We reviewed 388 very low birthweight infants admitted to this neonatal intensive care unit over a four year period to determine the pattern of neonatal and postneonatal deaths up to age 2 years. Neonatal mortality is no longer an adequate indicator of outcome because deaths arising from perinatal events occur after the first month of life.
我们回顾了在四年期间入住本新生儿重症监护病房的388名极低出生体重儿,以确定直至2岁的新生儿期和新生儿后期死亡模式。由于围产期事件导致的死亡发生在出生后第一个月之后,所以新生儿死亡率已不再是一个充分的预后指标。
