FACTORS RELATED TO THE PHYSICAL GROWTH OF VERY PRETERM INFANTS UP TO 6 MONTHS OF CORRECTED AGE AT THE NATIONAL HOSPITAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY
Main Article Content
Abstract
National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Subjects and Research Methods: The study was conducted on preterm infants with a gestational age of 28 to under 32 weeks at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology. A longitudinal follow-up method was used from birth to 6 months of corrected age, with a convenient sample size. Results: A total of 79 very preterm infants met the criteria, including 52 male infants (65.8%) and 27 female infants (34.2%), with an average gestational age of 29.9 ± 1.1 weeks. Factors such as gestational age, intrauterine growth retardation (OR = 13.4; 95% CI [2.4 - 74], p < 0.05), certain postnatal conditions (necrotizing enterocolitis, symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus, severe anemia), and maternal preeclampsia (OR = 8.8, 95% CI [1.9 - 39.7], p < 0.05) were identified as risk factors for physical growth retardation in very preterm infants up to 6 months of corrected age. Conclusion: The gestational age, intrauterine development, certain conditions the infant may experience after birth, and maternal preeclampsia are factors associated with delayed physical growth in extremely preterm infants up to 6 months of corrected age
