“…However, in the study done by C. Dani et al [16] it was observed that there is no significant association with respiratory distress and the sex of the baby. Similar findings were observed by Nagendra K et al, [13] who also concluded that there is no significant difference in neonatal respiratory distress in male and female neonates.…”

“…[12] Similarly, Nagendra K et al also showed that the commonest cause for respiratory distress in neonates was RDS (18.8%) followed by TTNB (14%) and MAS (12.5%). ] 13] However, in the study done by Guyon G et al, commonest cause of distress in newborns was TTN (72%) followed by MAS (61%) and RDS (38%). [14] This could be due to enrolment of relatively more cases of preterms and less number of babies delivered by caesarean section resulting in less number of babies with RD due to TTN in our study.…”

BACKGROUND Respiratory distress is a common problem encountered within the first 48-72 hours of life. It is one of the commonest cause of admission to NICU. So, it is very important to know the aetiology and risk factors associated with development of respiratory distress to provide better management. The aim of the study is to study the aetiology of respiratory distress and the risk factors associated with development of respiratory distress in term newborns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective study of 100 term newborns admitted in our NICU with respiratory distress. General information, history and clinical examination findings of mother and newborn were documented. Time of onset of respiratory distress and the severity of the distress were documented. Severity was assessed using Downe's clinical scoring. X-ray was done at 6 hours in all newborns. Various aetiologies and risk factors associated with respiratory distress were assessed. RESULTS In our study, the most common cause of respiratory distress was transient tachypnoea of newborn seen in 59% cases followed by early onset sepsis 20% cases and meconium aspiration syndrome 17% cases. Majority of newborn had severe distress (42%) followed by moderate distress (35%) and mild distress (23%). The risk factors associated with development of respiratory distress were low socioeconomic status, more than four per vaginal examinations, meconium-stained liquor, caesarean section, low birth weight and male sex of the baby. CONCLUSION Transient tachypnoea of newborn is the most common cause of respiratory distress in term newborns and the risk factors for development of respiratory distress are low socioeconomic status, more than four per vaginal examinations, meconiumstained liquor, caesarean section, low birth weight and male sex of the baby. Early diagnosis and management of respiratory distress in newborn is needed to decrease the severity of the disease and to reduce the mortality.

Despite these advancements, respiratory distress is responsible for high mortality in perinatal period. Kommawar et al in their study observed neonatal mortality of 21.5% attributable to respiratory distress in new borns. 5 ABSTRACT Background: The aim is to study the various risk factors associated with development of severe respiratory distress in the new born. Methods: This was a prospective study of 200 new-borns with respiratory distress. Clinical details, etiology for the respiratory distress, system-wise factors responsible for the distress, severity and duration of respiratory distress, oxygen therapy, type of treatment, mortality, maternal and antenatal risk factors, radiological findings were noted in all the cases and were analysed. Results: Of the 200 cases with respiratory distress, 118 (59%) had severe respiratory distress. 154 cases with distress were of respiratory system in origin out of which 45% (70 out of 154) were due to Meconium aspiration syndrome, 42% (64 out of 154) were due to Respiratory distress syndrome, 12% (18 out of 154) were due to transient tachypnea of new-born and 2% were due to congenital pneumonia. More number of female patients had severe respiratory distress. Mortality was 2.5%. Conclusions: Meconium aspiration syndrome is the most common cause of respiratory distress in new born. Almost 60% of new borns with respiratory distress developed severe respiratory distress who required intensive monitoring. Risk factors like meconium stained liquor, vaginal delivered new borns, preterm gestation age, and female gender of new born were associated with severe respiratory distress in new borns.
