ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare thoracic musculoskeletal static alterations in adolescents born prematurely with those born at term and investigate neonatal and post-neonatal variables associated with thoracic alterations. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study with 57 adolescents aged 10-15 years born prematurely and 57 adolescents born at term paired by gender and age. Photographs of the head and thorax in the front, back, and right side views were studied using a computer program. The two groups were compared in regards to: elevation of clavicles, elevation of shoulders, protrusion of the head, and anteroposterior and mediolateral thoracic length. Factor associated with thoracic disorders were evaluated by linear regression analysis. RESULTS: The Preterm group had mean gestational age of 32.0±2.8 weeks and the birth weight was 1462±338 and 3342±430 g for the Preterm and Term adolescents, respectively. Preterm adolescents had higher elevation of the left shoulder (22.7±5.4o vs. 20.6±5.3o;sim, p=0.038) and the right shoulder (22.2±4.4o vs. 18.5±5.7o; p<0.001). Smaller protrusion of the head (27.8±6.1o vs. 32.4±7.9o; p=0.008), mediolateral thoracic length (22.9±2.3 cm vs. 25.1±3.1 cm; p<0.001) and anteroposterior thoracic length (19.7±2.2 cm vs. 21.1±3.4 cm; p<0.001) were found in preterm adolescents. By multiple regression analysis, factors associated with higher shoulder elevation were birth weight <1500 g (p<0.001) and mechanical ventilation during neonatal period >5 days (p=0.009). CONCLUSION: Adolescents born prematurely presented greater thoracic musculoskeletal static alterations compared to those born at term. Factors associated with these alterations were: very low birth weight and longer duration of mechanical ventilation in the neonatal unit. .

ABSTRACT

As imunodeficiências primárias (IDP) são uma área recente e aindapouco conhecida da medicina. Pacientes com IDP apresentam, na maior parte dos casos, infecções graves e recorrentes de início precoce, elevada morbidade e mortalidade, resultando frequentemente em sequelas,elevado custo social e sofrimento dos familiares. Embora na Américado Norte e Europa se estime que sua incidência seja semelhante à dafenilcetonúria e do hipotireoidismo congênito (afecções congênitas quecontam com triagem neonatal), ainda faltam dados quanto à sua real incidência na população brasileira.O projeto em desenvolvimento no Instituto de Ciências Biomédicasda USP e Escola Paulista de Medicina da UNIFESP, visa contribuir para o avanço na implementação de testes de triagem neonatal para asimunodeficiências primárias, mais especificamente, ImunodeficiênciasCombinadas Graves, que constituem um grupo de doenças com diferentesdefeitos genéticos, que evoluem para o óbito precoce se não foremdiagnosticadas e tratadas a tempo e a Síndrome de DiGeorge, que seestima ser a síndrome genética de deleção mais prevalente (1:3.000nascidos vivos).Seguindo esta linha de pensamento, nossa hipótese é que no Brasilexiste um número desconhecido de pacientes com IDP não diagnosticadosou subdiagnosticados que após a implementação de técnicas de detecção molecular por triagem neonatal para a SCID e síndrome de DiGeorge, passarão a ser contabilizados e tratados corretamente, diminuindo portanto,a morbidade e mortalidade.


Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDD) are a recently-recognizedand relatively unstudied area of medicine. Patients with PIDD frequentlypresent with the early onset of severe recurrent infections, high morbidityand mortality, frequently resulting in sequelae, high social cost, andfamily burden. While in North America and Europe it is estimated thatits incidence is similar to phenylketonuria and congenital hypothyroidism(congenital disorders that rely on neonatal screening), there is a lack ofdata on its actual incidence in Brazil.The project being developed at Institute of Biomedical Sciences,University of São Paulo and Federal University of São Paulo MedicalSchool, aims to contribute to the implementation of neonatal screeningtests for primary immunodeficiencies. More specifically, severe combinedimmunodeficiencies, a group of diseases with several genetic defects,may progress to early death if not diagnosed and treated early in life;and DiGeorge Syndrome, which is estimated to be the most prevalentgenetic deletion syndrome (1:3,000).Our hypothesis is that, in Brazil there is an unknown number ofpatients with undiagnosed or underdiagnosed disease, which, after theimplementation of detection techniques through newborn screening forSCID and DiGeorge Syndrome, will be accounted for and treated properly,reducing therefore, the morbidity and mortality.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Verificar se pais e profissionais de saúde que trabalham em unidades de terapia intensiva neonatal avaliam de maneira semelhante a presença e a magnitude da dor no recém-nascido (RN). MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com 52 RN e 154 adultos. Os critérios de inclusão foram: internação em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal, presença de sonda gástrica, cânula traqueal e acesso venoso. Cada RN foi observado de modo simultâneo por um trio diferente de adultos (pai/mãe, pediatra e auxiliar de enfermagem) durante 1 minuto para avaliar presença e intensidade da dor do paciente. A análise quanto à homogeneidade da avaliação de dor foi realizada por meio do gráfico de Bland-Altman modificado e do coeficiente de correlação intraclasses (CCI). A associação de fatores próprios do recém-nascido com a heterogeneidade da avaliação da dor do RN pelos adultos foi avaliada por meio de regressão linear múltipla. RESULTADOS: O CCI mostrou discordância entre os três grupos de adultos quanto à avaliação da dor (CCI 0,066, concordância > 0,75). A análise de Bland-Altman mostrou que houve concordância entre os adultos quanto à ausência de dor no RN. Porém, quando os adultos achavam que a dor estava presente, houve heterogeneidade na avaliação da intensidade de dor neonatal. A análise de regressão múltipla indicou que apenas 10 por cento desta heterogeneidade foi explicada pelo sexo e via de parto do RN. CONCLUSÕES: A heterogeneidade na avaliação feita por adultos da intensidade da dor de RN é um marcador da dificuldade de se decidir a respeito da necessidade de analgesia em pacientes pré-verbais.


OBJECTIVE: To verify whether parents and health professionals homogeneously evaluate presence and intensity of neonatal pain. METHODS: This cross-sectional study enrolled 52 neonates and 154 adults. Inclusion criteria for neonates were admission to neonatal intensive care unit, presence of gastric tube, tracheal tube, and venous lines. Each newborn was observed by a different group of three adults (parent, nurse assistant and pediatrician) for 1 minute at the same time to evaluate presence and intensity of infant's pain. Homogeneity of pain evaluation was analyzed by a modified Bland-Altman plot and by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate association of neonatal characteristics and heterogeneity of pain scores for adults. RESULTS: ICC showed disagreement of the pain scores given by the three groups of adults (ICC 0.066, agreement > 0.75). Bland-Altman analysis showed agreement among adults when they thought pain was absent. When they thought pain was present, there was heterogeneity of opinions regarding intensity of neonatal pain. Multiple regression analysis indicated that 10 percent of this disagreement could be explained by infant's gender and mode of delivery. CONCLUSIONS: Disagreement among adults about intensity of neonatal pain is a marker of the difficulty in deciding the need for analgesia in preverbal patients.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Avaliar a sensibilidade e a especifidade de duas escalas comportamentais de dor em recém-nascidos (RN) de diferentes idades gestacionais (IG). Método: 133 recém-nascidos estáveis, com menos de 72h de vida, sem alteraçöes do SNC ou uso de analgesia/sedaçäo e com Apgar aos 5'>7 foram sorteados para receber punçäo capilar - P, ou nfricçäo de pele - F.Os recém-nascidos foram divididos de acordo com a IG (28-33 sem.=A; 34-37 sem.=B; 38-41 sem.=C) e com o procedimento (P/F): grupo A-P (n=17, 1,5+-0,4kg); A-F (n=18, 1,5+-0,4kg); B-P (n=25, 2,5+-0,5kg); B-F (n=25,2,4+-0,6kg); C-P (n=23, 3,3kg+-0,5kg); C-F (n=25; 3,3+-0,4kg). Um neonatologista, cego em relaçäo a P ouF, avaliou duas escalas de dor: NFCS (o-8 pontos, dor > 3) e NIPS (0-7 pontos, dor > 3). Todas as avaliaçöes foram realizadas antes de P/F (Pr), no aquecimento do pé (a), durante (0), 1' e 3' após P ou F...
