ABSTRACT

Objective: To estimate the morbidity and mortality of live newborns born in a private hospital in Mexico, through admissions to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the neonatal intermediate therapy unit (NITU).
Materials and Methods: A series of cases were carried out of the births of the Hospital Ángeles Lomas (State of Mexico) that have entered the NICU / NITU from 2016 to 2019. All live newborns older than 24 weeks were included. A descriptive analysis was performed calculating means, percentages and standard deviations.
Results: 4,234 newborns were registered, of which 13.7% were premature. 478 (11.3%) newborns were admitted to pathological nurseries, 203 to the NICU (4.8%) and 275 to the NITU (6.5%). The main causes of admission to the NICU were retention of pulmonary fluid (32.5%), hyaline membrane disease (27.6%), and neonatal sepsis (10.3%). The main causes of admission to the NITU were retention of pulmonary fluid (41%), multifactorial hyperbilirubinemia (15.2%) and hyperbilirubinemia due to group incompatibility (11.6%). The neonatal mortality rate was 2.7 out of 1000 live births, the main causes of death were hyaline membrane disease complicated by neonatal sepsis and perinatal asphyxia.
Conclusion: No significant differences were found in the private hospital studied compared to other studies evaluating neonatal morbidity and mortality. The mortality rate in this hospital was lower than that registered countrywide, however the average number of days in the NICU was higher and the prematurity rate slightly higher than that reported in developed countries.
