SOME RISK FACTORS FOR HEMORRHAGE IN NEWBORNS AT THE PEDIATRIC CENTER - THAI NGUYEN NATIONAL HOSPITAL
Overview
Abstract:
Objectives: To identify risk factors associated with neonatal hemorrhage at the Pediatric Center – Thai Nguyen National Hospital. Subjects and methods: The study included 139 neonates with hemorrhage (case group) and 278 neonates without hemorrhage (control group). A case-control study was conducted, with the case and control groups matched for gender and age. Results: The rate of neonatal hemorrhage in males is higher than in females, mainly |
occurring in the first day after birth. Univariate analysis showed that factors increasing the risk of neonatal hemorrhage include: prematurity (OR=2.9, 95%CI:1.9-4.6), low birth weight (OR=2.2, 95%CI:1.5-2.4), asphyxia (OR=2.0, 95%CI:1.9-4.7), neonatal infection (OR=2.3, 95%CI:1.3-4.0), maternal gestational diabetes (OR=2.9, 95%CI=1.1-7.4), maternal hypertension (OR=7.1, 95%CI: 1.9-26.3).Multivariate analysis showed that preterm gestational age, infant asphyxia, neonatal infection, and maternal hypertension were independent factors increasing the risk of neonatal hemorrhage (p<0.05). |
