Analysis of congenital pneumonia incidence in newborns from high-risk mothers

Abstract

Objective. To detect the incidence of congenital pneumonia in newborns from mothers with placental insufficiency in combination with premature amniotic fluid discharge
 Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 57 stories of newborn infants and their mothers was carried out. The newborns were divided into 3 groups: group 1 37 newborns from mothers with placental insufficiency and premature amniotic fluid discharge, group 2 9 infants from mothers with premature amniotic fluid discharge, group 3 11 infants born from mothers with placental insufficiency. The obstetric and gynecological history, the presence of extragenital pathology, the peculiarities of the course of pregnancy and childbirth, and the outcomes for newborns were analyzed.
 Results. Congenital pneumonia was more common in newborns from mothers with placental insufficiency and premature amniotic fluid discharge. In newborn infants of the first group, severe asphyxia occurred more often, being a risk factor. At the same time, the identification of markers of the systemic inflammatory reaction did not always reflect the presence of infectious-inflammatory pathology in newborns. In addition, in the presence of inflammation of the fetal part of placenta, in a large number of newborns pathological microflora is detected during microbiological examination.
 Conclusions. As a result of the study, the role of maternal pathology on the development of intrauterine infection and implementation of infection in the early neonatal period was revealed. The obtained data justify the need for pregravid preparation and prevention of perinatal complications in women with placental insufficiency.
