Co-relation of maternal risk factors and perinatal events with immediate neonatal outcome in late preterm compared to term small for gestational age babies
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To establish co-relation of maternal risk factors and perinatal events with the immediate neonatal outcome in late preterm compared to term small for gestational age (SGA) babies. Method: This observational study was conducted in the postnatal ward and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of an urban tertiary care unit. The out born babies are excluded. Results: The percentage of jaundice was higher in late preterm (PT) babies (54.8%) compared to term SFD babies (45.16%). Jaundice was the most common cause for referral to the NICU in both the groups [54.84% in late pre-terms and 45.16% in term SGAs], but other indications seen in the late pre-terms included sepsis, feeding dificulty and hypoglycemia. Conclusion: There was significantly increased risk of perinatal asphyxia, feeding dificulty, sepsis and hypoglycaemia in the late preterm infants as compared to the term SGA infants.
