Analysis of the Relationship between Neonatal Risk Factors and Adverse Events in the Transfer of Operational Patients to the Neonatology Unit at RSCM

Abstract

Introduction: Transport of neonates from the neonatology unit to the operating room and vice versa carries a high risk of adverse events (KTD). However, there have been no detailed studies studying this. This study aims to determine the risk factors that play a role in the occurrence of adverse events during perioperative transfer of neonates. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at RSUPN dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo. Neonates who met the inclusion criteria and the exclusion criteria were included in this study. Risk factors and adverse event profiles were collected from the study subjects. Analysis was carried out using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses. This study was approved by RSUPN dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo. Results: A total of 87 adverse events were recorded in the 56 neonates who were subjects in this study. Fifty one point seventy nine percent of the subjects were female, 48.21% of the subjects were premature, 58.93% had low birth weight, with an average birth weight of 2,138 grams. The most common adverse event features were desaturation, covering 71.43% of the study subjects. There is a significant association between invasive respiratory support and hypothermia (OR = 0.052; 95% CI = 0.005 – 0.506). There is a significant association between invasive respiratory support and medical device adverse events (OR = 0.175; 95% CI = 0.043 – 0.707). Invasive respiratory support is the factor that plays the most role in medical device adverse events based on multivariate analysis (aOR = 0.023; 95% CI = 0.054–0.995). Conclusion: Prematurity, LBW, and congenital abnormalities were not associated with adverse events. Meanwhile, the use of invasive respiratory support is associated with hypothermia and medical device adverse events in neonatology unit surgery transfer patients.
