“…The results of this study revealed that the average gestational age of the neonates studied was 34.3±3.7 weeks, with preterm births accounting for 60% and terms accounting for 40 percent, which matched another study by Ferraresi and Arrais [17] and El-Ganainy et al [18].…”

Background: Neonatal thrombosis is a rare disorder usually develops because of underlying conditions in the neonatal period, such as thrombophilia gene mutations, sepsis, congenital heart disease and surgical interventions or intravascular catheters. Objective: The goal is to look at the prevalence of neonatal thrombophilia and its risk factors among neonates admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Patients and methods: A cohort research that took place in neonatal ICUs in Zagazig University Hospitals from January to December 2021. Forty patients were involved. Patients were given a thorough medical history, clinical, neurological examinations, laboratory routine tests and Screening for thrombophilia gene variants by RT-PCR using the Vienna Lab Diagnostics GmbH's (FVL, PTH and MTHFR Strip Assay) ® A kit (Vienna, Austria).Results: Concerning factor V gene mutation (G1691A) there was 6 (15%) had mutations, four of them (10%) showed heterozygous and two (5%) showed homozygous s mutations while 34 (85%) were normal. Nine (22.5%) patients had mutation of prothrombin G2010A gene with five (12.5%) of them were heterozygous and four (10%) were homozygous while 31 (77.5%) were normal. As regard MTHR C677T, 10 (25%) were normal, 23 (57.5%) had heterogeneous and 7 (17.5%) showed homozygous mutations. There was statistically significant increase in D-dimer and the presence of the Factor V (G1691A) and prothrombin G20210A while it was non-significant as regard mutations of MTHFR C677T. Conclusion: Neonatal thrombosis is a critical condition. Its incidence increased with the presence of homozygous thrombophilia gene mutations especially with surgical intervention or venous catheterization.

Background: The first month of life is the most vulnerable period and mortality during this period is an important component of under-5 mortalities. Causes of death in this period are preventable like sepsis, RDS, and asphyxia, while others are not like multiple congenital abnormalities. Objectives: To study the death rate and main causes of death in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the Children Welfare Teaching Hospital (CWTH) through the period (2018-2021). Patients and methods: The death per year for the four years of the study and causes of death were collected retrospectively and analyzed for total death rate and rate for each year, sex distribution, male-to-female ratio, early and late death rate, and main causes of death. Results: it was found that the total death rate is 17.3%, male: female ratio 1.6: 1. The early neonatal death was 54.3% and the late neonatal death was 45.6%. The main causes are congenital anomalies (39%), sepsis (17.4%), prematurity (16.9%), RDS (10.8%), postoperative complications (7.5%), and birth asphyxia (1.9%). Conclusions: The death rate in the NICU / CWTH is still high despite improvement in respiratory care and the use of invasive and noninvasive respiratory support. The death rate because of congenital abnormalities was the main cause of death. Received: Dec,, 2022 Accepted: July, 2023 Published: Oct.2023
