摘要
在子宫内暴露于阿片类药物和其他物质的儿童,特别是那些被诊断为新生儿禁食综合症(NAS)的儿童,其长期结果是不同因素之间复杂的相互作用。首先,将对新生儿禁食综合症及其临床表现进行定义,然后概述新生儿禁食综合症的发病率、最新趋势以及在合成类阿片和多种物质使用不断增加的背景下新生儿禁食综合症的重要性。此外,还将重点介绍已确定的 NAS 风险因素,尤其是孕期环境和社会心理压力因素的作用。最后,还将回顾现有的 NAS 文献,包括其差距和局限性,并就未来的研究和政策考虑提出建议,以改善对受 NAS 影响的儿童和家庭的护理。
Beyond a simple cause and effect relationship: Exploring the long-term outcomes of children prenatally exposed to opioids and other substances.
The long-term outcomes of children exposed to opioids and other substances in utero, specifically those diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), present a complex interaction of different factors. First, NAS and its clinical presentation will be defined, then summarized will be an overview of NAS prevalence, recent trends, and significance of NAS in the context of the rising synthetic opioid and polysubstance use. Highlighted will also be the identified risk factors for NAS, especially regarding the role of environmental and psychosocial stressors during pregnancy. Finally, reviewed will be the existing NAS literature, including its gaps and limitations, and suggested recommendations for future research and policy considerations for improving care for children and families impacted by NAS.
