ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe morbidity in low birth weight and normal weight infants and their association with risk factors.
Material and methods: A retrospective and comparative, observational study was made at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital Español de México. Maternal variables (history of abortions, type of complications and intergeneric period) and neonate (birth weight, gender, gestational age, intrauterine growth restriction, respiratory distress, Apgar and type of complications) were evaluated. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analysis were performed with the normal weight and low weight groups.
Results: We registered 248 newborns: 53.6% male and 46.4% female were included. In 14.5% with low weight and 33.1% presented respiratory difficulty. 63.0% of the mothers had complications during pregnancy. Infants with respiratory distress had an OR of 3.85 (CI 95% 1.09-13.55, p = 0.036) and an intrauterine restriction of OR of 861.99 (CI 95% 86.90-8550.32, p = 0.000).
Conclusion: Low birth weight is associated with the presence of respiratory distress and intrauterine restriction.
