RESUMEN
Introducción. La mortalidad en pacientes <1000 g de peso ha disminuido de 90% a 55%, desde 1970 al 2000, pero se han incrementado las secuelas y la estancia intrahospitalaria. Métodos. Para conocer las causas de mortalidad en neonatos de <1000 g, se revisaron certificados y registros hospitalarios y para cuantificar se usaron tasas, medidas de dispersión y proporciones. Resultados. En el periodo de agosto-2005 a julio-2006 nacieron 18, 952 pacientes; 152 (0.8%) eran de <1000 g de peso. De estos pacientes fallecieron 98 (64.4%), 54 masculinos y 44 femeninos (1.2:1). El peso promedio fue de 760 g y la edad gestacional promedio fue de 26 semanas (22 a 35). El Apgar al minuto fue de 4-5 en promedio y 6-7 a los 5 minutos. Las causas de defunción fueron inmadurez en 28/98 casos (28%), hemorragia intracraneana (HIC) 22/98 (22%), sepsis 17/98 (17%), hemorragia pulmonar 9/98 (9%) y falla orgánica múltiple 3/98 (3%). Conclusiones. Se observó 64% de mortalidad en pacientes de <1000 g de peso. Las causas de muerte fueron: inmadurez, HIC y sepsis; la mitad de las muertes ocurrieron en las primeras 48 horas de vida.
ABSTRACT
Background. Mortality in neonates <1 000 g has decreased since the 1970s until now from 90% to 55%, but neurological sequelae and hospital stay have increased. We undertook this study in order to determine the prevalence and etiology of mortality in neonates <1 000 g in an Ob-Gyn Unit of the IMSS. Methods. Causes of death in neonates weighing <1 000 g were obtained from hospital registries using dispersion, rates and proportions. Results. During a 1-year period, 18 952 neonates were born; 152 (0.8%) weighed <1 000 g and 98(64%) did not survive. There were 54 (55.1%) males and 44 (44.9%) females (1.2:1). The mean weight was 760 g, and mean gestational age was 26 weeks (range: 22-35 weeks). The principal causes of deaths were immaturity in 28/98 cases (28%), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in 22/98 (22%), sepsis in 17/98 (17%), pulmonary hemorrhage in 9/98 (9%) and multiple organ failure in 3/98 (3%). Conclusion. Mortality in neonates with very low birth weight (VLBW, <1 000 g) was 64%. Immaturity, ICH and sepsis were the main causes of death. Half of these deaths occurred during the first 48 h of life.
