[Comparison of mortality and morbidity in newborns treated with ambroxol prenatally and postnatally]. / Porównanie smiertelnosci i zachorowalnosci noworodków leczonych Ambroksolem prenatalnie i pourodzeniowo.

The effect of Ambroksol given pre- and postnatal on infant mortality and morbidity was performed. In particular we found a statistically significant differences in reduction of mortality in the group A treated with Ambroksol pre- and postnatal vs. group B treated only postnatal. The other parameters of morbidity had no significantly importance but sepsis, which was more often diagnosed in group A than in group B (17.5% vs. 11.1%). We connect this fact with higher frequency of PROM in the group A.
