ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Identificar factores asociados a la deserción del programa de seguimiento de recién nacidos prematuros menores de 1500 g al año y dos años de edad corregida. Material y método: Trabajo descriptivo, prospectivo y analítico. Se incluyeron todos los recién nacidos menores de 1500 g egresados de la unidad de terapia intensiva neonatal, nacidos entre el 01/01/2004 al 31/12/2006. Se excluyeron: niños con malformaciones congénitas mayores, infecciones intrauterinas confirmadas, derivados por patología quirúrgica, o domiciliados a más de 100 km de distancia. Se definió deserción al año de vida cuando no se cumplieron cuatro controles y a los dos años cuando no se cumplieron dos controles entre los doce y veinticuatro meses de vida. Resultados: De 207 prematuros, al año concurrieron 165 (79,5 por ciento) y desertaron 42 (20,5 por ciento), a los 2 años concurrieron 124 (75,2 por ciento) y desertaron 42 (25,4 por ciento). Los factores estadísticamente significativos al año de vida fueron: gemelaridad (p= 0,03) y familias monoparentales (p= 0,05). Conclusiones: Es necesario recrear estrategias para mejorar la adherencia de las familias de grupos vulnerables al programa de seguimiento por la implicancia que tiene ésta en el neurodesarrollo, la salud y educación a futuro.


Objectives: To identify factors related to patients withdrawing from a VLBW (=1500 g) preterm’s follow up program. Methods and subjects: very low birth weight (less or equal to 1500 g) preterm babies born between 01/01/2004 to 31/12/2006. Those with major congenital malformations, intrauterine infections or requiring surgical interventions or living more than 100 km from the hospital were excluded. Failure to show up 50 per cent of the citations or more during the first year of corrected age, and between 12 to 24 months of corrected age was considered a withdrawing patient. Factors studied were: gestational age, birth weight, days staying in NICU, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, preterm rethinopathy, intracranial hemorrhage (grade = 3), nationality, living zone, mother´s years of schooling, family type (double parent or single parent), number of children (= 4), job, health insurance, type of pregnancy (single vs. multiple) and non-satisfied basic needs. Results: 42 (20.5 per cent) of 207 preterm babies withdrew during the first year of corrected age, and 42 (25.4 per cent) between 12 to 24 months of corrected age of 165 babies attending during the first year. Factors statistically significant related to withdrawal were: twin birth (p<0.03) and single-parent family type p<0.05). Conclusions: Strategies to help families with preterm babies to attend to follow up programs are needed since these are paramount for the preterm’s health, neurodevelopment, and learning skills in the future.
