“…It has been stated that severity of neonatal illness and long term sequelae would worsen by the trauma of vaginal delivery and the immediate postnatal treatment (1,30). In the present study we found that hemoglobine did not increase postnatally in Group B infants with fetal pH < 7.20 in contrast to the non-acidotic groups.…”

“…These included the obstetric factors present before delivery and extra information on ventilation and other complications after birth (table IV). We too had thought that antenatal transfer of our patients had improved their outcome; certainly the crude mortalities for the 10) 9 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) 7 (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) inborn, outborn, and in utero transfer groups suggested that infants transferred after birth had a higher mortality. Closer examination of 1-70) 07(02-10) 09(02-10) our study populations, however, showed that the outborn babies )-7-5) 7-2(6-7-7-4) 7-2(6-6-7-3) suypp were more immature and had a lower birth weight, and when these factors were taken into account there was no difference in the study populations.…”

From December 1983 to June 1985, 162 infants of less than 32 weeks' gestation or weighing less than 1500 g, or both, were cared for at the regional neonatal intensive care unit in Leeds. Of the 162, 64 (40%) were born in the unit because their mothers had received antenatal care there, 58 (36%) were born in another hospital and subsequently transferred, and 40 (25%) were transferred in utero because of potential complications. The overall mortalities for each group were 14%, 38%, and 18% respectively. These differences were significant, but when they were corrected for gestation, birth weight, and mode of delivery there was no difference in either the mortality or the incidence of intraventricular haemorrhage in the three study populations.Although there seem to be no distinct advantages of in utero transfer in terms of mortality and morbidity, there are other psychological and emotional advantages. We analysed the mortality and short term neurological outcome of 162 infants with very low birth weight who were either inborn, outborn, or transferred in utero to a large regional perinatal centre.

“…The large proportion of the infants in the present study and in the 1970 British Births study (Chamberlain et al 1975) who did not have their temperature recorded at all is worrying in view of the above evidence of the narrow limits of thermoneutral environment for VLBW infants. Worrying too are the reports that many of the sick, VLBW infants transported to special care baby units from elsewhere arrive with very low temperatures (Gamsu, personal communi-cation;Blake et al 1975), particularly since transport of such infants is likely to become more frequent with centralisation of care.…”

SUMMARY The neonatal mortality of 692 liveborn infants with birthweights of 2000g or less born in south‐east London was studied. They represented 98 per cent of all the liveborn infants of this birthweight born and admitted to hospitals in the study area. The over‐all neonatal mortality rate was 303.5 per 1000 live births. The following factors were shown to have significant and independent associations with mortality: birthweight; a history of early bleeding in the mother; hour of birth; condition of the infant assessed after birth; temperature of the infant on admission to the special care unit; and the presence of respiratory disease. Implications for the organisation of neonatal care are discussed. RÉSUMÉ Nourrissons de très faible poids de naissance. I: facteurs périnataux influençant le temps de survie La mortalité néonatale a été étudiée chez 692 enfants nés vivant dans le Sud Est de Londres, avec des poids de naissance de 2000g ou moins. Ils représentaient 98 pour cent de tous les nourrissons nés vivants avec ce poids de naissance et admis dans les hôpitaux de la région étudiée. La mortalité néo‐natale globale fut de 303,5 pour 1000 naissances vivantes. Les facteurs suivants sont apparus en association significative et indépendante avec la mortalité: le poids de naissance; des antécédents d'hémorragies chez la mère; l'heure de naissance, la condition du nourrisson après la naissance, sa température lors de l'admission pour soin; et la présence d'affections respiratoires. Les conséquences sur l'organisation des soins néo‐nataux sont discutées. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Kinder mit sehr niedrigem Geburtsgewicht. I: perinatale Faktoren, die die Überlebenschance beeinträchtigten Es wurde eine Untersuchung der Neugeborenensterblichkeit an 692 lebendgeborenen Kindern mit einem Geburtsgewicht von 2000g oder weniger im Raume Südost London durchgeführt. Sie stellten 98 Prozent aller lebendgeborenen Kinder mit diesem Geburtsgewicht dar, die in dem Untersuchungsgebiet in Krankenhäusern aufgenommen wurden. Die allgemeine Neugeborensterblichkeitsrate betrug 303.5 auf 1000 Lebendgeburten. Folgende Faktoren hatten einen nachweisbaren, voneinander unabhängigen Einfluss auf die Mortalität: Geburtswicht, Blutungen in der Anamnese der Mutter, Zustand des Kindes nach der Geburt, Körpertemperatur des Kindes bei der Aufnahme und das Vorliegen einer Erkrankung des Respirationstraktes. Die Notwendigkeit einer Organisation der Neugeborenenpflege wird diskutiert. RESUMEN Lactantes con un peso de nacimiento muy bajo. I: factores perinatales que afectan a la supervivencia La mortalidad neonatal de 692 niños nacidos vivos con peso de nacimiento de 2.000g o menos nacidos en el Sudeste de Londres son objeto de estudio. Representan el 98 por ciento de todos los lactantes nacidos vivos con este peso de nacimiento e ingresados en los hospitales del área estudiada. La mortalidad neonatal global fue de 303,5 por 1.000 nacidos vivos. Se vio que los siguientes factores tenían asociaciones significativas e independientes con la mortalidad: peso de nacimi...
