RESUMEN
Objetivo. Evaluar si la morbilidad y mortalidad de los neonatos <1500 g se relacionan con el volumen de pacientes atendidos y el número y capacitación del personal médico y de enfermería,y si existen diferencias entre centros públicos y privados. Población, material y métodos. Los quince centros del Grupo Colaborativo Neocosur se clasificaron según el número de nacimientos anualesde <1500 g en: <50 (bajo), 50-100 (medio) y >100 (alto), y su condición de públicos o privados. Se analizaron la base de datos y se realizó una encuesta sobre indicadores de actividad, número, carga laboral y capacitación del personal médico y de enfermería.Las medidas de resultados fueron muerte antes del egreso y morbilidades: hemorragia intracraneana (HIC), retinopatía del prematuro (ROP),displasia broncopulmonar (DBP) y sepsis tardía. Resultados. Entre enero 2005 y diciembre 2007 hubo 2019 neonatos <1500 g. La media (DE) de mortalidad fue 23,24 por ciento (8,48); las medianas (intervalo intercuartílico) fueron: DBP 20,8 por ciento(15-43), ROP mayor o igual III 5, 6 por ciento (2,7-8,5), HIC, mayor o igual III 7,3 por ciento(6-14) y sepsis tardía 23 por ciento (15,4-29). Los centros con menos RN < 1500 g tuvieron la tasa de sepsis tardía más elevada (p: 0,004). Los centros con mayor número de nacimientos presentaron mayo rriesgo de HIC y ROP y contaban con más pediatras neonatólogos. Los centros medios tuvieron mayor número de jornadas completas de enfermería. Siete centros tuvieron una relación enfermera-cuna <0,77.Conclusiones. Los resultados neonatales están relacionados con el volumen de actividad y el nivel de los profesionales, especialmente enfermeras y auxiliares. No hubo diferencias significativas entre centros públicos y privado.
ABSTRACT
Introduction. Few studies have attempted to evaluate the relationship between medical and nursing staffing and neonatal outcomes providinginconclusive evidence. The purpose wasto assess whether morbidity and mortality of VLBW infants are associated with levels of patientvolume, provision and training of medical and nursing, and if exist differences between public and private centers. Material and methods. Neonatal outcomes of all VLBW inborn infants consecutively admitted to 15 South-American NICUs between 2005and 2007 were retrospectively studied. Data of patient volume and provision of medical & nursing resources were obtained from questionnaires.Outcome measures: death before discharge, incidence of severe IVH, BPD, ROP and late onset sepsis, adjusted for initial risk (Neocosurscore). Units were categorized using total annual number of newborns <1500 g (low <50, medium 50-100, and high >100) and in publicand private centers. Results. 2019 preterms were admitted. Mean(SD) gestational age, birth weight and initial risk were 28.9 (0.7) weeks, 1088 (53) g and 0.24 (0.04) respectively. Mortality varied among units and ranged between 6 to 38% (mean 23.2%), as well as other outcomes (median, intercuartil range[ICR]): severe IVH 7.3% (6-14); BPD 20.8% (15-43); ROP ≥ III 5.6% (2.7-8.5); late sepsis 23% (15-29).Staff provision were: daily medical hours (median, ICR) 2.6 (1.4-4.0), full-time (>40 h/week) equivalent physicians (mean, SD) 15(8), dailynurse hours 6.1 (4.3-7.9), full-time (>40 h/week) equivalent nurses 32 (22-56) and nurses-to-infant ratio 0.78 (0.52-0.92). Median daily NICU censuswas 9.8 (8.9-12). A low medical hours provision was significantly associated with increased mortality (OR 1.30 [95%CI: 1.04-1.76], p= 0.020); on the other hand low nurse provision was significantly associated with increased risk of mortality, adjusted by motherage and initial risk (trained NIC 1.52 [1.16 -1.99], nurses-to-infant ratio 1.81 [1.40-2.33])...
