ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To know the distribution of births of very low birth weight infants by day of the week, and whether this distribution affects the morbidity and mortality in this group of patients. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively in the Spanish SEN1500 network (2002-2011). Outborn infants, patients with major congenital anomalies, and those who died in the delivery room were excluded. Births were grouped into "weekdays" and "weekends." A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the independent effect of the birth moment on outcomes, and Cox regression for survival. Results: Out of a total of 27,205 very low birth weight infants born at and/or admitted to the participating centers, 22,961 (84.4%) met inclusion criteria. A reduction of 24% in the number of births was observed during the "weekends" compared with "weekdays". In the raw analysis, patients born on weekends exhibited higher morbidity and mortality (mortality rate: 14.2% vs. 16.5%, p < 0.001), but differences were no longer significant after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions: The present results suggest that current care practices reduce the proportion of births during the weekends and tend to cluster some high-risk births during this period, increasing crude morbidity and mortality. However, after adjusting for confounding factors, the differences disappear, suggesting that overall care coverage in these centers is appropriate.


Resumo Objetivo: Conhecer a distribuição dos partos de neonatos com muito baixo peso ao nascer durante a semana e se essa distribuição afeta a morbidez e a mortalidade nesse grupo de pacientes. Método: Esta é uma análise retrospectiva de dados coletados prospectivamente na rede espanhola SEN1500 (2002-2011). Foram excluídos neonatos nascidos em outro local, pacientes com grandes anomalias congênitas e pacientes falecidos na sala de parto. Os partos foram agrupados em "Dias úteis" e "Final de semana". Foi realizada uma análise de regressão logística multivariada para avaliar o efeito independente do parto sobre os resultados e uma regressão de Cox para avaliar a sobrevida. Resultados: Do total de 27.205 neonatos com muito baixo peso ao nascer nascidos e/ou internados nos centros participantes, 22.961 (84,4%) atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Houve uma redução de 24% no número de partos no "Final de semana" em comparação com os "Dias úteis". Na análise bruta, os pacientes nascidos em finais de semana apresentaram maior morbidez e mortalidade (Taxa de mortalidade: 14,2% em comparação a 16,5%, p < 0,001), porém as diferenças não eram mais significativas após o ajuste aos fatores de confusão. Conclusões: Nossos resultados sugerem que as práticas atuais de atendimento reduzem a proporção de partos em finais de semana e tendem a agrupar alguns partos de alto risco nesse período, aumentando a morbidez e mortalidade brutas. Contudo, após o ajuste aos fatores de risco, as diferenças desaparecem, sugerindo que a cobertura de atendimento geral em nossos centros é adequada.

ABSTRACT

Las duplicaciones intestinales quísticas son anomalías congénitas infrecuentes, con incidencia de 1:4500 autopsias y etiopatogenia incierta. Son estructuras quísticas, tubulares o diverticulares revestidas de mucosa gastrointestinal con pared de músculo liso, adheridas al tracto gastrointestinal, pero no suelen comunicar con la luz intestinal. Los quistes de duplicación gástrica representan el 7-9% de los quistes de duplicación intestinal. Pueden diagnosticarse intraútero mediante ecografía y la resonancia magnética fetal permite caracterizar el quiste y descartar patologías concomitantes. La ecografía posnatal revela una imagen quística de "doble pared". Los neonatos suelen permanecer asintomáticos, pero pueden presentar desde síntomas gastrointestinales inespecíficos hasta síntomas de obstrucción por efecto masa, torsión o infección. En pacientes asintomáticos, se aconseja el seguimiento clínico y estudios de imagen periódicos. El tratamiento es la resección quirúrgica electiva, de manera preferente, con técnicas mínimamente invasivas. Se presenta un caso con sospecha prenatal de quiste de duplicación enteral.


Intestinal cystic duplications are rare congenital anomalies, with an estimated incidence of approximately 1:4500 autopsies. The etiopathogenesis is uncertain. These duplications are cystic, tubular or diverticular structures lined with gastrointestinal mucosa. They share a common smooth muscle wall with the gastrointestinal tract but usually their lumens do not communicate with each other. Gastric duplication cysts represent 7-9% of the gastrointestinal tract duplication. They can be diagnosed prenatally by fetal ultrasound; magnetic resonance imaging characterizes the cyst and excludes other malformations. Postnatal ultrasound shows a characteristic double walled cyst. Newborns are usually asymptomatic, although nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms, intestinal obstruction due to mass effect, volvulus or infection are described. In asymptomatic patients, clinical follow-up and periodic image controls are recommended. Elective surgical resection is the treatment of choice, using minimally invasive technique whenever possible. A case of prenatally suspected intestinal cystic duplication is presented.
