The Impact of Prenatal Diagnosis and Treatment on Early Neonatal Problems

OBJECTIVE: Obstetric problems have detrimental effects on both pregnancy and newborn. We aimed to examine the relationship between pregnancy complications and newborn morbidities. STUDY DESIGN: The newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between September 2019 and August 2022 were i...

description OBJECTIVE: Obstetric problems have detrimental effects on both pregnancy and newborn. We aimed to examine the relationship between pregnancy complications and newborn morbidities. STUDY DESIGN: The newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between September 2019 and August 2022 were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. Antenatal morbidities and neonatal complications including low APGAR-score (<5), bronchopulmonary dysplasia, early neonatal sepsis, and early neonatal death were evaluated. Pearson-χ2 cross-tabs were used to compare two variables. A p-value <0.05 was determined statistically significant. RESULTS: Among the 686 infants analyzed, 94 (13.7%) had early neonatal death, 264 (38.5%) had bronchopulmonary dysplasia, 259 (37.8%) had early neonatal sepsis, and 424 (61.9%) had feeding intolerance. Early neonatal sepsis was observed significantly higher in newborns whose mothers had urinary tract infection in the last two weeks (p<0.001), preterm premature rupture of membranes (p=0.006), or clinical chorioamnionitis (p<0.001). Early neonatal death was found significantly higher in pregnancies with preeclampsia (p<0.001), preterm premature rupture of membranes (p<0.001), clinical chorioamnionitis (p<0.001), or small-for-gestational-age (p<0.001). Preeclampsia and magnesium neuroprophylaxis were found significantly higher in neonates with feeding intolerance (p<0.001). Backward: LR logistic regression analysis based on early neonatal sepsis risk revealed that birth week, preterm premature rupture of membranes, clinical chorioamnionitis, small-for-gestational-age, and urinary tract infection were significant parameters affecting the risk of early neonatal sepsis (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Preventing premature births and cautious management of pregnancy complications may be helpful in reducing adverse neonatal outcomes. Early detection of high-risk pregnancies and transfer to a tertiary center may be helpful to improve neonatal outcomes.
