Abstract
Introduction: This study evaluated the effect of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) on neonatal outcomes in low-birth-weight infants.
Methods: We included premature infants born in our hospital and divided them into PPROM group and non-PPROM group. Maternal and neonatal data were collected, and follow-up assessments were performed at 3, 6, and 9 months of corrected age.
Results: The PPROM group had significantly lower birth weights, gestational ages, higher maternal infection rates, longer hospital stays, and higher complication rate (p < 0.001). PPROM, 5-minute Apgar score <7, and birth weight <1500 g was significant risk factors for complications (p < 0.001). Birth weight <1500 g, sepsis, premature encephalopathy, asphyxia and necrotizing enterocolitis (p < 0.01) were significant predictors of death. Infants with PPROM duration >7 days had the highest mortality rate and lower mental development index scores at 3 months (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: PPROM significantly impacts neonatal outcomes in low-birth-weight infants, leading to higher complication rates and longer hospital stays, which is associated with high risk of neonatal complication.
前言:本研究评估了低出生体重儿早产胎膜早破(PPROM)对新生儿结局的影响。方法:选取我院出生的早产儿,将其分为PPROM组和非PPROM组。收集产妇和新生儿数据,并在矫正月龄3、6和9个月时进行随访评估。结果:PPROM组新生儿出生体重、胎龄明显降低,孕产妇感染率较高,住院时间较长,并发症发生率较高(p p p 7天死亡率最高,3个月智力发育指数评分较低)。结论:PPROM对低出生体重儿新生儿结局有显著影响,并发症发生率较高,住院时间较长,新生儿并发症发生风险较高。
