Risk of early onset pneumonia in neonates with abnormal gastric aspirate
Keywords:
gastric aspirate, early-onset neonatal pneumonia
Abstract
Background Early onset neonatal pneumonia is the risk factorfor neonatal sepsis that increases risk for neonatal deaths.
Recognition, prevention, and treatment of this problem is major
factors in the managemant of high risk neonates. Analysis of
gastric aspirate, collected soon after birth is a useful screening
test for predicting pneumonia.
Objective To evaluate the risk of early onset of neonatal
pneumonia in neonates with abnormal gastric aspirate.
Methods A case control study was done on infants with early
onset neonatal pneumonia born in Sanglah Hospital during the
period of July 2004 until November 2005. The control group
consisted of high risk infants without early onset pneumonia.
Multiple logistic regressions was performed to determine the
confounding effects of multiple variables that were considered as
risk factors for early-onset neonatal pneumonia.
Results Forty-five infants with early onset neonatal pneumonia
were recruited. Multivariate analysis showed that abnormal gastric
aspirate and low APGAR score were significant factors associated
with early-onset of neonatal pneumonia with OR 4.05 (95%CI
1.26;13,02), P=0.019, and OR 6.95 (95%CI 2.45;19.77),
P<0.0001, respectively.
Conclusion Abnormal gastric aspirate and low APGAR score are
risk factors for early onset neonatal pneumonia in high risk infants.
