Abstract
Extremely low birth weight infants are a public health problem in developing countries.
The objective: of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of extremely low birth weight newborns hospitalized at Saint Camille Hospital in Ouagadougou (HOSCO).
Method: This was a descriptive and analytical study with retrospective data collection on newborns with birth weight <1000g, in the neonatology department from January 2017 to December 2021.
Results: A total of 319 newborns were admitted giving a hospital frequency of 8.62%. Male sex was predominant with a sex ratio of 1.02. The mean age was 0.18 ± 0.71 days. The main signs on admission were hypothermia 88.40% and respiratory distress 92.16%. The evolution was marked by 92.79% of deaths of which 90.20% occurred during the early neonatal period. Hypothermia, birth outside HOSCO and maternal age less than 20 years were the factors associated with mortality.
Conclusion: The management of low birth weight remains difficult because of the very limited resources in our countries. Simple and inexpensive interventions can considerably improve the survival of these newborns.
