“…In our study, we did not find any significant association of LPT birth with parity, which is in line with the data reported by a case-control study in 5 Italian Centers [25]. However, in a study conducted over 10 years to estimate outcomes of LPT deliveries, a significantly increased prevalence of late preterm birth in multiparous patient was reported [26].…”

Background: The incidence of preterm births is increasing and has become a global health concern. This study aimed to compare the outcome of late preterm (LPT) to full term (FT) neonates at two large hospitals in Upper Egypt. Results: Out of 250 newborns included in the study, 180 (72%) were FT and 70 (28%) were LPT. More than half of the LPT newborns (52.9%) were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), compared with 26.7% of FT newborns. Delivery of LPT was associated with an increased risk of neonatal morbidity, including jaundice requiring phototherapy (34.3% vs. 7.8%), respiratory morbidities (32.9% vs. 13.9%), hypoglycemia (8.6% vs. 1.7 %), and convulsions (4.3% vs. 0.6%). Conclusions: LPT neonates were more susceptible to suffer from jaundice and respiratory distress among other morbidities. They also had a higher rate of NICU admission, longer duration of NICU stay, as well as a higher mortality rate. The best treatment of late prematurity is to prevent it. Public and professional awareness of the problems associated with late prematurity should be highlighted. Follow-up programs for early detection and intervention for long term complications are recommended.

“…In the present study, there were no significant differences between TTN cases and healthy control groups regarding gravidity and parity, and this agreed with Algameel (2020) who found no significant association of late preterm birth who are susceptible to respiratory distress and TTN with parity, which in line with data reported by a case control study in 5 Italian Centers (Mandruzzato et al, 2013).…”

Background: Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a benign, self-limited condition that can present in full-term or late preterm infants. TTN is caused by delay in clearance of fetal lung fluid after birth.Objective: To evaluate the role of platelet mass index (PMI) in predicting the severity of transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN). Patient and methods:This was a case control study followed by follow up of cases till remission of TTN. It was carried out on 100 term and near-term neonates with TTN. Platelet mass index (PMI) test was done by CBC which included platelet count, as well as platelets indices such as mean platelets (MPV) in neonatal intensive care unit at Damietta, Al-Azhar University Hospital. PMI was calculated using the following formula: PMI = platelet count x mean platelet volume /103 (fl/nl).Results: Decreased platelet count and PMI were significantly associated with TTN when compared to control group. Increased duration of oxygen therapy was significantly associated with decreasing platelet count and PMI. MPV did not differ significantly between cases and controls as well as according to duration of oxygen therapy. Platelet count and PMI showed significant increase after remission. PMI showed significant positive correlations with platelet count, and significant negative correlations with duration of oxygen therapy. No significant correlations were found regarding of PMI with other parameters among studied TTN cases. Conclusion:Lower PMI and platelet count were associated with longer duration of oxygen therapy in patient with TTN, which could be used in prediction of severity of TTN.

“…Mandruzzato et al also supported our findings. 5 Association of previous abortion whether induced or spontaneous with late preterm birth is still not clear. In their review Throp et al reported an increase risk of preterm birth among women who previously had induced abortion.…”
