Abstract

Objective: To evaluate treatment outcomes of preterm neonates at the Neonatology Department, Tam Anh General Hospital, Hanoi, from January 2024 to July 2025. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 214 preterm infants (<37 weeks) admitted during the study period. Data were collected from medical records and analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Results: Late preterm infants accounted for the majority (72.0%), followed by moderate preterm (13.6%), very preterm (12.1%), and extremely preterm (2.3%). More than half had a birth weight of 1500–<2500g (54.2%). Cesarean section rate was high (88.4%), while antenatal corticosteroid use remained limited. Median hospital stay was 6 days. Complications were uncommon (retinopathy of prematurity 2.3%, ductus arteriosus treatment 4.2%); no deaths were reported, and 6.5% required referral. Conclusion: Most preterm infants in this cohort were moderate or late preterms with favorable outcomes. Enhanced antenatal corticosteroid administration and post-discharge follow-up are recommended to further improve care quality.
