PREDICTORS OF THE FORMATION OF NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS IN PREMATURE INFANTS

Abstract

Premature newborns requiring observation and examination and treatment in the intensive care unit are at high risk for the development of perinatal brain lesions. Congenital pneumonia and early neonatal sepsis are one of the most common causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality in premature infants. According to various authors, the incidence of congenital pneumonia and early neonatal sepsis in children ranges from 4 to 20 per 1,000 live births.
