          Abstract

          Introducción: La readmisión neonatal es un tema muy importante con morbilidad significativa y costosa responsabilidad, constituye un especial desafío para el pediatra, debido a la inespecificidad y labilidad con que el RN reacciona ante diferentes noxas y la variedad de patologías que pue den presentarse de manera similar. Objetivo: Conocer las causas de reingreso, las características perinatales y la morbimortalidad de una población de recién nacidos readmitidos en el primer mes de vida y analizar las estrategias posibles que resulten en la mejor atención de la madre y el RN en la sala de alojamiento conjunto. Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo, analítico, observacional, incluyeron todos los recién nacidos egresados del Servicio de alojamiento conjunto y readmitidos en el Departamento de Neonatología del Centro Materno Infantil (San Lorenzo), en los primeros 28 días de vida, en el periodo comprendido de enero del 2004 a junio del 2005. Resultados: Total de RN readmitidos 51. Promedio de edad materna 24 años (16-41), 76% de las madres presentaron CPN suficiente, en el grupo de pacientes readmitidos el 40% tuvieron CPN insuficientes y 30% en el límite (4). El 57% (29/51) nuligesta, 20% primigesta, nacieron por cesárea el 52% de los RN. Peso de nacimiento promedio 3189 g. DS +/- 593, edad gestacional promedio 38 semanas DS +/- 2, 41% fueron RN casi de término y limítrofe (35-37 sem.). 63% masculinos, el 100% presentaron Apgar de 8/9. Edad media al alta 3 días +/- 1, el 100% con lactancia materna exclusiva, días de vida al reingreso 9.3 +/- 4. Los diagnósticos principales fueron: hiperbilirrubinemia 59%, de los cuales el 90% fue sin incompatibilidad y sin hemólisis, el 99% requirió sólo luminoterapia y un paciente exanguinotrasfusión. El 18% reingresó por mala técnica alimentaría, el 16% (8) con diagnóstico de malformaciones congénitas mayores, dos pacientes fallecieron, constituyendo el 3.9% del total. Conclusiones: Las causas de readmisión hospitalaria en este grupo de RN fueron hiperbilirrubinemia y mala técnica alimentaría; la gravedad de la readmisión se asoció a diagnóstico de infecciones y malformaciones congénitas.

          Introduction: Readmissions in newborns are an important problem, with significant mortality and costly responsibility. These are a particular challenge to pediatricians, because of the non-specificity and lability of neonatal reactions to different conditions, and the variety of diseases that may present very similarly. Objective: To find the causes of readmission, perinatal characteristics and morbidity and mortality in a population of newborns readmitted during the first month of life, and to analyze possible strategies to improve healthcare for the mother and the newborn in joint lodging. Materials and methods: This was a prospective, observational, analytical study including all newborns released from the joint lodging service and readmitted to the Neonatology Department of the Centro Materno Infantil ( San Lorenzo ), in the first 28 days of life, between January 2004 and June 2005. Results: A total of 51 newborns were readmitted. Average maternal age was 24 (range 16-41), 76% had insufficient prenatal check-ups and 30% had just enough (4). Fifty seven percent were gesta 0, 20% gesta 1, and 52% of newborns were delivered by C-section. Average birth weight was 3189g (SD +/-593). Average gestational age was 38 weeks (SD+/-2), 41% were near term and borderline (35-37 weeks). Sixty three percent were male, and 100% had and Apgar of 8, 9. Average age on release was 3 days +/-1, all with exclusive breast feeding. Average age on readmission was 9.3 +/-4. Main diagnoses were hyperbillirrubinemia 59%, 90% of which without incompatibility but without hemolysis, 99% required luminotherapy and one patient required exsanguination/transfusion. Eighteen percent were readmitted for defective feding technique, 16% (8) with a diagnosis of major congenital malformations, two patients died, making up 3.9% of the total. Conclusions: The causes of readmission to hospital in this group of newborns were hyperbillirubinemia and defective feeding technique. The severity of readmission was associated with the diagnosis of infections and congenital malformations.

          Hospital admissions in the first year of life in very preterm infants.

          To analyse hospital readmissions to 1 year in infants < 33 weeks' gestation. Cohort of very preterm infants born in Western Australia. Parental social class, history of asthma, race, gestational age, birthweight, sex, severity of respiratory disease and oxygen requirement at 28 days chronic lung disease (CLD), 36 weeks and term, maternal smoking, cohabitation with siblings, breast-feeding duration and hospital readmissions were recorded prospectively. Data were available for 538 of 560 (96%) infants discharged. Eight died in the first year. Two hundred and twenty-five infants (42%) had 443 readmissions, of which 370 were medical and 73 surgical. Risk factors for medical readmission were Aboriginal race, male sex and CLD. Breast-feeding was protective. Risk factors for surgical admission were male sex, lower gestation, severe hyaline membrane disease, severe CLD and birthweight < 10th centile. Readmission is common after very preterm birth. Risk factors for medical and surgical admission differ with CLD being the only perinatal factor associated with both medical and surgical admission.

            Predictors of hospital readmission of Manitoba newborns within six weeks postbirth discharge: a population-based study.

            To examine the proportion, geographic variation, and predictors of infant hospital readmission within 6 weeks of the postbirth discharge. A cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted of all infants who were born from 1997 through 2001, linkable to the birth mother, and discharged alive from the hospital (N = 68 681) using hospital discharge files in the Canadian province of Manitoba. The following predictors of readmission were examined using logistic regression: preterm, low birth weight, neighborhood income, geographic location (the North, Rural South, and Urban areas of Winnipeg and Brandon), breastfeeding status, length of stay, maternal age, and type of delivery. Using 9 non-Winnipeg regions and 12 Winnipeg subregions, ecologic correlations (1-tailed Spearman) between newborn hospital readmission rates and the following were examined: 1) a region's overall health status, measured by the premature mortality rate (PMR), or death before aged 75 years and 2) a region's socioeconomic risk, using the Socio-Economic Factor Index (SEFI). The proportion of infants who were readmitted to the hospital at least once within 6 weeks of postbirth hospital discharge was 3.95%, with respiratory illness the leading cause (22.3% of readmissions). Risk of readmission was higher for infants who were born preterm (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.80; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.55-2.10), who were of the 3 lowest income quintiles (lowest: AOR: 2.02; 95% CI: 1.77-2.32; low: AOR: 1.48; 95% CI: 1.29-1.71; middle: AOR: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.08-1.47), who resided in the North (AOR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.66-2.07) or Rural South (AOR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.14-1.36), who were not breastfed (AOR: 1.32; 95% CI: 1.20-1.44), whose mother's age was 17 or younger (AOR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.10-1.55), whose mother was 18 to 19 years of age (AOR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.09-144), or who were born by cesarean section (AOR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.19-1.43). Regional readmission rates were correlated with PMR (9 non-Winnipeg regions: r = 0.77 for PMR and r = 0.68 for SEFI; 12 Winnipeg Community Areas: r = 0.49 for PMR and r = 0.73 for SEFI). Income and geography are strongly associated with newborn hospital readmission. Modifiable risk factors include increasing breastfeeding rates, decreasing cesarean section rates, and decreasing adolescent pregnancy rates (or increasing adolescent parental support), but these need additional study to establish causation.

              Consulta del recién nacido en el servicio de urgencia

              Basado en la literatura y en datos estadísticos del Hospital Clínico San Borja Arriarán, se revisan los principales motivos de consulta del recién nacido en el servicio de urgencia. El amplio espectro diagnóstico incluye fenómenos fisiológicos, patologías de sencilla resolución y patologías graves que pueden poner en peligro la vida del recién nacido. Partiendo de los grandes síntomas referidos por los padres: dificultad respiratoria, apnea, ictericia, fiebre, cólicos, vómitos, constipación, sangramiento gastrointestinal y convulsiones, se realiza un diagnóstico diferencial que permita una orientación inicial en el manejo de este grupo etario de alto riesgo. El Objetivo de este artículo es entregar al pediatra general elementos orientadores útiles en el enfrentamiento inicial de un recién nacido que es traído por sus padres o cuidadores al servicio de urgencia
