Neonatology is a relatively new sub-specialty so we aimed to review survival data in the context of advances in neonatal care.
Review of neonatal survival for very low birthweight babies over the last 50 years.
In the data collected from a single tertiary neonatal unit, survival for babies 501-1000 g improved from below 10% in 1959 to over 60% in 2009. Similarly, survival for babies 1001 to 1500 g has improved from approximately 50% to over 90%. During the study period, death due to extreme prematurity or cardiorespiratory problems, namely respiratory distress syndrome, fell from 90% in 1964 to only 45% of neonatal deaths in 2008.
In addition to reporting the remarkable improvement in neonatal survival over this period, we have highlighted items of historical context.
新生儿学是一个相对较新的亚专业,因此我们旨在结合新生儿护理的进展来回顾生存数据。
回顾过去50年极低出生体重儿的新生儿生存情况。
在从单个三级新生儿病房收集的数据中,体重501 - 1000克婴儿的生存率从1959年的低于10%提高到2009年的超过60%。同样,体重1001至1500克婴儿的生存率从约50%提高到超过90%。在研究期间,因极度早产或心肺问题(即呼吸窘迫综合征)导致的死亡从1964年的90%降至2008年新生儿死亡的仅45%。
除了报告这一时期新生儿生存情况的显著改善外,我们还强调了历史背景相关内容。
