Abstract Objective: To assess the predictive value of selected growth phenotypes for neonatal morbidity and mortality in preterm infants < 30 weeks and to compare them with INTERGROWTH-21st (IG21). Methods: Retrospective analysis of data from the Brazilian Neonatal Research Network (BNRN) database for very low birth weight (VLBW) at 20 public tertiary-care university hospitals. Outcome: the composite neonatal morbidity and mortality (CNMM) consisted of in-hospital death, oxygen use at 36 weeks, intraventricular hemorrhage grade 3 or 4, and Bell stage 2 or 3 necrotizing enterocolitis. Selected growth phenotypes: small-for-gestational-age (SGA) defined as being < 3rd (SGA3) or 10th (SGA10) percentiles of BW, and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) as being > 97th percentile of BW. Stunting as being < 3rd percentile of the length and wasting as being < 3rd percentile of BMI. Single and multiple log-binomial regression models were fitted to estimate the relative risks of CNMM, comparing them to IG21. Results: 4,072 infants were included. The adjusted relative risks of CNMM associated with selected growth phenotypes were (BNRN/IG21): 1.45 (0.92–2.31)/1.60 (1.27–2.02) for SGA; 0.90 (0.55–1.47)/1.05 (0.55–1.99) for LGA; 1.65 (1.08–2.51)/1.58 (1.28–1.96) for stunting; and 1.48 (1.02–2.17) for wasting. Agreement between the two references was variable. The growth phenotypes had good specificity (>95%) and positive predictive value (70-90%), with poor sensitivity and low negative predictive value. Conclusion: The BNRN phenotypes at birth differed markedly from the IG21 standard and showed poor accuracy in predicting adverse neonatal outcomes.

Abstract Objective Assess the mediating role of breastfeeding self-efficacy in the association between the Kangaroo Neonatal Intermediate Care Unit and exclusive breastfeeding. Method Cross-sectional study nested in a cohort, carried out in the Neonatal Unit of a Brazilian university hospital between September 2018 and March 2020. The sample consisted of 114 newborns weighing ≤1800 g and their mothers who were divided into those who participated in the first and second stages of the Kangaroo Method and those who only passed through the first stage, categorized as the Conventional group. To assess the self-efficacy of breastfeeding, the Breastfeeding Self Efficacy Scale - Short-Form was used. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the breastfeeding self-efficacy score between the groups, and Fisher's exact test to compare rates of exclusive breastfeeding. The adjusted structural equation model was used to check for the mediating effect of breastfeeding self-efficacy. The significance level adopted was 5%. Results The kangaroo group had a higher rate of exclusive breastfeeding at hospital discharge (p= 0.000). There was a positive association between having remained in the kangaroo (p= 0.003) and the breastfeeding self-efficacy score (p= 0.025) with the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at hospital discharge. Breastfeeding self-efficacy did not act as a mediator. Conclusion The self-efficacy of breastfeeding and the stay of the low birth weight newborn baby in the kangaroo unit acted positively and independently in exclusive breastfeeding, and the self-efficacy of breastfeeding did not act as a mediator in this association.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência da hipotermia na sala de parto, à admissão e 2 a 3 horas após a admissão na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN), fatores associados e possível associação com morbimortalidade em recém-nascidos pré-termo de muito baixo peso (RNPT MBP). Métodos: Estudo transversal, com coleta retrospectiva de dados em prontuários dos RNPT MBP nascidos em 2016 e 2017, com peso <1500g e idade gestacional <34 semanas. Foram analisados dados dos RNPT MBP, da mãe e a temperatura na sala de parto. Foi considerada hipotermia a temperatura axilar <36°C. Para análise estatística, foram utilizados teste do qui-quadrado ou teste G, correlacçã canônica e de Spearman, e regressaã logística. Resultados: Fizeram parte do estudo 149 recém-nascidos (RN). A prevalência da hipotermia na sala de parto, à admissão na UTIN e 2 a 3 horas após a admissão, foi de 25,8, 41,5 e 40,2%, respectivamente. A temperatura do RN foi diretamente proporcional à idade gestacional (p<0,010), ao peso ao nascimento (p<0,010) e ao índice de Apgar (p<0,050). Observou-se associação inversa entre hipotermia na sala de parto e parto cesáreo (OR 0,25; p=0,016). Conclusões: A hipotermia foi um problema prevalente na população estudada. A temperatura do RN foi diretamente proporcional à idade gestacional, peso ao nascimento e Boletim de Apgar. Esteve também associada a fatores maternos, como parto cesáreo. Portanto, faz-se necessário a implementação e aprimoramento de estratégias para a sua prevenção.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the prevalence of hypothermia in the delivery room, at admission, and 2 to 3 hours after admission in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), factors associated and possible relationship with morbidity and mortality in preterm infants with very low birth weight (VLBW). Methods: Cross-sectional study with data collection based on a retrospective review of medical records and including infants born in 2016 and 2017, with birth weights <1500g, and gestational ages <34 weeks. Data about VLBW preterm infants, maternal data and temperature in the delivery room were analyzed. Hypothermia was considered when axillary temperature <36°C. For statistical analysis, the chi-square test or G test, canonical and Spearman correlation, and logistic regression were used. Results: 149 newborns (NB) were included in the study. The prevalence of hypothermia in delivery room, at admission to the NICU and 2 to 3 hours after admission was 25.8%, 41.5% and 40.2%, respectively. The temperature of NBs was directly proportional to gestational age (p<0.010), birth weight (p<0.010), and Apgar score (p<0.050). There was an inverse association with hypothermia in the delivery room and cesarean delivery (OR 0.25; p=0.016). Conclusions: Hypothermia was a prevalent problem in the studied population. The neonatal temperature was directly proportional to gestational age, birth weight and Apgar score. Hypothermia was associated with maternal factors, such as cesarean delivery. It is necessary to implement and improve strategies for its prevention.

RESUMO Objetivos: investigar intercorrências respiratórias no primeiro ano de vida de prematuros não contemplados com anticorpo monoclonal palivizumabe. Métodos: estudo de coorte retrospectivo, analítico, com prematuros nascidos entre 2012 e 2016, em Uberlândia, MG. Coleta realizada de janeiro a novembro de 2018, em prontuários hospitalar e da atenção básica. Utilizou-se modelo de regressão de Poisson; considerou-se p<0.05. Resultados: de 5.213 nascimentos prematuros, 504 (9,7%) atenderam os critérios; esses prematuros tiveram 2.899 atendimentos na atenção básica; 1.098 (37,5%) com diagnóstico médico, 803 (78,5%) do trato respiratório. Prematuros com fórmula láctea na alta hospitalar tiveram mais diagnósticos de doenças respiratórias. Idade materna (p=0,039), diagnóstico respiratório na alta (p=0,028), número de consultas eventuais (p<0,001) apresentaram associação significativa com bronquiolite. Consultas eventuais foram significantes para doenças respiratórias; o aleitamento materno mostrou-se protetor para bronquiolite. Conclusões: prematuros sem palivizumabe apresentaram elevado percentual de doenças respiratórias; observou-se efeito protetor do aleitamento materno. Recomenda-se vigilância desses prematuros na atenção primária.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the occurrence of respiratory complications over the first year of life in preterm infants who did not receive palivizumab monoclonal antibodies. Methods: analytical retrospective cohort study with preterm infants born between 2012 and 2016 in Uberlândia, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data collection occurred from January to November 2018, by consulting hospital and primary healthcare medical records. Data were processed with the Poisson regression model, with p<0.05. Results: of a total of 5,213 preterm births, 504 (9.7%) met the inclusion criteria. The preterm infants in this subset were assisted 2,899 times in primary care, which resulted in 1,098 (37.5%) medical diagnoses, of which 803 (78.5%) involved the respiratory tract. Preterm babies fed on formula milk at hospital discharge had more diagnoses of respiratory diseases. Maternal age (p=0.039), respiratory diagnosis at hospital discharge (p=0.028), and number of sporadic appointments (p<0.001) showed a significant association with bronchiolitis; number of sporadic appointments showed a significant association with occurrence of respiratory diseases; and breastfeeding had a protective effect against the development of bronchiolitis. Conclusions: preterm infants who did not receive palivizumab showed a high percentage of respiratory diseases, and breastfeeding helped protect them against bronchiolitis. It is recommended that these preterm babies be monitored in primary health care.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the impact of invasive mechanical ventilation associated with two serum inflammatory cytokines and clinical indicators, on the second day of life, as predictors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very low birth weight preterm infants. It was hypothesized that the use of invasive mechanical ventilation in the first hours of life is associated with biomarkers that may predict the chances of preterm infants to develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Methods Prospective cohort of 40 preterm infants with gestational age <34 weeks and birth weight <1500 g. The following were analyzed: clinical variables; types of ventilator support used (there is a higher occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia when oxygen supplementation is performed by long periods of invasive mechanical ventilation); hospitalization time; quantification of two cytokines (granulocyte and macrophage colony stimulating factor [GM-CSF] and eotaxin) in blood between 36 and 48 h of life. The preterm infants were divided in two groups: with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Results The GM-CSF levels presented a significantly higher value in the bronchopulmonary dysplasia group (p = 0.002), while eotaxin presented higher levels in the group without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (p = 0.02). The use of continuous invasive mechanical ventilation was associated with increased ratios between GM-CSF and eotaxin (100% sensitivity and 80% specificity; receiver operating characteristic area = 0.9013, CI = 0.7791–1.024, p < 0.0001). Conclusions The duration of invasive mechanical ventilation performed in the first 48 h of life in the very low birth weight infants is a significant clinical predictor of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The use of continuous invasive mechanical ventilation was associated with increased ratios between GM-CSF and eotaxin, suggesting increased lung injury and consequent progression of the disease.

Resumo Esta revisão integrativa da literatura teve como objetivo verificar se o Método Canguru, conforme instituído no Brasil, desde a primeira etapa até o acompanhamento ambulatorial, tem influência sobre o aleitamento materno. Foram incluídas pesquisas realizadas no Brasil, publicadas em periódicos nacionais e internacionais, nas principais bases de dados, em português, inglês ou espanhol, nos anos de 2000 a 2017, disponíveis na íntegra e com a temática relacionada com o objetivo deste estudo. Foram encontrados 1328 artigos sendo excluídos artigos não realizados no Brasil, artigos de revisão da literatura e de temáticas não relacionadas com o Método Canguru, sendo então selecionados 21 estudos. As pesquisas encontradas apontaram para uma influência positiva do Método Canguru sobre o aleitamento materno e estabelecimento de vínculo entre mãe-filho. No entanto, a terceira etapa ou acompanhamento ambulatorial, não se mostrou eficaz na manutenção do aleitamento materno. Faz-se necessário maior participação da atenção básica nos cuidados domiciliares prestados ao recém-nascido pré-termo, com vistas à promoção do aleitamento materno exclusivo até os seis meses de idade e complementado até os dois anos.

Abstract The scope of this integrative review of the literature was to assess if the Kangaroo-Mother Care Method as implemented in Brazil, from the first stage to outpatient follow-up, has an influence on breastfeeding. Brazilian research published in national and international journals in Portuguese, English or Spanish in the leading research databases between the years 2000 to 2017 was included, with full articles available and theme related to the scope of this study. A total of 1328 articles were located and articles not conducted in Brazil, literature review articles and themes not related to the Kangaroo-Mother Care Method were excluded, with 21 studies eventually being selected. The research results indicated a positive influence of the Kangaroo-Mother Care Method on breastfeeding and establishing a mother-child bond. However, the third stage or outpatient follow-up proved not to be effective in maintaining breastfeeding. Greater participation of primary care in home care provided to preterm newborns is necessary, with a view to promoting exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age and extended up to two years of age.

Resumo Pacientes pediátricos, principalmente internados em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTI) neonatal, são altamente vulneráveis aos erros de medicação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi conhecer a frequência dos erros de prescrição em uma UTI neonatal de um hospital universitário, bem como os pacientes susceptíveis, os tipos de erros e os medicamentos envolvidos. As variáveis prescritas relacionadas aos medicamentos foram comparadas com a base utilizada como referência para a prescrição na unidade (Neofax). Participaram do estudo 150 recém-nascidos. Foram analisadas 489 prescrições, 1.491 itens de medicamentos, correspondendo a 46 fármacos. A taxa de erros de prescrição foi de 43,5%. Foram encontrados erros de dose, intervalo, diluente e tempo de infusão, distribuídos em sete classes terapêuticas. A ocorrência de erros foi maior em recém-nascidos pré-termos. Os erros de diluente e de dose foram os mais frequentes. As classes de medicamentos mais envolvidas nos erros foram os anti-infecciosos e aqueles que atuam nos sistemas nervoso e cardiovascular.

Abstract Pediatric patients, especially those admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (ICU), are highly vulnerable to medication errors. This study aimed to measure the prescription error rate in a university hospital neonatal ICU and to identify susceptible patients, types of errors, and the medicines involved. The variables related to medicines prescribed were compared to the Neofax prescription protocol. The study enrolled 150 newborns and analyzed 489 prescription order forms, with 1,491 medication items, corresponding to 46 drugs. Prescription error rate was 43.5%. Errors were found in dosage, intervals, diluents, and infusion time, distributed across 7 therapeutic classes. Errors were more frequent in preterm newborns. Diluent and dosing were the most frequent sources of errors. The therapeutic classes most involved in errors were antimicrobial agents and drugs that act on the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

In this study, IgA1 levels in the milk and serum of puerperae were compared and a correlation was established between the levels of this immunoglobulin and the occurrence of parasitism. Eighty-three paired milk and serum samples were obtained from puerperal and IgA1 levels were analyzed. In addition, the presence of intestinal parasites in stool samples from these puerperae was determined. Twelve puerperae tested positive for intestinal parasites and all their samples presented an IgA1 ELISA Index > 1. There was a correlation between serum and milk IgA1 levels and puerperae with any parasite in their stool (r = 0.6723; p = 0.0166). This finding may reinforce the importance of breast-feeding for the protection of neonates.
