BackgroundWe aimed to determine the current survival rate and short-term outcomes of very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs) in Korea, as well as whether the survival rate and short-term outcomes have improved over time since 2013, which was when the Korean Neonatal Network (KNN) was launched.MethodsThis study used data from the annual reports of the KNN from 2013 to 2020. A total of 16,351 VLBWIs born at gestational age (GA) ≥ 22 weeks between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2020, and who were registered in the KNN were enrolled. Serial outcomes were analyzed according to era (2013–14, 2015–16, 2017–18, and 2019–20).ResultsMore mothers delivered by cesarean section, had diabetes or hypertension during their pregnancy, and received antenatal steroids when analyzed by era. Fewer infants were intubated at birth and had air leaks when analyzed by era. The overall survival rate of VLBWIs between 2013 and 2020 was 87%. The rate of respiratory distress syndrome was 77% and that of bronchopulmonary dysplasia was 32% between 2013 and 2020. The rates of intraventricular hemorrhage (grade ≥ 3), periventricular leukomalacia, and sepsis decreased over time. The survival rate of infants with a GA of 26 weeks has improved serially according to era.ConclusionSince the launch of the KNN in 2013, the survival rates of infants with GA 26 weeks and short-term outcomes have improved, which implies a quality improvement in antenatal and delivery room care. Further studies on the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of these KNN registrants are warranted. 相似文献

BackgroundWe aimed to evaluate the long-term growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes of very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs, birth weight < 1,500 g) born between 2013, the establishment of the Korean Neonatal Network (KNN), and 2018, both at 18–24 months of corrected age and three years of age, using a nationwide large cohort, and to evaluate whether these outcomes have improved over time since 2013.MethodsThis study used data from the annual reports of the KNN for 18–24 months of corrected age (follow-up 1) and three years of age (follow-up 2). Follow-up 1 data were collected from 10,065 eligible VLBWIs born between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2018. Follow-up 2 data were collected from 8,156 eligible VLBWIs born between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2017.ResultsThe overall follow-up rates of VLBWIs at follow-ups 1 and 2 were 74.6% (7,512/10,065) and 57.7% (4,702/8,156), respectively. The overall mortality rate between discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit and follow-up 1 was 1% (104/10,065). The overall mortality rate between follow-ups 1 and 2 was 0.049% (4/8,156). Growth restrictions decreased over time, especially weight growth restrictions, which significantly decreased according to era (17% in infants born in 2013–2014 and 13% in infants born in 2017–2018). Fewer infants were re-hospitalized and required rehabilitative support according to era at follow-up 1. More infants had language developmental delays and required language support according to era, both at follow-ups 1 and 2. The incidence of cerebral palsy has significantly decreased over time, from 6% in infants born in 2013–2014 to 4% in infants born in 2017–2018 at follow-up 1, and from 8% in infants born in 2013–2014 to 5% in infants born in 2017 at follow-up 2.ConclusionLong-term outcomes of VLBWIs regarding weight growth and cerebral palsy, the most common motor disability in childhood, have improved serially according to era since 2013. However, the rate of infants with language delays requiring language support has increased according to era. Further studies are required on the increased trends of language delay and language support while improving motor outcomes. 相似文献

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the survival and morbidities of infants in the Korean Neonatal Network (KNN) with birth weight (BW) < 500 g.MethodsThe demographic and clinical data of 208 live-born infants with a BW < 500 g at a gestational age of ≥ 22 weeks who were treated in the neonatal intensive care units of the KNN between 2013 and 2017 were reviewed.ResultsThe survival rate of the infants was 28%, with a median gestational age and BW of 243/7 weeks (range, 220/7–336/7) and 440 g (range, 220–499), respectively. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis demonstrated that survival to discharge was associated with longer gestation, higher BW, female sex, singleton gestation, use of any antenatal corticosteroids, and higher Apgar scores at 5 minutes. The overall survival rates were significantly different between the BW categories of < 400 g and 400–499 g. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of any morbidity between the BW groups. Half of the deaths of infants with BW < 500 g occurred within a week of life, mainly due to cardiopulmonary and neurologic causes. The major causes of death in infants after 1 week of age were infection and gastrointestinal disease. Among the surviving infants, 79% had moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, 21% underwent surgical ligation of patent ductus arteriosus, 12% had severe intraventricular hemorrhage (grade III–IV), 38% had sepsis, 9% had necrotizing enterocolitis (stage ≥ 2), and 47% underwent laser treatment for retinopathy of prematurity. The median length of hospital stay was 132 days (range, 69–291), and 53% required assistive devices at discharge.ConclusionDespite recent advances in neonatal intensive care, the survival and morbidity rates of infants with BW < 500 g need further improvement. 相似文献

BackgroundPreterm infants are prone to sepsis owing to their immature innate immunity and prolonged hospitalization. We aimed to evaluate the association between late-onset sepsis (LOS) during hospitalization and neurodevelopmental delay at 18–24 months of corrected age in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs), and to ascertain this association when adjusted for perinatal risk factors.MethodsThis is a population-based study of VLBWIs born at 23–32 weeks of gestation between January 2014 and December 2017 who were enrolled in the Korean Neonatal Network. Bayley scales of infant development were evaluated at 18–24 months of corrected age in 2,098 infants. To test for LOS as a risk factor for neurodevelopmental delay, multiple logistic regression was used and adjusted for parental education status and clinical variables.ResultsBlood culture positive LOS was identified in 419 (20.0%) infants. Cognitive and motor delays were found in 392 (18.7%) and 347 (16.5%) infants, respectively. When multivariate analysis was performed, LOS had a significant association with cognitive delay (odds ratio, 1.48; 95% confidence interval, 1.02–2.16), but no association with motor delay in VLBWIs. Both delays were significantly more frequent in cases of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) ≥ grade 3, periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and duration of mechanical ventilation. Male sex and necrotizing enterocolitis ≥ grade 2 had an effect on motor delay, whereas paternal college graduation affected cognitive delay.ConclusionIn VLBWIs with LOS, there is a heightened risk of cognitive delays at 18–24 months of corrected age. Brain injury, such as severe IVH and PVL, duration of mechanical ventilation, and IUGR, were also associated with cognitive and motor delays. 相似文献

Background/aim Water immersion and epidural analgesia are the most preferred pain relief methods during the labor process. Adverse effects related to these methods, impact on the labor, and perception of pain is well studied in the literature. We aimed to investigate the cord blood level of copeptin, total serum oxidant (TOS), antioxidant (TAS), interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and oxytocin after the labor with water immersion, epidural analgesia, and vaginal birth without pain relief. Materials and methodsThe study was conducted with 102 healthy pregnant women admitted to the obstetric delivery unit for noncomplicated term birth. Copeptin, oxytocin, TAS, TOS, IL-1, and IL-6 levels of cord blood and obstetric and neonatal results after vaginal birth were compared.Results The study included a total of 102 patients (group 1 = 30, group 2 = 30, and group 3 = 42). We found no significant difference between the three groups in terms of BMI, age, gravidity, parity, birth week, birth weight, interventional birth, perineal trauma, breastfeeding, duration of labor, oxytocin, IL-1 and IL-6 levels (p > 0.05). Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) need, TAS, TOS, and copeptin levels were higher. Apgar scores were lower in the epidural group (p = 0.011, p = 0.036, p = 0.027, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001 respectively).Conclusion Epidural analgesia has deteriorated oxidative stress status and lower neonatal Apgar scores with higher NICU administration compared with water birth and vaginal birth without pain relief. 相似文献

BackgroundThis meta-analysis was performed to examine the association between maternal hypertension during pregnancy (HDP) and neonatal bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and the KoreaMed database for relevant studies. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for quality assessment of all included studies. The meta-analysis was performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (version 3.3).ResultsWe included 35 studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria; the total number of infants evaluated came to 97,399 through review process. Maternal HDP was not significantly associated with any definition of BPD, i.e., oxygen dependency at 36 weeks of gestation (odds ratio [OR], 1.162; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.991–1.362; P = 0.064) in pooled analysis of 29 studies or oxygen dependency at 28 days of age (OR, 1.084; 95% CI, 0.660–1.780; P = 0.751) in pooled analysis of 8 studies. Maternal HDP was significantly associated only with severe BPD (OR, 2.341; 95% CI, 1.726–3.174; P < 0.001). BPD was not associated with HDP in the overall analysis (OR, 1.131; 95% CI, 0.977–1.309; P = 0.100) or subgroup analysis according to the definition of HDP.ConclusionMaternal HDP was not associated with neonatal BPD defined by the duration of oxygen dependency (at either 36 weeks of gestation or 28 days of life) but was associated with severe BPD. 相似文献

Monitoring fetal growth and assessing its predictors have important place in antenatal care management. Accurate prediction of gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW) is clinically important. Standard growth curve chosen should be evaluated to see if it satisfies the criteria for a valid assesment. In this paper, for the purpose of contributing to develop national standards and to evaluate Hadlock's standard data pertaining to 1411 fetuses were examined. Of 1411 normally growing fetuses, one measurement for AC, BPD and FL was taken by ultrasound. GA was assessed via menstrual history which is also confirmed by ultrasonography. Several variables, AC, BPD, FL, FL/AC, BPD/FL and dependent variables (GA & BW) were modelled mathematically. Percentile values, correlation coefficients were calculated and well functioning regression equations were produced for the fetal growth evaluation. Simple correlation model re-confirmed that AC, BPD and FL were well predictors of GA. Via modelling by multivariate regression analysis (adj. R2=937), GA=4.945 (95% CI: 4.661- 5.654) + .606 AC + .105 BPD + .286 FL can be estimated. It couldn't be possible establishing an appropriate equation for prediction of BW with current data. Our study is intended to draw an attention on requirement of national standards although Hadlock's standard growth curve may evaluate fetal development accurately. Forming comprehensive cohort group is under our consideration. The equation we developed (shown in the results), might be a working contribution. 相似文献

Summary Background: The presence of mental disorder during pregnancy could affect the offspring.Aims: To examine the effects of anxiety disorder and depression in pregnant women on neonatal outcomes, and to compare neonatal outcomes between offspring of attendees and non-attendees in a general population-based health survey.Method: Pregnant women (n = 680) were identified from the population-based health study of Nord-TrØndelag County (HUNT-2) by linkage with the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. The women rated themselves on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Rating Scale (HADS). Outcome variables were gestational length, birth weight, and Apgar scores.Results: HADS-defined anxiety disorder during pregnancy was associated with lower Apgar score at one minute (score < 8; odds ratio = 2.27; p = .03) and five minutes (score < 8; odds ratio = 4.49; p = .016). No confounders were identified. Anxiety disorder and depression during pregnancy was not associated with low birth weight or preterm delivery. Offspring of non-attendees had a lower birth weight (77 g; t = 3.27; p = 0.001) and a shorter gestational length (1.8 days; t = 2.76; p = 0.006) than that of offspring of attendees, a difference that may be explained by a higher load of psychosocial risk factors among the non-attendees.Conclusion: In our study that may be biased towards the healthier among pregnant women, anxiety disorder or depression during pregnancy were not strong risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes although low Apgar score in offspring of women with anxiety disorder may indicate poor neonatal adaptation. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to observe the effects of prophylactic palivizumab on hospitalization secondary to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection (RSVhospitalization) in former very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). This study also sought to identify the risk factors of RSVhospitalizationin this particular infant population. A prospective observational study was conducted between September 2007 and April 2008 in seven Korean hospitals. Children with a history of very low birth weight, a diagnosis of BPD and who were <2 yr old at the onset of the RSV season were included in this study. Palivizumab injections were administered monthly for a maximum of five months during the RSV season. RSVhospitalization rates were reviewed, and RSVhospitalization rates between subgroups were categorized by gestational age, birth weight, and duration of ventilator care. A total of 90 subjects completed the follow-up interviews. The mean gestational age at birth was 26.1±1.7 weeks, and the mean birth weight was 889.4±222.2 g. The incidence of RSVhospitalization in the study population was 8.9% (8/90), and the mean hospital stay was 11.0±5.5 days, including one death. There were no statistically significant differences in the patients'' demographic characteristics or risk factors for RSV hospitalization. When subgroup analyses were conducted, there were still no statistically significant differences. The administration of palivizumab prophylaxis during the entire RSV season is important in VLBWI with BPD, regardless of their gestational age and birth weight, or previous ventilator dependency.

PurposeNewborn screening includes testing for many metabolic diseases. False-positive results are higher among neonatal intensive care unit infants, resulting in increased confirmatory testing and family stress. Amino acid administration as a component of total parenteral nutrition is commonly used in the neonatal intensive care unit and suggested as a factor increasing false-positive results. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a new sample collection protocol on false-positive results.MethodsThis was a 2-year retrospective cohort study. Infants were grouped by birth year into pre- and postprotocol implementation and stratified by birth weight category. In 2010, newborn screening samples were collected from all infants regardless of total parenteral nutrition administration. In 2011, the protocol was changed, and total parenteral nutrition was replaced with 10% dextrose in water (D10W) for 3 h before sample collection.ResultsData from 539 neonatal intensive care unit admissions were reviewed. The new protocol reduced false-positive results for each birth weight group by at least 50% and overall by 74% (P = 0.008). The odds of having a false-positive result preintervention were 3.87 times higher than postintervention. The protocol reduced estimated costs by >80%.ConclusionA protocol interrupting total parenteral nutrition for 3 h before newborn screening collection resulted in a 74% reduction in false-positive results in a neonatal intensive care unit.Genet Med16 6, 477–483. 相似文献

Conflicting results on the influences of histologic chorioamnionitis (HC) on neonatal morbidities might be partly originated from using different definition of HC. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between HC and neonatal morbidities using definition of HC that reflects the site and extent of inflammation. This was a retrospective cohort study of 261 very low birth weight (VLBW) infants admitted at a tertiary academic center. Based on the site of inflammation, HC was categorized: any HC; amnionitis; funisitis; amnionitis+funisitis. The extent of inflammation in each site was reflected by sub-defining high grade (HG). The incidences of morbidities in infants with and without HC were compared. The bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) rate was significantly higher in infants with amnionitis and the severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) rate was significantly higher in infants with any HC and funisitis. After adjustment for both gestational age and birth weight, the respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) rate was significantly lower in infants with all categories of HC except for HG amnionitis and HG funisitis, which are not associated with lower RDS rate. HG amnionitis was significantly associated with increased BPD rate but the association of HC with severe ROP disappeared. In conclusion, HC is significantly associated with decreased RDS and HG amnionitis with increased BPD while lacking association with other neonatal morbidities in VLBW infants. The association with HC and neonatal morbidities differs by the site and extent of chorioamnionitis.

BackgroundSchool-aged children born very preterm have been suggested to have worse cognitive and behavioral outcomes than children born full-term. Executive function (EF) is a higher level of cognitive function related to academic achievement. The present study aimed to evaluate the cognitive (including EF) and behavioral outcomes of Korean children born extremely preterm (EP) and to analyze any biological or socioeconomic risk factors for poor cognitive outcomes in this population.MethodsA total of 71 infants weighing < 1,000 g at birth or born before 30 weeks of gestation (EP group) who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from 2008 to 2009 were included in this study and compared with 40 term-birth controls. The Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition, Advanced Test of Attention (ATA), Stroop test, Children''s Color Trails Test (CCTT), and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) were used. Additionally, the Korean Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL) and Korean ADHD Rating Scale (K-ARS) were completed. Perinatal and demographic data were collected and analyzed.ResultsThe mean full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) score in the EP group was significantly lower than that of the term control group (89.1 ± 18.3 vs. 107.1 ± 12.7; P < 0.001). In the EP group, 26 (37%) children had an FSIQ score below 85, compared to only one child (3%) in the control group. Furthermore, the EP group showed significantly worse EF test results (ATA, Stroop test, CCTT, WCST). Except for the higher social immaturity subscore in the EP group, the K-CBCL and K-ARS scores were not different between the two groups. EP children who received laser treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) had an 8.8-fold increased risk of a low FSIQ score, and a 1-point increase in the discharge weight Z-score decreased the risk of a low FSIQ score by approximately half in this EP cohort.ConclusionThis is the first Korean study to investigate the cognitive and behavioral outcomes of school-aged children born EP. In the study cohort, EP children exhibited significantly lower FSIQ scores and EF than their full-term peers, and 37% of them had cognitive problems. Nonetheless, except for social immaturity, the behavioral problems were not different in EP children. Severe ROP and low discharge weight Z-score were identified as independent risk factors for low FSIQ score after adjusting for birth weight. 相似文献

PurposeThe genes for cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) have been identified as important genetic determinants of warfarin dosing and have been studied. We developed warfarin algorithm for Korean patients with stroke and compared the accuracy of warfarin dose prediction algorithms based on the pharmacogenetics.ResultsA new developed algorithms including the variables of age, body weight, and CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotype. Our algorithm accounted for 51% of variation in the warfarin stable dose, and performed best in predicting dose within 20% of actual dose and intermediate-dose group.ConclusionOur warfarin dosing algorithm may be useful for Korean patients with stroke. Further studies to elucidate clinical utility of genotype-guided dosing and find the additional genetic association are necessary. 相似文献

The Pediatric Growth Chart (2007) is used as a standard reference to evaluate weight and height percentiles of Korean children and adolescents. Although several previous studies provided a useful reference range of newborn birth weight (BW) by gestational age (GA), the BW reference analyzed by sex and plurality is not currently available. Therefore, we aimed to establish a national reference range of neonatal BW percentiles considering GA, sex, and plurality of newborns in Korea. The raw data of all newborns (470,171 in 2010, 471,265 in 2011, and 484,550 in 2012) were analyzed. Using the Korean Statistical Information Service data (2010–2012), smoothed percentile curves (3rd–97th) by GA were created using the lambda-mu-sigma method after exclusion and the data were distinguished by all live births, singleton births, and multiple births. In the entire cohort, male newborns were heavier than female newborns and singletons were heavier than twins. As GA increased, the difference in BW between singleton and multiples increased. Compared to the previous data published 10 years ago in Korea, the BW of newborns 22–23 gestational weeks old was increased, whereas that of others was smaller. Other countries'' data were also compared and showed differences in BW of both singleton and multiple newborns. We expect this updated data to be utilized as a reference to improve clinical assessments of newborn growth. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between survival and incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in extremely premature infants, and identify clinical factors responsible for this association. Medical records of 350 infants at 23–26 weeks gestation from 2000 to 2005 (period I, n = 137) and 2006 to 2010 (period II, n = 213) were retrospectively reviewed. The infants were stratified into 23–24 and 25–26 weeks gestation, and the survival, BPD incidence, and clinical characteristics were analyzed. BPD was defined as oxygen dependency at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. The overall survival rate was significantly improved in period II compared to period I (80.3% vs. 70.0%, respectively; P = 0.028), especially in infants at 23–24 weeks gestation (73.9% vs. 47.4%, respectively; P = 0.001). The BPD incidence in survivors during period II (55.0%) was significantly decreased compared to period I (67.7%; P = 0.042), especially at 25–26 weeks gestation (41.7% vs. 62.3%, respectively; P = 0.008). Significantly improved survival at 23–24 weeks gestation was associated with a higher antenatal steroid use and an improved 5-minute Apgar score. A significant decrease in BPD incidence at 25–26 weeks gestation was associated with early extubation, prolonged use of less invasive continuous positive airway pressure, and reduced supplemental oxygen. Improved perinatal and neonatal care can simultaneously lead to improved survival and decreased BPD incidence in extremely premature infants. 相似文献

BackgroundChorioamnionitis (CA) is associated with premature delivery and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). We hypothesize that preterm infants exposed to CA have reduced suppressive regulatory T cells (Treg) and increased non-regulatory T cell pro-inflammatory cytokines, increasing risk for BPD.ObjectiveTo evaluate cord blood CD4+ T cell regulatory phenotype and pro-inflammatory cytokine production in CA and BPD groups.Study designCord blood mononuclear cells from infants (GA ⩽32 weeks), with or without placental histological evidence of CA (hChorio), were analyzed by flow cytometry. Clinical information was collected by retrospective chart review. Numbers of putative Treg (CD4+FoxP3+CD25+CD127Dim), CD4+ non-Tregs, and CD4+ T cell intracellular cytokine content following in vitro stimulation were compared with CA status and oxygen requirement at 36 weeks postmenstrual age.ResultAbsolute Treg numbers were not different in CA and non-CA exposed samples. However, the infants who developed BPD had a significant decrease in Treg and non-regulatory T cell numbers. Greater IL-6 production was observed in hCA group.ConclusionA pro-inflammatory CD4+ T cell status is noted in CA and BPD but the later disease is also associated with decrease in Tregs, suggesting that the development of BPD is marked by distinct inflammatory changes from those of CA exposed infants. 相似文献

BackgroundMacrosomia, as an infant with birth weight over 4 kg, can have several perinatal, and neonatal complications. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of macrosomia in Korea and to identify the growth and developmental outcomes and other neonatal complications.MethodsIn total, 397,203 infants who were born in 2013 with birth weight ≥ 2.5 kg and who underwent infant health check-up between their 1st and 7th visit were included from the National Health Insurance Service database. The information was obtained by the International Classification of Diseases-10 codes or self-reported questionnaires in the National Health Screening Program.ResultsThe distribution of infants by birth weight was as follows: 384,181 (97%) infants in the 2.5–3.99 kg (reference) group, 12,016 (3%) infants in the 4.0–4.49 kg group, 772 (0.2%) infants in the 4.5–4.99 kg group, and 78 (0.02%) infants in the ≥ 5 kg group. Macrosomia showed significantly higher incidence of sepsis, male sex, and mothers with GDM and birth injury. There was a significant difference in weight, height, and head circumference according to age, birth weight group, and combination of age and birth weight, respectively (P < 0.001). The number of infants with the weight above the 90th percentile in macrosomia at each health check-up showed higher incidence than in reference group. The mean body mass index significantly differed among the groups, as 50.6 in infants with 2.5–3.99 kg of birth weight, 63.5 with 4.0–4.49 kg, 71.0 with 4.5–4.99 kg, and 73.1 with ≥ 5 kg. There was a significant difference in the incidence of poor developmental results between infants with macrosomia and the reference group at 24, 36 and 48 month of age.ConclusionMacrosomia was significantly associated with the risk of sepsis, birth injury, obesity and developmental problem especially in a boy born from mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus. Careful monitoring and proper strategies for monitoring growth and development are needed. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The effects of maternal systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) on neonatal prognosis were examined by comparing clinical features of full-term babies born to lupus mothers and age- and parity-matched controls. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From January 2000 to December 2005, 39 singletons were born to 37 SLE women. Excluding 11 cases of prematurity and preeclampsia, 28 full-term neonates formed the lupus group. The control group included 66 full-term babies. The retrospective study examined medical records and compared gestational age, birth weight, days of hospital stay, small for gestational age (SGA) frequency, Apgar scores < 7, and parity. Lupus neonates were tested for anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) and platelet count, and electrocardiogram was performed. RESULTS: Average gestational age (38 vs. 39 weeks, p < 0.05) and birth weight (2,775 vs. 3,263g, p < 0.05) were significantly different between the SLE and control groups. SGA frequency was higher in the SLE group (25% vs. 4.5%, p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in Apgar score, birth weight, gestational age, SGA frequency, and platelet count between lupus subgroups formed based on anti-dsDNA antibody levels and antiphospholipid antibody status. CONCLUSION: The association of maternal ANAs, antiphospholipid antibodies, and drug history with neonatal prognosis could not be elucidated. However, even in uncomplicated pregnancies, maternal lupus is disadvantageous for gestational age, birth weight, and SGA frequency. 相似文献

BackgroundAs the survival rate of premature infants increases, the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic complication of premature infants, is also higher than before. The pathogenesis of BPD is complicated, and immune imbalance and inflammatory response may play important roles in it.ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood, especially γδ-T cells, and BPD of preterm infants.Materials and methodThe study was carried out with the peripheral blood of premature infants (GA < 32 weeks, BW < 1500 g), which were collected at 24 h or 3–4 weeks after birth. The infants were divided into non-BPD groups and BPD groups that were classified as mild or moderate and severe in preterm infants based on the magnitude of respiratory support at 28 days age and 36 weeks postmenstrual age. The γδ-T, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and total lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry.ResultsThe percentages of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood were not different between BPD and non-BPD within 24 h after birth. And no significant difference was found in T lymphocyte subsets among neonates with BPD of different severities. However, the infants who developed BPD had a significant increase in γδ-T cells compared to non-BPD ones within 3–4 weeks after birth.ConclusionsIt seems that γδ-T cells in peripheral blood are correlated with BPD. However, the causality of BPD and various lymphocytes remains unclear, which need to be further studied. 相似文献
