ABSTRACT

La tasa de prematuridad global, según laOrganización Mundial de la Salud (OMS),muestra un aumento progresivo; su principal componente es el grupo de prematuros tardíos. Este grupo de pacientes suele tener buen peso al nacer, lo que hace que no se perciba muchas veces el riesgo de presentar un espectro de morbilidades del desarrollo, conductuales einmadurez de diferentes órganos y sistemasque impactan en la evolución a corto y largo plazo y aumentan la morbimortalidad. A su vez, tienen un efecto sustancial en los servicios de atención médica. El objetivo de esta publicación es discutir algunosaspectos relacionados con la salud de este grupo de pacientes y sugerir su seguimiento con un enfoque holístico e interdisciplinario.


The WHO states that prematurity rates have increased mainly due to late preterm births. Since these babies are usually born with appropriate weight for their gestational age, their risk for morbidities such as neurodevelopmental delays, behavioral problems and organ systems immaturity are overlooked. Further, these clinical findings have an impact on short and long term outcomes (i.e., morbidities, mortality, and higher healthcare costs). The aim of this publication is to discuss topics related to late-preterm newborns' health, including a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to follow up care.

ABSTRACT

La taquicardia supraventricular (TSV) es la principal taquiarritmia en el recién nacido (RN) que requiere una resolución urgente. Por su parte, la enterocolitis necrosante (ECN) es la emergencia gastrointestinal más común que afecta principalmente a RN prematuros. Aunque estas se reconocen como patologías distintas, la bibliografía sugiere que los episodios de TSV pueden predisponer a los pacientes a la ECN a través de alteraciones en el flujo sanguíneo mesentérico y una disminución de la perfusión tisular. Se presenta aquí el caso clínico de un neonato prematuro que desarrolló un cuadro de ECN luego de un evento aislado de TSV con bajo gasto cardíaco


Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the main tachyarrhythmia in the newborn (NB) that requires urgent resolution. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency that mainly affects premature infants. Although these conditions are recognized as distinct pathologies, literature reports suggest that episodes of SVT may predispose patients to NEC secondary to disturbances in mesenteric blood flow and a decrease in tissue perfusion. We present here the clinical case of a premature neonate who developed NEC after an isolated SVT event with low cardiac output

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La apendicitis aguda neonatal es una patología de muy baja frecuencia, con escasos reportes en los últimos 30 años. La clínica e imágenes son inespecíficas, diagnosticándose la mayoría de las veces durante el procedimiento quirúrgico. OBJETIVO: Presentar un caso de apendicitis aguda perfora da en paciente prematura, con diagnóstico prequirúrgico y resolución laparoscópica, asociada a aparición posterior de hernia inguinal. CASO CLÍNICO: Recién nacido femenino de 34 semanas que a los 17 días de vida presentó fiebre, irritabilidad y aumento del residuo lácteo. Al examen físico destacaba distensión y sensibilidad del abdomen y tanto la radiografía como ecografía abdominales eran compatibles con apendicitis aguda perforada, por lo cual ingresó a pabellón para laparoscopía. Confirmado el diagnóstico, se realizó apendicectomía. Dos semanas después en consulta ambulatoria, se evidenció y confirmó con ecografía una hernia inguinal bilateral que se corrigió quirúrgicamente. CONCLUSIÓN: La apendicitis aguda debe considerarse dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales en neonatos con clínica de abdomen agudo, principalmente en prematuros. En este caso, la ecografía permitió realizar el diagnóstico pre-operatorio. La posible asociación con hernia inguinal, debiera motivar a examinar siempre conductos inguinales durante la evaluación con imá genes y en el procedimiento quirúrgico.


INTRODUCTION: Acute neonatal appendicitis is a rare pathology, with few reports in the last 30 years. Since its clinical presentation and imaging studies are non-specific, most cases are diagnosed during a surgical pro cedure. OBJECTIVE: To describe a neonatal case of acute perforated appendicitis associated with later appearance of inguinal hernia, with pre-surgical diagnosis and treated through laparoscopy. CLINICAL CASE: A 17-day-old preterm female newborn presented with fever, irritability, and increased milk intolerance. Physical examination showed abdominal distention, tenderness and both, abdominal X- ray and ultrasound showed compatible images with acute perforated appendicitis. Once the diagnosis was confirmed, we performed an appendicectomy through laparoscopy. Two weeks later, during an outpatient visit, we observed a bilateral inguinal hernia which was confirmed by ultrasound, and then it was surgically corrected. CONCLUSION: Acute appendicitis should be considered within the differential diagnosis in neonates with acute abdominal symptoms, mainly in premature infants. In this case, ultrasound scan allowed us to make the pre-operative diagnosis. The possible association with inguinal hernias should motivate to examine inguinal ducts during imaging assessment and surgical procedure.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: El recién nacido prematuro se enfrenta a las condiciones extrauterinas con sistemas aún inmaduros, tanto anatómica como fisiológicamente. El riñón termina de desarrollarse a finales del tercer trimes tre del embarazo, por lo que está especialmente expuesto a alterar su desarrollo normal en caso de nacer en forma prematura. Esta situación puede condicionar, entre otras consecuencias, una menor masa renal funcional y cambios microvasculares que representan un riesgo elevado de hipertensión arterial y daño renal crónico en el largo plazo. En el presente artículo se analiza la evidencia existente actual sobre estos riesgos en los prematuros y se ofrece un esquema de seguimiento de estos niños desde el punto de vista nefrológico.


Abstract: The premature newborn faces extrauterine conditions with some systems still immature, both ana tomically and physiologically. The kidney finishes developing at the end of the third trimester of pregnancy, so it is especially exposed to alter its normal development if preterm birth occurs. This si tuation may condition, among other consequences, a lower functional renal mass and microvascular changes comprising a high risk of chronic kidney disease in the long term and arterial hypertension. This article analyzes the current evidence on these risks in premature infants and offers a nephrology follow-up scheme of these children.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: Los potenciales evocados auditivos (PEA) son la prueba neurofisiológica más utilizada para evaluar el desarrollo funcional del tronco encefálico auditivo en lactantes; además, permiten evaluar la audición para las frecuencias altas. Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal y retrospectivo. Se evaluaron los resultados de PEA de 186 lactantes (372 oídos) con antecedente de prematuridad. Se compararon la respuesta bioeléctrica, la morfología, la amplitud, las latencias I, III y V, los intervalos I-III, III-V y I-V y los umbrales auditivos en dos grupos de prematuros < 32 y ≥ 32 semanas de edad gestacional (SEG). Resultados: La respuesta bioeléctrica, las latencias I, III y V y los intervalos I-III y III-V fueron similares en los dos grupos de prematuros de acuerdo con su edad corregida; al compararse, no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p > 0.05) para estas variables. La amplitud, la morfología y el intervalo I-V estuvieron más afectados en el grupo de prematuros < 32 SEG (p < 0.05). De los 372 oídos evaluados, se encontraron 275 con audición normal y 97 con algún grado de hipoacusia para las frecuencias altas, más frecuente en los pacientes < 32 SEG (p < 0.05). Conclusiones: El desarrollo funcional del tronco cerebral auditivo fue similar entre los grupos de prematuros y dentro del rango normal para la edad corregida respectiva. La prematuridad produjo un incremento directamente proporcional y estadísticamente significativo en la frecuencia de hipoacusia para las frecuencias altas.


Abstract Background: Auditory evoked potentials (AEPS) constitutes the most commonly used neurophysiological test to assess the functional development of the auditory brainstem in infants and allows the evaluation of hearing for high frequencies. Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study was conducted. The AEPS results for 186 infants (372 ears) with a history of prematurity were examined. The bioelectrical response, morphology, amplitude, latencies I, III and V, and intervals I-III, III-V and I-V were compared, as well as auditory thresholds between two groups of premature infants < 32 and ≥ 32 weeks of gestational age (WGA). Results: The bioelectrical response, latencies I, III and V, and intervals I-III and III-V were similar between the two groups of premature infants according to their corrected age; no statistically significant differences were found (p > 0.05) for these variables. The amplitude, morphology, and the I-V interval were more affected in the group of premature infants < 32 WGA (p < 0.05). Of the 372 ears evaluated, 275 showed normal hearing and 97 showed some degree of hearing loss for high frequencies, which was more frequent in patients < 32 WGA (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The functional development of the auditory brainstem was similar between the groups of premature infants and within the normal range for the respective corrected age. Prematurity produced a directly proportional and statistically significant increase in the frequency of hearing loss for high frequencies.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: The stable microbubble test on gastric aspirate and on amniotic fluid has been used for the diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome in the newborn. However, no study has performed this test on oral aspirates from premature infants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the stable microbubble test on oral aspirates from preterm newborns to predict respiratory distress syndrome. Method: This study included infants with gestational age <34 weeks. Oral fluids were obtained immediately after birth and gastric fluids were collected within the first 30 minutes of life. The samples were frozen and tested within 72 hours. Results: The sample was composed of paired aspirates from 64 newborns, who were divided into two groups: respiratory distress syndrome group (n = 21) and control group (n = 43). The median (interquartile range) of the stable microbubble count in the oral samples of infants with respiratory distress syndrome was significantly lower than that of infants who did not develop respiratory symptoms: respiratory distress syndrome group = 12 (8 -22) stable microbubbles/mm2; control group = 100 (48 -230) microbubbles/mm2 (p < 0.001). The correlation between microbubble count in gastric and oral aspirates was 0.90 (95% confidence interval = 0.85 -0.95; p < 0.001). Considering a cut-off point of 25 microbubbles/mm2, the sensitivity and the specificity of the stable microbubble test were 81.4% and 85.7%, respectively. Conclusion: The study suggests that the stable microbubble test performed on oral aspirate is a reliable alternative to that performed on gastric fluid for the prediction of respiratory distress syndrome in the newborn.


Resumo Objetivo: O teste das microbolhas estáveis no aspirado gástrico e no líquido amniótico foi usado no diagnóstico da síndrome do desconforto respiratório do recém-nascido. Contudo, nenhum estudo fez esse teste nos aspirados bucais de neonatos prematuros. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempenho do teste das microbolhas estáveis em aspirados bucais de recém-nascidos prematuros para prever síndrome do desconforto respiratório. Método: Este estudo incluiu neonatos com idade gestacional < 34 semanas. Os fluidos orais foram obtidos imediatamente após o nascimento e os fluidos gástricos foram coletados nos primeiros 30 minutos de vida. As amostras foram congeladas e testadas em 72 horas. Resultados: A amostra foi composta de aspirados pareados de 64 recém-nascidos, divididos em dois grupos: grupo de síndrome do desconforto respiratório (n = 21) e grupo de controle (n = 43). A mediana (intervalo interquartil) da contagem das microbolhas estáveis nas amostras de fluido oral dos neonatos com síndrome do desconforto respiratório foi significativamente menor que a dos neonatos que não desenvolveram sintomas respiratórios: grupo de síndrome do desconforto respiratório = 12 (8-22) microbolhas estáveis/mm2; grupo de controle = 100 (48-230) microbolhas/mm2 (p < 0,001). A correlação entre a contagem das microbolhas nos aspirados gástricos e bucais foi 0,90 (intervalo de confiança de 95% = 0,85-0,95; p < 0,001). Considerando um ponto de corte de 25 microbolhas/mm2, a sensibilidade e a especificidade do teste das microbolhas estáveis foram 81,4% e 85,7%, respectivamente. Conclusão: O estudo sugere que o teste das microbolhas estáveis feito no aspirado bucal é uma opção confiável ao fluido gástrico para a predição da síndrome do desconforto respiratório do recém-nascido.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El seguimiento de niños nacidos prematuros extremos de edad escolar revela menor desarrollo de funciones neuropsicológicas, en comparación con sus pares nacidos de término. OBJETIVO: Comparar las funciones neuropsicológicas de escolares con antecedente de prematuridad y niños de término alrededor de los 8 años de edad. PACIENTES Y MÉTODO: Investigación no experimental, cuantitativa, de diseño correlacional. Se incluyeron 43 niños nacidos con menos de 1500 grs. de peso y/o menos 32 semanas de gestación, y un grupo control constituído por 40 niños de término, compañeros de curso del grupo muestra. Ambos grupos sin diagnóstico de discapacidad neurológica, sensorial ni cognitiva. Los padres firmaron documento de consentimiento informado y se recopila ron datos por medio de la Evaluación Neuropsicológica Infantil-ENI 2, que evalúa las características neuropsicológicas de niños y jóvenes entre 5 y 16 años a través de 14 procesos neuropsicológicos: habilidades construccionales, memoria, habilidades perceptuales, lenguaje, habilidades metalingüísticas, lectura, escritura, aritmética, habilidades espaciales, atención, habilidades conceptuales, fluidez, flexibilidad cognoscitiva y planeación. Datos obtenidos se analizaron con prueba Kruskal Wallis, estableciéndose nivel de significación en p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Los hallazgos de la investigación coinciden parcialmente con problemas globales referidos por la literatura. En general se observa menor puntaje estándar a menor edad gestacional. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en sub pruebas de habilidades gráficas, percepción auditiva, atención auditiva y flexibilidad cognoscitiva. CONCLUSIONES: Los niños con antecedente de prematuridad extrema que participaron en la investigación evidencian una variedad de déficits en funciones neuropsicológicas, aunque su rendimiento, al igual que el del grupo control, es disarmónico, con puntajes altos en algunos ítems y bajos en otros.


INTRODUCTION: Monitoring of extremely preterm infants of school age reveals poor development of neuropsychological functions, compared to their full term peers. OBJECTIVE: To compare the neurop sychological functions of schoolchildren with history of extreme prematurity and full term children of the same age. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Non-experimental, cross-sectional research. Forty-three pre term children who born weighting less than 1,500 g and/or less than 32 weeks of gestational age and a control group made up of forty full-term children, classmates of the sample group were included. Both groups had no diagnosis of neurological, sensory or cognitive disability. Parents signed infor med consent forms and data were collected through the Child Neuropsychological Assessment-ENI2, which considers 14 items: construction skills, memory, Perceptual skills, language, metalinguistic skills, reading, writing, arithmetic, skills spatial, attention, conceptual skills, fluency, cognitive flexi bility and planning. Data obtained were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test, establishing significance level at p < 05. RESULTS: Research findings partially agree with problems reported in the literature. In general, a lower standard score was observed at lower gestational age. There were significant differen ces in subtests of graphical skills, auditory perception, auditory attention, and cognitive flexibility. CONCLUSIONS: Children with history of extreme prematurity who participated in this research showed a variety of deficits in neuropsychological functions, although their performance, as well as that of the control group, is disharmonic, with high scores in some items and low ones in others.

ABSTRACT

La linfangiectasia pulmonar congénita (LPC) unilateral es una enfermedad extremadamente rara de los vasos linfáticos pulmonares. OBJETIVO: presentar un caso de LPC en un recién nacido prematuro. CASO CLÍNICO: recién nacido masculino, prematuro, con insuficiencia respiratoria severa a las 2 horas de vida extrauterina, recibió tratamiento con surfactante exógeno, catecolaminas y ventilación de alta frecuencia oscilatoria (VAFO). La tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) de tórax reveló bulas y atrapamiento de aire de pulmón izquierdo, el estudio histopatológico describió dilatación quística de los canales linfáticos broncoalveolares. Se diagnosticó LPC unilateral secundaria. La evolución clínica hasta los 19 meses de edad fue normal y la TAC de tórax mostró escasas bulas enfisematosas. CONCLUSIONES: La LPC debe ser uno de los diagnósticos diferenciales en neonatos con dificultad respiratoria inexplicable. El pronóstico dependerá del tipo de LPC y de la afectación pulmonar.


Unilateral congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia (CPL) is an extremely rare disease of the pulmo nary lymphatic vessels. OBJECTIVE: to present a case of CPL in a premature newborn. CLINICAL CASE: premature male newborn with severe respiratory failure at 2 hours of extrauterine life was treated with exogenous surfactant, catecholamines and high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). Chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed bullae and air trapping of the left lung; the histopathological study showed cystic dilation of the bronchoalveolar lymphatic channels. The diagnosis of secondary unilateral CPL was made. The clinical course up to 19 months of age was normal and the chest CT scan showed few emphysematous bullae. CONCLUSIONS: CPL must be one of the differential diagnoses in neonates with unexplained respiratory distress. The prognosis will depend on the type of CPL and lung involvement.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: Los prematuros extremos tienen mayor incidencia de Hipertensión Arterial (HTA) y riesgo de daño renal, secundario a un menor número de glomérulos con la consiguiente hiperfiltración de los remanentes. Objetivo: Evaluar la prevalencia de cifras tensionales alteradas usando monitorización ambulatoria de presión arterial (MAPA) y marcadores de daño renal en escolares con antecedentes de prematurez extrema. Pacientes y Método: Realización medición aislada de presión arterial, MAPA, y evaluación de función renal en el seguimiento de prematuros extremos de edad escolar. Resultados: Se reclutaron 30 pacientes, obteniéndose mediciones válidas de MAPA en 19 casos, de los cuales nueve (47,4%) presentaron alteraciones, principalmente ausencia de diferencia de presión día noche. No hubo alteraciones de la función renal en ellos. Discusión: Nuestro estudio detectó una alta prevalencia de alteraciones en MAPA en escolares con antecedentes de prematurez extrema, principalmente la ausencia de diferencia de presión día noche, que se relaciona con mayor riesgo de progresión a HTA. Se resalta la importancia de realizar MAPA dentro del estudio en pacien tes con factores de riesgo de desarrollar HTA a fin de detectar en forma precoz alteraciones y realizar un manejo y seguimiento estrecho.


Abstract: Introduction: Extremely premature children have a higher incidence of High Blood Pressure (HBP) and risk of renal damage due to decreased glomerular count with consequent hyperfiltration of the remnants. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of altered blood pressure values in outpatient measurement and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in preterm infants ≤ 32 weeks and/ or ≤ 1,500 g birth weight between 5 and 7 years of age, as well as the presence of early renal damage markers. Patients and Methods: An isolated measurement of blood pressure, ABPM and laboratory tests (microalbuminuria/creatininuria ratio in an isolated urine sample, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and urinalysis) were performed. Results: 30 patients were recruited, of whom valid measu rements of ABPM were obtained in 19 cases, of which nine (47,4%) presented some abnormalities, principally nocturnal day/night difference or DIP absent. No abnormal laboratory tests were found. Discussion: Our study detected a high prevalence of abnormalities in ABPM principally DIP absence, which has been related to an increased risk of progression to hypertension. The importance of per forming ABPM in the study is emphasized in patients with risk factors for developing hypertension in order to detect early alterations and close management and follow-up.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: La hiperamonemia neonatal secundaria a errores congénitos del metabolismo es una entidad poco frecuente pero con una alta tasa de secuelas neurológicas y mortalidad. El manejo médico inicial es en muchas ocasiones insuficiente para detener el progresivo aumento de la amonemia, con el consecuente deterioro del paciente. Por esta razón se han implementado técnicas depurativas entre las que se cuenta la diálisis peritoneal, la hemodiálisis intermitente y las terapias de reemplazo renal continuo (TRRC). Objetivo: Describir nuestra experiencia en diálisis extracorpórea continua en pacientes con hiperamonemia neonatal gravemente enfermos. Pacientes y Método: Revisión retrospectiva de fichas clínicas de neonatos con hiperamonemias secundarias a errores congénitos del metabolismo sometidos a TRRC, admitidos en nuestra institución en los últimos 6 años. Se obtuvieron datos demográficos, edad cronológica y gestacional, género; datos antropométricos y de laboratorio (creatininemia, amonemia) e índice de gravedad por PIM-II. Se analizó la TRRC utilizada: modalidad, duración y complicaciones. El inicio de la terapia dependió de la respuesta al manejo médico en las primeras 24 horas, compromiso neurológico progresivo, o cifras de amonio sanguíneo elevados (> 400 μg/dl) al momento del ingreso. Las TRRC fueron realizadas con la máquina Prisma Flex, usando filtros M100 y/o HF20. Resultados: 6 neonatos, 4 varones, la mitad con antecedentes de prematurez, todos con compromiso neurológico agudo severo y amonemias en rango grave (> 1.000 μg/dl). La edad y peso promedio al iniciar la TRRC fueron de 10 días y 2.798 g respectivamente, amonemia (mediana) 1.663 μg/dl (rango 1.195-3.097). El puntaje PIM-II tuvo una mediana de 53 (rango 13,4-87,4). En promedio, los pacientes estuvieron 49,5 h en la terapia continua. En cuatro neonatos se usó una técnica dialítica mixta convectiva y difusiva (hemodiafiltración), y solo convectiva (hemofiltración) en las 2 restantes. La mortalidad fue de 33%, y uno de los sobrevivientes quedó con daño neurológico moderado permanente en seguimiento clínico. Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos en este grupo de neonatos extremadamente graves nos incentivan a proponer esta terapia dialítica como una excelente alternativa en el manejo de este tipo de pacientes.


Abstract: Introduction: Neonatal hyperammonemia secondary due to inborn errors of metabolism is a rare condition with a high rate of neurological sequelae and mortality. Initial medical management is often insufficient to stop the progressive increase of ammonia, with the consequent deterioration of the patient. For this reason, depurative techniques have been implemented, including peritoneal dialysis, intermittent hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Objective: To describe our experience with continuous extracorporeal dialysis in severely ill neonates with hyperammonemia. Patients and Methods: Retrospective review of clinical records of neonates with hyperammonemia due to congenital errors of metabolism undergoing CRRT admitted in our institution in the last 6 years. Demographic data, chronological and gestational age, gender, anthropometric and laboratory data (creatininemia, ammonemia), and severity index PIM-II where collected. It was analyzed the CRRT: modality, duration and complications. The stard of therapy depended on the response to medical management in the first 24 hours, progressive neurological involvement, or increased blood ammonia (> 400 qg/dl) at the time of admission. CRRTs were performed using the Prisma Flex system and M100 and/or HF20 filters. Results: 6 neonates, 4 males, half of them with a history of prematurity, all with severe acute neurological involvement and severe ammonemias (> 1,000 qg/dl). The average age and weight at the start of the CRRT were 10 days and 2798 g, respectively, ammonia (median) 1,663 qg/dl (range 1,195 - 3,097). The PIM-II score had a median of 53 (range 13.4 - 87.4). On average, patients were 49.5 hours in continuous therapy. In four neonates, a mixed convective and diffusive technique (hemodiafiltration) was used, and only convective one (hemofiltration) in the 2 remaining. Mortality was 33%, and one of the survivors had permanent moderate neurological damage in clinical follow-up. Conclusions: The results obtained in this extremely ill group of neonates encourage us to propose this dialytic therapy as an excellent alternative in the management of this type of patients.

ABSTRACT

Las estrategias nutricionales para prematuros extremos con alto aporte de proteínas, han mostrado alteraciones metabólicas con hipofosfemia precoz, especialmente en el grupo de pacientes con restricción de crecimiento intrauterino (Rein). También se presenta hipofosfemia tardía, característica de la enfermedad metabólica ósea. En este artículo se revisan y actualizan conceptos en relación a la fisiopatología del metabolismo del fósforo en recién nacidos prematuros y uso de parenterales precoces en el contexto de enfermedad metabólica ósea. Los artículos fueron identificados en base de datos electrónicas como Pubmed y Rima. Fueron incluidos artículos en inglés y español. Fueron filtrados por título y resumen. La literatura actual propone diversas estrategias de nutrición precoz que permitan asegurar una adecuada cantidad de nutrientes para continuar con el crecimiento y desarrollo extrauterino. En pacientes con nutrición parenteral pero con diferentes aportes de fósforo, o relación calcio: fósforo inadecuada, a mayor contenido de aminoácidos, se presenta hipofosfemia, hipercalcemia, hipomagnesemia, hipokalemia e hiperglicemia, especialmente en casos de Rein. Estas alteraciones se asocian a prolongación de ventilación mecánica, mayor riesgo de displasia broncopulmonar y aumento de sepsis tardía. La hipofosfemia tardía, descrita ya hace muchos años, se presenta con normocalcemia y aumento de fosfatasas alcalinas, en la enfermedad metabólica ósea del prematuro, con alteración de la mineralización en distintos grados, secundaria a un inadecuado aporte de este mineral para los altos requerimientos de estos pacientes. Esta presentación de hipofosfemia precoz y tardía en el prematuro alerta sobre el control oportuno de fosfemia para ajustar el aporte nutricional. En el prematuro con nutrición parenteral precoz, el control en conjunto con la calcemia en la primera semana de vida, especialmente en Rein, permite tratar la hipofosfemia y prevenir sus complicaciones. En hipofosfemia tardía, el seguimiento semanal o quincenal desde las 4 semanas a los prematuros con riesgo, permite lograr un aporte óptimo de minerales.


New nutritional approaches to treat extreme premature babies have demonstrated relevant eviden ce of metabolic disturbances with early hypophosphatemia, especially in patients with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). They have shown late hypophosphatemia, as well, which is characteristic in the metabolic bone disease. A sytematic search of literature describing metabolic disturbances of phosphorus in preterm newborns is presented, related to the use of early parenteral nutrition and also in the context of metabolic bone disease. The articles were gathered from electronic data bases, such as PubMed and Rima. We include articles in english and spanish which were selected by titles and abstracts. Several strategies for early nutrition have been proposed in order to ensure an adequate amount of nutrients to accomplish the development and growth of preterm babies. Patients with parenteral nutrition support with different doses of phosphate, or inadequate calcium phosphate relation, or an increased amino acid content, may present hypophosphatemia, hypercalcemia, hy pomagnesemia, hypokalemia and hyperglycemia, all of these are additionally noteworthy in the pre sence of intrauterine growth restriction. Furthermore, said alterations are associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, as well as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and increase in late onset sepsis. The late hypophosphatemia, described several years ago, arises as normocalcemia and as an increment of alkaline phosphatases in the metabolic bone disease in preterm babies, and also with an inadequate mineralization in different grades, secondary to an inadequate supply due to high nutritional requi rements in these patients. When early or late hypophosphatemia appears in preterm babies, it shall require timely control of phosphemia and will need to adjust the nutritional intake in order to correct it. In case of preterm babies with early parenteral nutrition it will also need a control of calcemia in the first week of birth, especially if those belonging to the IUGR group. Adjustment must be made along with metabolic follow up, as well. In late hypophosphatemia, a weekly or every two weeks fo llow up will be a must for all preterm babies in risk and they should be given supplements to get an optimum mineral supply.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La enfermedad metabólica ósea (EMO) del recién nacido prematuro (RNPT) es una complicación de origen multifactorial, que ha ido en aumento, consecuencia de la disminución progresiva de la mortalidad. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar los factores de riesgo (FR) pre y postnatales relacionados con la EMO severa y sus marcadores analíticos. Pacientes y Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo observacional, descriptivo y analítico, que incluyó RNPT nacidos con menos de 32 semanas y/o peso menor de 1.500 g entre enero de 2012 y diciembre de 2014. Se analizó la muestra en función del desarrollo de EMO severa. Resultados: 139 pacientes, con 25(OH)D3 media de 70,68 ± 25,20 nmol/l, mayor en los nacidos en primavera-verano que en otoño-invierno (80,94 ± 25,33 vs 61,13±21,07; p = 0,000). Los pacientes con EMO severa presentaron valores de 25(OH)D3 similares al resto de pacientes (65,61 ± 26,49 vs 72,07 ± 24,89; p = 0,283), y superiores de fosfatasa alcalina (FA) (1314,19 ± 506,67 vs 476,56 ± 188,85; p = 0,000). Mediante curva ROC se calculó un punto de corte de FA de 796,5 IU/l (S 95,2%, E 92,4%). Los FR más asociados al desarrollo de EMO severa fueron el crecimiento intrauterino restringido, el peso al nacimiento y la duración de ventiloterapia y nutrición parenteral. Conclusiones: Las cifras de FA son las que mejor se relacionan con el desarrollo de EMO severa. El riesgo de ésta aumenta a mayor número de factores de riesgo y menores cifras de vitamina D3. Niveles de 25(OH)D3 por encima de 70 nmol/l parecen proteger del desarrollo de EMO, incluso en pacientes con múltiples factores de riesgo.


Background: Metabolic bone disease (MBD) of prematurity is a complication of multifactorial aetiology, which has been increasing, due to progressive decrease in mortality of preterm newborns. The aim of the study was to analyze risk factors of severe MBD and its analytical markers. Patients and Method: Retrospective study involving preterm infants less than 32 weeks gestational age and/or weight less tan 1,500 g born between january 2012 and december 2014. Comparison was made according to the presence of severe MBD. Results: 139 patients were recruited. Mean value of 25(OH)D3 was 70.68 ± 25.20 nmol/L, being higher in patients born in spring-summer than in autumn-winter (80.94 ± 25.33 vs 61.13 ± 21.07; p = 0.000). Levels of 25(OH)D3 were similar in patients with severe MBD compared with the rest of patients (65.61 ± 26.49 vs 72.07 ± 24.89, P = 0.283). Higher levels of alkaline phosphatase (AP, IU/L ) (1314.19 ± 506.67 vs 476.56 ± 188.85; p = 0.000) were found in these patients. Cutoff point of AP 796.5 IU/L (S 95.2%, specificity 92.4%) was calculated by ROC curve. The risk factors most associated to severe EMO were restricted fetal growth, birth weight, duration of ventilation therapy and parenteral nutrition. Conclusions: AP levels were the best marker of severe MBD development. EMO risk increases with the number of risk factors and lower levels of 25(OH)D3. Levels of 25(OH)D3 higher than 70nmol/L appear to protect from the development of severe MBD, even in patients with multiple risk factors.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Procedures for extending the life of newborns are closely related to potential causes of hearing loss, justifying the identification and understanding of risk factors for this deficiency. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the population, analyze the frequency of risk factors for hearing loss, and assess the audiological status of infants attended in a Newborn Hearing Screening program (NHS). METHODS: This was a retrospective study that analyzed medical records of 140 patients from a neonatal intensive care unit, identifying the frequency of risk factors for hearing loss and audiological status, utilizing transient otoacoustic emissions and brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP). RESULTS: Prematurity was present in 78.87% of cases; 45% of the infants were underweight and 73% received ototoxic medication. Audiologically, 11.42% failed the NHS, and 5% of cases failed retest; of these, one had results compatible with hearing loss on BAEP. CONCLUSION: A higher rate of low birth weight, and prematurity was observed in infants who underwent screening and had an audiological diagnosis by the third month of life. Only one newborn presented a change in audiological status. The authors emphasize the importance of auditory monitoring for all infants, considering this as a high-risk sample for hearing loss.


RESUMO INTRODUÇÃO: Os procedimentos para prolongamento da vida dos neonatos estão intimamente relacionados com possíveis causas de deficiência auditiva, justificando-se a identificação e o conhecimento dos indicadores de risco para tal deficiência. OBJETIVO: Caracterizar a população, analisar a frequência dos indicadores de risco para a deficiência auditiva e verificar o status audiológico de bebês atendidos num programa de Triagem Auditiva Neonatal (TAN). MÉTODO: Estudo do tipo retrospectivo. Foram analisados 140 prontuários da Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal, caracterizando a população estudada e a frequência dos indicadores de risco para deficiência auditiva e status audiológico, e considerando resultados das emissões otoacústicas transientes e a avaliação diagnóstica por meio do Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Tronco Encefálico (PEATE). RESULTADOS: Evidenciou-se prematuridade em 78,87% dos casos, 45% exibiam baixo peso e 73% estavam sendo medicados com agentes ototóxicos. Quanto ao status audiológico, 11,42% falharam na TAN. Houve falha no reteste em 5% dos casos e, destes, um neonato apresentou resultado compatível com deficiência auditiva no PEATE. CONCLUSÃO: Houve maior porcentual de prematuros de baixo peso que realizaram a triagem e tiveram um diagnóstico audiológico até o 3° mês de vida. Apenas um neonato apresentou status audiológico alterado. Ressalta-se a importância de acompanhamento auditivo de todos os bebês, considerando esta amostra como de alto risco para deficiência auditiva.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: It is to examine clinical manifestations, early biochemical indicators, and risk factors for non-oliguric hyperkalemia (NOHK) in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected clinical and biochemical data from 75 ELBWI admitted to Ajou University Hospital between Jan. 2008 and Jun. 2011 by reviewing medical records retrospectively. NOHK was defined as serum potassium > or =7 mmol/L during the first 72 hours of life with urine output > or =1 mL/kg/h. RESULTS: NOHK developed in 26.7% (20/75) of ELBWI. Among NOHK developed in ELBWI, 85% (17/20) developed within postnatal (PN) 48 hours, 5% (1/20) experienced cardiac arrhythmia and 20% (4/20) of NOHK infants expired within PN 72 hours. There were statistically significant differences in gestational age, use of antenatal steroid, and serum phosphorous level at PN 24 hours, and serum sodium, calcium, and urea levels at PN 72 hours between NOHK and non-NOHK groups (p-value <0.050). However, there were no statistical differences in the rate of intraventricular hemorrhage, arrhythmia, mortality occurred, methods of fluid therapy, supplementation of amino acid and calcium, frequencies of umbilical artery catheterization and urine output between the two groups. CONCLUSION: NOHK is not a rare complication in ELBWI. It occurs more frequently in ELBWI with younger gestational age and who didn't use antenatal steroid. Furthermore, electrolyte imbalance such as hypernatremia, hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia occurred more often in NOHK group within PN 72 hours. Therefore, more use of antenatal steroid and careful control by monitoring electrolyte imbalance should be considered in order to prevent NOHK in ELBWI.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo Evaluar el desarrollo del lenguaje mediante la comparacion de dos pruebas: el método del desarrollo de MUNICH y la escala de evaluación del lenguaje EARLY LANGUAGE MILESTONE, con el proposito de identificar la correspondencia de los dos test diagnosticos y enriquecer la consulta de neurodesarrollo. Método Teniendo en cuenta que La prematurez es un factor de riesgo para presentar desviaciones del desarrollo del lenguaje en el niño; se evaluaron las historias clínicas de una cohorte de 129 niños, con edad gestacional menor de 40 semanas y edad corregida de 0 a 12 meses, a quienes se les había aplicado los dos test, entre los años 2008 y 2011, se compararon los resultados de las dos escalas en lo que tiene que ves al lenguaje comprensivo, lenguaje expresivo y respuesta visual, de EARLY LANGUAJE MILESTONE, como la evaluacion de respuesta verbal, juego vocal, conprensión y expresión de la escala de MUNICH. Se realizo una comparación de medias mediante la prueba de T de Student para muestras paredas. Resultados Se encontró una correlación estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05) entre los dos test y entre estos con la edad corregida. Se evidenció que a mayor edad corregida existe mayor correlación entre las pruebas. Conclusión La escala de Early Language Milestone y el método diagnóstico funcional del desarrollo según M únich, en sus tópicos de lenguaje, son herramientas útiles para el seguimiento del desarrollo del lenguaje en los niños con antecedente de prematurez.


Objective Evaluating language development by comparing the Munich Development method to the Early Language Milestone scale for identifying both diagnostic tests' agreement and enriching neurodevelopmental consultation. Methods The clinical histories of a cohort of 129 children were evaluated, as prematurity is a risk factor for deviation in children's language development. The children had less than 40 weeks gestational age and 0 to 12 months corrected age. They were given both tests between 2008 and 2011. The results from both scales were compared regarding receptive and expressive language and visual response (Early Language Milestone scale) and evaluation of verbal response, vocal play, understanding and expression (Munich scale). Student's T-test was used for comparing means for paired samples. Results A statistically significant correlation (p<0.05) was found between both tests and between them and corrected age. It was seen that the higher the corrected age, the greater correlation there was between tests. Conclusion The Early Language Milestone and Munich Development scales, regarding their components dealing with language, both represent useful tools for following-up premature children's language development.
