ABSTRACT
Facing the progressive increase in the survival of premature ta infants, a concern for health professionals would be related to the possible consequences arising from prematurity, among them the growth changes OBJECTIVES: to describe the anthropometric variables of newborns Premature Very Low Birth Weight in the follow-up monitoring METHODS: observational, longitudinal and retrospective study, involving 71 children who left Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), with a weight lower than 1500 g who were treated between 2006 and 2013. They should have at least three outpatient visits within twelve months of corrected age after NCAU discharge, in the following periods: period I up to 3 months of corrected age; period II between 4-6 months of corrected age and period III between 7-12 months of corrected age RESULTS: the mean Gestational Age (GA) was 29.4 weeks, 51% male, birth weight 1073.2 g, 70% with appropriate GA. The hospitalization stay was 68.73 days. Weight Z score at birth -0.95; at discharge -3.05; in period I -2.4; period II -1.8; period III -1.2. Height at birth -1.21, at discharge -2.23; -2.5; -1.8 and -1.1 for the periods I, II and III , respectively. Regarding the PT Z score at birth -0.71; at discharge -1.5; and monitoring -1.1; -0.8 and -0.5 respectively in the periods I, II and III CONCLUSIONS: despite of the great Z score reduction in NICU, there was a progressive improvement during follow-up in the Z score in the three anthropometric variables...
Frente ao progressivo aumento da sobrevida de recém-nascidos prematuros, uma preocupação para os profissionais de saúde deve ser em relação às possíveis sequelas advindas da prematuridade, dentre elas as alterações de crescimento OBJETIVOS: descrever variáveis antropométricas de recém-nascidos Prematuros de Muito Baixo Peso em acompanhamento de follow-up MÉTODO: estudo observacional, longitudinal e retrospectivo, em que participaram 71 crianças egressas da Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal, com peso menor de 1.500 g, atendidas entre 2006 e 2013 e, que realizaram pelo menos três consultas ambulatoriais até doze meses de Idade Corrigida (IC), nos seguintes períodos: período I (até 3 meses de IC); período II (entre 4 a 6 meses de IC) e período III (entre 7 a 12 meses de IC RESULTADOS: a Idade Gestacional média foi de 29,4 semanas, sendo 51% do sexo masculino, com peso médio de nascimento de 1073,2 g, sendo 70% adequados à IG. O tempo de internação médio foi de 68,73 dias. A média do escore Z do peso ao nascimento de -0,95; no momento da alta hospitalar, de -3,05; no período I -2,4; período II -1,8; período III -1,2. : -1,21 ao nascimento, -2,23 na alta, -2,5; -1,8 e -1,1 nos períodos I, II e III, respectivamente. Em relação ao PC: escore Z ao nascimento -0,71; alta -1,5; e seguimento -1,1; -0,8 e -0,5 respectivamente nos períodos I, II e III CONCLUSÕES: na descrição das variáveis antropométricas dos recém-nascidos prematuros durante a hospitalização até o terceiro período de seguimento observou-se retardo de crescimento extrauterino na internação e melhora progressiva nos índices de escore Z das três variáveis antropométricas durante o seguimento ambulatorial...

In recent years,with the establishment of neonatal intensive care unit and the development of nutritional support,the survival rate of very low birth weight infants has increased significantly.As more and more premature infants and low birth weight infants have been rescued alive,more attention has been paid to the follow-up growth of preterm children as well as the related impact factors in prenatal medicine.The most effective way to evaluate the effects of the nutritional support and medical decision has made on the premature infants,the postnatal Physical development of preterm infants after birth,including height,weight,head circumference and IBM,should be recorded and studied.This article reviews the current studies of follow-up of preterm infants at various growths stages,as well as the catch-up growth and long-term development.
