ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the clinical characteristics of neonatal gastric perforation (NGP) and risk factors of mortality.Methods:From January 2015 to May 2022, infants with NGP admitted to NICU of our hospital were retrospectively studied. They were assigned into the survival group and the death group. Clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging results, surgical treatments and prognosis were compared and risk factors of mortality were determined.Results:A total of 27 infants with NGP were enrolled, including 17 males and 10 females. 24 were premature infants and 3 were term infants. 26 infants had low birth weight. 3 infants had neonatal resuscitation due to asphyxia, 10 received positive pressure ventilation before the onset of perforation symptoms, 2 showed gastrointestinal malformations and 3 with septic shock before surgery. The median age of onset was 2.0 d. The main presenting symptom was abdominal distension, with most perforations occurring at the greater curvature of the stomach. 20 cases had congenital gastric muscular layer defects. 21 cases survived and 6 cases died. Age of onset was later in the death group than the survival group [2.5 (2.0, 7.8) days vs. 1.9 (1.4, 3.0) days]. The survival group had higher preoperative platelet count than the death group [(218±80) ×10 9/L vs. (126±73)×10 9/L]. The incidences of thrombocytopenia, septic shock and multi-organ dysfunction syndrome before surgery in the survival group were significantly lower than the death group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative thrombocytopenia was a risk factor for NGP mortality ( OR=19.000, 95% CI 2.029-177.932, P=0.010). Conclusions:NGP is more common in male infants, premature infants and low birth weight infants. The most common etiology is congenital gastric muscular layer defects. The mortality rate is high and preoperative thrombocytopenia is a risk factor for mortality.
