving children care, either preventing the proximity of people with the flu or sick, or implementing interventions in the face of injuries. The relevance of this finding and the preventive potential of health education by e-Baby Família is highlighted, considering the high rehospitalization rate of preterm infants in the first year of life, reaching 39.4% of infants, mainly due to respiratory complications (56.3%) (32) .…”

Importância da correção da idade gestacional na avaliação motora de prematuros no primeiro ano de vida

“…Adicionalmente, Volpi [10] demostrou que bebês prematuros de muito baixo peso, porém sem sequelas neurossensoriais, caminharam no limite previsto, sendo este, aos 12,8 meses de idade corrigida e no mesmo estudo, conclui que a correção da idade deve ser feita até a aquição de marcha independente, o que não difere muito do encontrado neste estudo. Portanto, embora seja unânime entre pesquisadores que a correção da idade gestacional em bebês prematuros altera de forma considerável o número de crianças classificadas como atrasadas ou com risco de atraso no seu desenvolvimento [8,28], ainda existem controvérsias na literatura quanto as faixas etárias de aplicação.…”
