Birth weight is a critical factor for preterm infant survival. Infants weighing less than 1500 grams face significantly higher mortality risks, highlighting the need for accurate weight assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatalogy
  • Perinatology
  • Pediatric Research

Background:

  • Preterm birth presents significant challenges to neonatal survival.
  • Identifying key neonatal factors influencing survival is crucial for improving outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify neonatal factors associated with survival in preterm infants.
  • To analyze the relationship between birth weight, umbilical pH, glucose levels, Apgar score, and gestational age with survival rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 457 preterm newborns (birth weight <1000g to >2000g).
  • Data collected included umbilical pH, plasmatic glucose, 5-minute Apgar score, and gestational age.
  • Neonatal mortality rates were compared across different birth weight groups.

Main Results:

  • Positive correlations observed between birth weight and 5-minute Apgar score, and between birth weight, pH, and glucose values.
  • No significant relationship found between pH values and 5-minute Apgar score.
  • Neonatal mortality rate was 85.18% in Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) infants versus 5.26% in Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants.

Conclusions:

  • Birth weight is a critical determinant of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with 1500g serving as a significant cut-off.
  • Accurate estimation of fetal weight, potentially via ultrasound, is vital for risk assessment.
  • Improved clinical evaluation of preterm labor risks and timing is essential for better neonatal outcomes.
