Frequency and Outcome of Retinopathy in Profoundly Preterm Newborns Receiving Specialized Medical Care

Acute otitis media is one of the urgent problems of pediatric otolaryngology. Its relevance is predetermined by the wide spread of the disease, especially among young children, the frequency of prescribing antibiotic therapy and the potential threat of severe complications. Pneumococcus is the most frequent causative agent of acute otitis media. Having introduced pneumococcal vaccination the incidence of acute otitis media has significantly decreased in many countries. The aim of the study was a retrospective analysis of the incidence of acute otitis media according to the Rostov ENT clinic for the period from 2012 to 2018. There is a significant annual increase in the number of children with moderate and severe forms of the disease. In 2018 the proportion of children under 3 years hospitalized with acute otitis media tended to reduce, that fact cannot be regarded as a result of vaccination, since the incidence of acute otitis media is subject to significant spontaneous fluctuations and depends on the epidemiological characteristics of viral respiratory infections.

Purpose. To analyze the incidence, structure and methods of treatment of active retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a modern hightech perinatal center by specialists from the federal ophthalmology clinic.Material and methods. The results of ophthalmological monitoring of 979 premature babies were analyzed. The children’s body weight at birth were 460–2200 g. The gestational age of the children was 22–36 weeks. The children were nursed in the perinatal center “Kaluga Regional Clinical Hospital” from 2021 to 2023. Indications for the treatment were the identification of the 2nd and 3rd stages of active ROP with an unfavorable course, aggressive posterior ROP and ROP of the 1st zone.Results. For the analyzed period, active ROP was registered in 125 children (12.77%), the aggressive posterior ROP was registered in 4 (0.4%) cases. In the structure of morbidity, ROP with a favorable course accounted for 72% of cases (90 children). The proportion of the 2nd and 3rd stages of ROP with an unfavorable course, subject to treatment was 2.4% and 22.4%, respectively, and aggressive posterior ROP was 3.2%. Treatment of active ROP with an unfavorable course was required in 28% of cases. In 2021, among the used treatment methods, the leading place belonged to laser coagulation of the retina — 72.2%. The technique of intravitreal injections of an angiogenesis inhibitor was used in 2022 in 46.2% of cases, and in 2023 it reached 100%. By 2023, the effectiveness of the treatment with achieving regression of ROP was 100% of cases.Conclusion. Modern high-tech capabilities for providing care to premature infants in Perinatal Centers, combined with the use of advanced technologies from specialized ophthalmological centers, allow for timely high-tech treatment of active ROP, which ensures that the incidence of severe, disabling forms of the disease is minimized.

The incidence of early anemia, NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis), retinopathy increases in children born at gestational age 31.6 weeks with ENMT (extremely low birth weight) and small size by gestational age. These diseases against the background of ENMT are severe and often lead to an unfavorable outcome. The incidence of early anemia of prematurity ranges from 16.5 to 91.3% and has an inverse correlation with gestational age and birth weight. Early anemia of prematurity is a hematologic syndrome characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin and/or hematocrit by more than 2 standard deviations from the mean values of hemoglobin and/or hematocrit for a given postnatal age in premature infants, developing in the 3rd to 10th week of life. The average incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis is 2.4:1000 newborns (1 to 10:1000), or about 2.1% (1 to 7%) of all infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units. The incidence of the disease increases with decreasing gestational age of the child at birth. Gradual increase of parenteral nutrition reduces the risk of NEC or death in preterm neonates with ENMT (extremely low birth weight), as well as neonates with antenatal NMT (low birth weight).
