The prevalence of early and very early prematurity has doubled, with these infants accounting for half of neonatal deaths. Optimal perinatal care and prevention strategies are crucial for improving survival and reducing long-term handicaps.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatalogy
  • Perinatal Medicine
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Rising prevalence of early prematurity (birth before 33 weeks) and very early prematurity (birth between 22-28 weeks) over 15 years.
  • Over 7000 infants (500-1500g) born annually, with survival rates increasing with gestational age.
  • Despite low birth incidence (<1%), these infants represent 50% of neonatal deaths and sequelae, highlighting significant maternal and neonatal risks.

Purpose:

  • To emphasize the critical need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing high-risk pregnancies with delivery before 27 weeks gestation.
  • To outline factors influencing survival and prognosis in premature infants, including antenatal and perinatal elements.
  • To advocate for organized perinatal networks and well-defined referral criteria to optimize care and reduce mortality and morbidity.

Summary:

  • Infant survival rates vary significantly by gestational age (50% at 25 weeks, 96% at 32 weeks).
  • Prognosis is influenced by antenatal factors (gestational age, fetal weight, malformations) and perinatal care (corticosteroids, pediatric intensive care unit referral, delivery management).
  • Neonatal assessment can guide treatment decisions, potentially discontinuing care in cases of extensive neurological damage.

Impact:

  • Implementing organized perinatal networks can save an estimated 650 infant lives annually and reduce severe handicaps by 390 for infants born before 33 weeks.
  • Highlights the importance of preventive measures such as reducing multiple pregnancies, identifying socio-demographic risks, treating asymptomatic bacteriuria, and early diagnosis of preterm birth.
