To assess the prevalence and outcomes of spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) in very low birth weight infants.
This cross-sectional study utilized the National Inpatient Sample dataset for the years 2002-2017. All premature infants with birth weight (BW) <1500 g and with gestational age (GA) ≤32 weeks were included. Analyses were repeated after stratifying the population into two BW sub-categories <1000 g and 1000-1499 g. Trend analysis was done using Cochran-Armitage test. Regression analysis was conducted to control for gestational age, race, and sex.
A total of 658,001 infants were included. SIP (n = 10,443, 1.6%) was mostly (81.9%) in the category <1000 g with 89.9% ≤28 weeks of gestation. There was a significant trend for increased SIP over the years (p < 0.001). SIP was associated with increased mortality (aOR = 2.24, CI: 2.04-2.46, p < 0.001).
After controlling for gestational age and other confounders, SIP is associated with increased mortality in premature infants.
评估极低出生体重儿自发性肠穿孔(SIP)的发生率和结局。
本横断面研究使用了 2002 年至 2017 年的国家住院患者样本数据集。所有出生体重(BW)<1500g 且胎龄(GA)≤32 周的早产儿均纳入研究。在将人群分为两个 BW 亚组<1000g 和 1000-1499g 后,再次进行分析。采用 Cochran-Armitage 检验进行趋势分析。采用回归分析控制胎龄、种族和性别。
共纳入 658001 名婴儿。SIP(n=10443,1.6%)主要发生在<1000g 组(81.9%),胎龄 89.9%≤28 周。SIP 的发生率呈显著逐年上升趋势(p<0.001)。SIP 与死亡率升高相关(aOR=2.24,CI:2.04-2.46,p<0.001)。
在控制胎龄和其他混杂因素后,SIP 与早产儿死亡率升高相关。
