To assess pneumothorax prevalence in neonates across gestational age (GA) categories, identify associated variables, and examine the impact of bubble CPAP (b-CPAP) implementation.
A cohort of 58,706 infants born at three hospitals over six years was analyzed, grouped by GA: ≥35 weeks, 29-34 weeks, and ≤28 weeks. Pneumothorax cases were matched with controls, and prevalence before and after b-CPAP adoption was compared.
Pneumothorax occurred in 310 infants (0.53%): 0.39% in ≥35 weeks, 4.0% in 29-34 weeks, and 4.6% in ≤28 weeks GA. Most cases occurred within 24 hours of birth, especially in ≥35 weeks (76%). In the ≥35-week group, pneumothorax was associated with male sex, chorioamnionitis, and delivery room CPAP. In the 29-34-week group, it was linked to small for gestational age, maternal diabetes, and surfactant use. In ≤28-week infants, delivery room intubation was the primary risk factor. Pneumothorax prevalence in non-intubated infants was unchanged after b-CPAP implementation (0.35% vs. 0.41%; aOR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.62-1.16; P = 0.35).
Delivery room interventions, not NICU b-CPAP use, were associated with neonatal pneumothorax.
评估不同胎龄(GA)新生儿气胸的患病率,确定相关变量,并研究实施气泡式持续气道正压通气(b-CPAP)的影响。
对6年内在3家医院出生的58706例婴儿进行队列分析,按GA分组:≥35周、29 - 34周和≤28周。将气胸病例与对照组进行匹配,并比较采用b-CPAP前后的患病率。
310例婴儿发生气胸(0.53%):≥35周组为0.39%,29 - 34周组为4.0%,≤28周GA组为4.6%。大多数病例发生在出生后24小时内,尤其是≥35周组(76%)。在≥35周组,气胸与男性、绒毛膜羊膜炎和产房持续气道正压通气有关。在29 - 34周组,与小于胎龄、母亲糖尿病和使用表面活性剂有关。在≤28周婴儿中,产房插管是主要危险因素。实施b-CPAP后,非插管婴儿的气胸患病率无变化(0.35%对0.41%;校正比值比 = 0.85,95%置信区间:0.62 - 1.16;P = 0.35)。
与新生儿气胸相关的是产房干预措施,而非新生儿重症监护病房使用b-CPAP。
