ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical therapeutic effect and follow-up prognosis of preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) managed by less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) and traditional intubation-surfactant-extubation (INSURE) of pulmonary surfactant (PS).Methods:Data during hospitalization and follow-up period of 187 NRDS preterm infants (gestational age 24 weeks to 31 + 6 weeks, and birth weight <1 500 g) admitted to the Department of Neonatology, the Women and Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from March 2019 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.NRDS preterm infants who were injected with PS by LISA were included in the LISA group (144 cases), and those who were injected with PS by INSURE were included in the INSURE group (43 cases). The propensity score matching method was used to correct the confounding factors between groups, and the covariate equilibrium samples between groups were obtained (39 cases in each group). Clinical treatment effect and prognosis of physical development, hearing and vision development, nervous system development, respiratory system diseases and other conditions of the two groups of children were compared using the t test, Chi- square test and other statistical analysis methods as appropriate. Results:(1)Compared with that of the INSURE group, the incidence of BPD [12 cases (33.3%) vs.23 cases (63.9%), χ2=6.727, P=0.009] and ROP [13 cases (36.1%) vs.26 cases (72.2%), χ2=9.455, P=0.002] in the LISA group were significantly lower.The incidence of mild BPD [8 cases (22.2%) vs.16 cases (44.4%), χ2=4.000, P=0.046] and stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ ROP [11 cases (30.6%) vs.22 cases (61.1%), χ2=6.769, P=0.009] in the LISA group was significantly lower than that of the INSURE group.There was no significant difference in the incidence of moderate and severe BPD and stageⅢ ROP and above between groups (all P>0.05). (2)There were no statistical differences in the repeated use of PS, mechanical ventilation rate within 72 h, pneumothorax/pulmonary hemorrhage, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ periventricula-rintraventricular hemorrhage, stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, abnormal amplitude integrated electroencephalogram, mortality in 36 weeks of corrected gestational age, total oxygen inhalation duration and hospitalization duration between the two groups (all P>0.05). (3)Follow-up within 1 year of corrected age after discharge.There were no significant differences in extrauterine body mass, body length and head circumference development, visual development, hearing development, Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment score at corrected gestational age of 40 weeks, Bayley Scales of Infants Development score at corrected gestational age of 6 months and age of 1 year, pneumonia and re-hospitalization due to respiratory diseases between groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:PS administration with LISA technology can reduce the incidence of mild BPD and stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ ROP in premature infants with NRDS who had the gestational age of 24-31 + 6 weeks and birth weight<1 500 g, without increasing the risk of other complications.The long-term prognosis of them treated with PS administration with LISA and INSURE is similar.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the outcomes of extremely preterm infants (EPIs) after the implementation and quality improvement of an intervention program from the prenatal period to delivery room and the factors influencing the mortality of EPIs.Methods:This was a retrospective study involving 185 EPIs admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2021. The intervention program from the prenatal period to delivery room was implemented in our hospital in January 2018, according to which, EPIs who were admitted before this time were grouped as the historical group ( n=45) and those who were admitted after as the program group ( n=140). The survival rate and morbidity of the two groups were analyzed and compared using t test, Mann Whitney U test, and Chi-square test. The factors influencing the mortality of EPIs were analyzed by univariate screening and logistic regression. Results:(1) The median gestational age of these EPIs was 26 +6 weeks, ranging from 23 +3 to 27 +6 weeks, and the median birth weight was 950 g, ranging from 390 g to 1 290 g. (2) After the intervention, the proportion of patients in whom the neonatologists were involved in prenatal consultation, women who received a full course of antenatal corticosteroid and magnesium sulfate, and cesarean delivery as well as the neonatal temperature on admission to NICU all increased significantly [77.1% (108/140) vs 8.9% (4/45); 67.9% (95/140) vs 35.6% (16/45); 67.1% (94/140) vs 48.9% (22/45); 44.3% (62/140) vs 17.8% (8/45); 36.6 ℃ (36.3-36.9 ℃) vs 35.2 ℃ (35.0-35.3 ℃), respectively, χ2 or Z values were 66.41, 14.81, 4.85, 10.17 and-9.34, respectively, all P<0.05]. Both delayed cord clamping (DCC) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) were included in the intervention program, with implementation rates from zero before to 67.9% (95/140) and 89.3%(125/140), respectively. Compared to the historical group, the proportion of infants with 1-minute Apgar score ≤3, endotracheal intubation in the delivery room or mechanical ventilation within 72 h after birth were decreased in the program group [7.1% (10/140) vs 17.8% (8/45), 37.1% (52/140) vs 73.3% (33/45), 38.6% (54/140) vs 57.8% (26/45), χ2 values were 4.39, 17.96 and 5.12, respectively. all P<0.05]. (3) After the intervention, the overall survival rate of EPIs and that among those with gestational age from 27 to 27 +6 weeks were significantly improved [72.9% (102/140) vs 53.3% (24/45), OR=2.349, P=0.015; 84.1% (53/63) vs 56.6% (13/23), OR=4.077, P=0.007]. Although the incidence of periventricular and intraventricular hemorrhage, late-onset sepsis, and retinopathy of prematurity showed a downward trend, the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05) (4) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that 1-minute Apgar score ≤3 ( OR=8.890, 95% CI:2.005-39.412), low 5-minute Apgar score ( OR=1.468, 95% CI:1.103-1.953), and higher rate of mechanical ventilation within 72 h ( OR=7.165, 95% CI:2.942-17.449) were independent risk factors for the mortality of EPIs; and using nCPAP in the delivery room ( OR=0.314, 95% CI:0.137-0.719) and birth weight ( OR=0.996, 95% CI:0.993-0.999) were protective factors. Conclusions:Early interventions for EPIs in the prenatal period or the delivery room, the quality improvement program, including intrapartum temperature management, DCC, and nCPAP, is likely to improve the survival rate and outcome of EPIs.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand quality improvement (QI) in resuscitation and its impacts on the outcomes in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI).Methods:This was a retrospective study involving 318 cases of VLBWI born in Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children and transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the same hospital from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019. All recruited VLBWIs were divided into three groups based on chronological order: pre-QI group (born in 2017, n=83), under-QI group (born in 2018, n=102) and post-QI group (born in 2019, n=133). The implementation and effects of different resuscitation strategies, including body temperature management, delayed cord clamping (DCC), respiratory support [continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the delivery room, positive pressure ventilation or tracheal intubation] and oxygen therapy [initial fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2), maximum FiO 2 and pure oxygen resuscitation], and the neonatal outcomes in each year were analyzed and compared by trend Chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, analysis of variance and LSD test. Results:(1) The proportion of antenatal steroid exposure increased gradually during the three years [44.6% (37/83), 47.1% (48/102), 72.2% (96/133); χ2trend=18.218, P<0.001]. (2) From 2017 to 2019, the incidence of hypothermia on admission decreased [100.0% (83/83), 90.2% (92/102), 33.8% (45/133); χ2trend=136.042, P<0.001], without increasing the proportion of hyperthermia [0.0% (0/83), 1.0% (1/102), 0.0% (0/133); χ2trend=2.124, P=0.346]. (3) The proportion of VLBWIs receiving DCC increased annually [0.0% (0/83), 29.4% (30/102), 90.2% (120/133); χ2trend=178.659, P<0.001], and the concentration of capillary hemoglobin within 12-24 h after birth also increased [(190.1±34.8), (202.0±29.7), (213.6±32.3) g/L; LSD test, P<0.05]. The incidence of suspected polycythemia (capillary hematocrit >68%) increased annually[7.2%(6/83), 7.8%(8/102), 17.3(23/133); χ2trend=5.825, P=0.016]; While the incidence of confirmed polycythemia (venous hematocrit >65%) was not increased[1.3%(1/80), 2.0%(2/100), 4.8%(6/126); χ2trend=2.333, P=0.127] after excluding those untested cases. (4) The use of CPAP in delivery room increased annually [0.0% (0/83), 28.4% (29/102), 87.2%(116/133); χ2trend=167.721, P<0.001], while that of positive pressure ventilation [44.6% (37/83), 31.9% (32/102), 28.6% (38/133); χ2trend=5.371, P=0.020], and the proportion of intubation within 1 min after birth [100.0% (31/31), 45.0% (9/20), 35.0%(7/20); χ2trend=37.467, P<0.001] and overall intubation [37.3% (31/83), 19.6% (20/102), 15.0% (20/133); χ2trend=13.566, P<0.001] decreased year by year. There was no difference in the percentage of infants receiving chest compression or epinephrine, or with low Apgar scores during the three years (all P>0.05). (5) The initial inhaled FiO 2 [30%(21%-100%), 30%(21%-100%) vs 40(25%-100%)] as well as the highest FiO 2 [40%(21%-100%), 30%(21%-100%) vs 40%(25%-100%)] were significantly lower in 2018 and 2019 than in 2017(all P<0.017). The proportion of infants receiving pure oxygen resuscitation decreased year by year [13.3% (11/83), 1.0% (1/102), 0.8% (1/133); χ2trend=17.719, P<0.001]. There was no statistical difference in radial artery blood gas analysis, the proportion of infants receiving pulmonary surfactant or mechanical ventilation, the highest value of percutaneous bilirubin, the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia, necrotizing enterocolitis, periventricular intraventricular hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or mortality during hospitalization (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Resuscitation QI program helps reduce the incidence of hypothermia, increased the hemoglobin level after birth, and lessen the use of positive pressure ventilation and tracheal intubation in VLBWIs, without influencing the resuscitation effect or increasing the risk of short-term adverse outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Placental transfusion is a key procedure for maintaining a steady transition from intrauterine to extrauterine environment in preterm neonates, which could be more likely to meet the requirements of postnatal hemodynamic changes for these babies and was mainly achieved by delayed cord clamping, umbilical cord milking and extrauterine placental transfusion. We summarize the influence factors, benefits and risks of these three measures of placental transfusion in preterm infants to promote the standardized application in clinical management.

ABSTRACT

The establishment of spontaneous breathing plays an essential role in the intrauterine to extrauterine transition. Sometimes respiratory support is needed during this transition, especially for preterm infants. Animal and clinical studies have indicated that based on the changes in the airway pressure caused by the first few deep breaths in full-term infants, sustained lung inflation (SLI) could improve respiratory function by facilitating the removal of the lung fluid and maintain functional residual capacity. However, the study results of SLI's effectiveness are inconsistent, and some even demonstrated that SLI could increase the case fatality rate in extremely premature infants. Thus, SLI in resuscitation for premature infants is controversial and is not recommended as a routine practice for preterm infants. The effects of SLI vary due to the differences in lung maturity and spontaneous breathing ability of preterm infants with different gestational ages. Further studies are needed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of SLI. This article reviews the application and the latest progress of SLI in premature infants.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of fortified human milk feeding on growth and complica-tions of infants with extremely and very low birth weight (ELBW/VLBW)during hospital stay by a pro-spective,random and controlled study.Methods:In the study,1 22 ELBW/VLBW infants were enrolled and divided into two groups.The infants fed with human breast milk,combined with human milk fortifi-cation (HMF)during hospital stay were named HMF group (n=62),and those fed exclusively with pre-mature formula were named premature formula feeding group (PF group,n=60 ).The data of the in-fants’growth (the velocity of increase on the weight,length,head circumference and upper arm circum-ference),the time of rebounding to birth weight,the time of needing intravenous nutrition,the time of hospitalizing,the proportion of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR)during hospital stay,the level of hemoglobin,bone metabolism and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results:Among the 1 22 infants included,(1 )the length increment in HMF group was higher than PF group [(0.89 ±0.23)cm/week vs.(0.79 ±0.34)cm/week,P=0.04];there were no significant differences in the weight gain,head circumference increment and upper arm circumference increment (P>0.05);(2)the age of rebounding to birth weight [(1 0.1 3 ±4.03)d vs.(8.03 ±3.28)d,P=0.002]and the duration of intravenous nutrition [(1 6.77 ±6.63)d vs.(1 4.23 ±4.1 5)d,P=0.01 ] in HMF group were longer than that in PF group,there were no significant differences between the two groups in the hospital stay and age achieved feeding;(3 )there were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence rate of EUGR during hospital stay (P>0.05);(4)the level of calcium at birth in HMF group was lower than that in PF group [(2.1 9 ±0.22)mmol/L vs.(2.32 ±0.27) mmol/L,P=0.005 ],and the level of alkaline phosphatase (AKP)in HMF group at discharge was higher than in PF group [(363.98 ±1 22.49)mmol/L vs.(299.73 ±1 1 7.39)mmol/L,P=0.004];(5)the incidence of the feeding intolerance (6.5% vs.1 8.3%,P=0.04)and sepsis (4.8% vs. 1 6.7%,P=0.03)in HMF group were less than in PF group,there were no significant differences be-tween the two groups on the morbidity of necrotizing enterocditis,retinopathy of prematurity (ROP),and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)(P>0.05).Conclusion:HMF for premature infants may ensure the same growth pattern as those fed by premature formula,promote the calcium absorption,decrease the inci-dence of sepsis and feeding intolerance,and does not increase the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the incidence and the gene mutation frequencies and patterns of α-thalassemia in preschool children in Chongqing city.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Cluster random sampling was used. A total of 1057 preschool children in three areas of Chongqing were screened by using routine blood test and hemoglobin electrophoresis analysis. Molecular analysis carried out for all the samples.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 1057 samples, 55 cases were diagnosed as being carriers of α-thalassemia, which included 80 allele genes. Therefore, the frequency of α-thalassemia carriers in Chongqing was 5.20%. Of the 55 α-thalassemia carriers, five different deletions of α-thalassemia were identified, the three most common deletion types and proportions were 54.55% for the -α(3.7) deletion, 18.18% for --(SEA) deletion, and 9.08% for the -α(4.2) deletion, respectively; eight types of nondeletion defects were determined, containing one case of Hb Quong Sze and seven novel mutations of a-globin gene. Furthermore, 24 cases of α-Triplication were detected with the α-Triplication carrier rate of 2.55%. In addition, in this study we also found two cases of abnormal hemoglobin disorders occurred on α-globin gene, Hb J-Wenchang-Wuming and Hb Arya. Hb Arya was characterized in the Chinese population for the first time confirmed by literature retrieval.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>In this study, we have clarified the carrier frequency and molecular spectrum of α-thalassemia in Chongqing, and we first reported the carrier incidence of α-Triplication in Chongqing. The materials obtained from this study would be of valuable reference for genetic counseling and the examination instruction of children in this area.</p>
