Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Our study proposed to evaluate and follow premature infants with a birth weight of less than 1500gin the neonatology unit of the National Reference and Nutrition Centre of the Rabat Child hospital. Methods: This was a retrospective, analytic descriptive study carried out over a one-year period (1er January to 31 December 2015) in the Neonatology service of the National Reference and nutrition Centre of the Rabat Children's Hospital.Children born before 37 weeks of amenorrhea (GA) were included with a birth weight less than or equal to 1500g; those with a birth weight greater than 1500g, term newborns and with hypotrophy were excluded from the study. Results: The analysis focused on 50 premature babies. Their age varied between 28 SA and 36 SA, at the output the variable weight from 1500 to 2250 g with an average of 1732±196, the average absolute gain was 19.9 g / day, the size ranged from 39 to 44 cm, the absolute height gain was 0.11 cm / day.The majority of premature infants were fed with breast milk and / or pre-milk with vitamin D plus iron through an orogastric tube. 54% of premature babies acquired food independence between 36 and 38 weeks of the corrected age. Conclusion: Premature feeding is a neonatal emergency, as an early deficit can have long-term consequences. In our experience the presence of moms in the service, the early initiation of breastfeeding coupled with a supplement with preterm formula, have allowed us good results on growth in the medium term.
