خلاصه انگلیسی

Background: Preterm birth is one of the leading and direct causes of newborn mortality. The aim of this was to study complications and follow-up outcomes of preterm infants hospitalized in Ardabil city hospital in 2016. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 73 preterm babies at Ardabil city hospital in 2016. The research-based checklist included demographics, and the outcome data were completed through the infant�s examination and by studying hospital files. Collected data were analyzed by statistical methods in statistical package for the social sciences v.19. Results: The rate of mortality was 21.2%, and the rate of developmental disorders (DD) was 26.2%. The main preterm infant�s problems were respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and ICTER, respectively. There was a significant inverse relation between gestational age (GA) and birth weight with the rate of mortality and developmental disorders. The relationship between sex and mortality rate was not significant. There was a significant relation between DD with RDS, age of infants, weight and round head of infants in 6 months. Conclusion: Results showed that preterm infants are at risk for DD and mortality in comparison with full-term infants. Hence, specialized care for them is essential in the future.
