P212 Psychosocial factors affecting the caregivers of pediatric HIV patients in returning for treatment

Abstract

Results Preterm birth occurred in 15.6% (19/122), low birth weight (LBW) in 22.1% (27/122) and small for gestational age fetal weight in 19.7% (24/122) of cases, without significant variation due to the HIV-status (only infected or Aids) or antiretroviral use.Perinatal death occurred in 4.1% (5/122) of the cases. The Apgar score of less than or equal to 7 in the first minute was observed in 7.4% (9/120) and Zidovudine intravenous in prepartum was used in 92.5%(110/120) of cases. After a followup of more than 18 months of post:natal life, vertical transmission (TV) was verified in 6 cases (4.9%; 6/122). Conclusion LBW, small for gestational age fetal weight, preterm birth and perinatal death occurrences were higher than the expected values in this research, indicating the need for preventive actions. Disclosure No significant relationships.
