ollow up results of premature infants

Abstract

<p>In recent years mortality in preterm infants decreased with development in neonatal intensive care units. Inspite of the advances in intensive care, increased morbidity is still a serious problem for this special group of newborns. or this reason preterm babies must be followed up more frequently than term babies for their growth, development and possible complications. In this study, 50 preterm infants with gestational ages between 24-36 weeks were followed up for 2 years longitudinally. The babies were evaluated for catch-up growth, neuromotor development, retinopathy, anemia and osteopenia of prematurity; the results were discussed in view of the literature.</p>

<p>Yenido?an ?nitelerinde son y?llarda g?r?len geli?melerle birlikte preterm bebeklerde mortalite azalm??t?r. Ancak bu ?zel bebek grubunda artan morbidite halen sorun olmaktad?r. Bu nedenle, preterm bebeklerin term bebeklerden farkl? olarak daha s?k aralarla izlenmesi ve ortaya ??kabilecek komplikasyonlarla m?cadele etmek gerekmektedir. Bu ama?la, 2001-2003 y?llar? aras?nda Dr. L?tfi K?rdar Kartal ?itim ve Ara?t?rma Hastanesi ?ocuk Sa?l??? ve Hastal?klar? Klini?i Yenido?an ?nitesinde yatm?? 50 preterm bebek izleme al?nd?. Gestasyon ya?? 24-36 hafta aras?nda de?i?en 50 preterm bebek b?y?me ve geli?imleri a??s?ndan prospektif olarak iki y?l s?reyle takip edildi. Bebekler b?y?meyi yakalama, n?romotor geli?im, premat?re retinopatisi, osteopeni ve anemi y?n?nden incelendi; elde edilen sonu?lar literat?r e?li?inde tart???ld?.</p>
