We hypothesized that outborn neonates in three rural states would have more frequent adverse short-term outcomes following therapeutic hypothermia (TH).
Multicenter retrospective study comparing outcomes for low (<500 births/year), medium (501-1500 births/year), and high (>1500 births/year) birth volume hospitals in Northern New England. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the combined outcome of death/severe gray matter injury on MRI, controlling for encephalopathy severity and time to initiation of TH.
Death occurred for 35/531 neonates: 15/120 (12%) low, 7/193 (4%) medium, and 13/218 (6%) for high birth volume hospitals (p = 0.008). Severe gray matter injury occurred in 8%, 6% and 7% of low, medium, and high birth volume hospitals, respectively (p = 0.7). Odds of the combined outcome were 4.3-fold higher in low versus high volume hospitals (95% CI = 1.6, 12.1, p = 0.004).
Neonates born in low volume birth hospitals had significantly higher odds of death following treatment with TH.
我们假设三个农村州的外出生新生儿在接受亚低温治疗(TH)后会有更频繁的不良短期结局。
多中心回顾性研究,比较新英格兰北部低(<500例/年)、中(501 - 1500例/年)、高(>1500例/年)出生量医院的结局。多变量逻辑回归评估MRI上死亡/严重灰质损伤的综合结局,控制脑病严重程度和开始TH的时间。
531例新生儿中有35例死亡:低出生量医院15/120例(12%),中出生量医院7/193例(4%),高出生量医院13/218例(6%)(p = 0.008)。低、中、高出生量医院分别有8%、6%和7%发生严重灰质损伤(p = 0.7)。低出生量医院与高出生量医院相比,综合结局的比值比高4.3倍(95%CI = 1.6, 12.1, p = 0.004)。
在低出生量医院出生的新生儿接受TH治疗后死亡几率显著更高。
