Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study focuses on understanding the conditions that affect newborn health and survival from pregnancy to the first weeks of life at the Isidro Ayora Hospital. The investigators will review data from 2008 to 2022 to identify key factors that may contribute to complications, help improve medical care, and reduce risks for newborns. By doing so, we aim to provide better support to families, healthcare providers, and ensure safer births.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This research investigates the impact of various perinatal conditions-such as maternal health, prenatal complications, delivery methods, and neonatal management-on morbidity and mortality rates in newborns treated at the Isidro Ayora Obstetric-Gynecologic Hospital. Using a retrospective cohort design, the study analyzes data from 2008 to 2022 to identify patterns and correlations between perinatal factors and neonatal outcomes, aiming to inform evidence-based clinical practices and enhance neonatal care protocols.

Key aspects include evaluating the influence of gestational age, birth weight, maternal comorbidities (e.g., hypertension, diabetes), and obstetric complications on the health of neonates. Outcomes of interest include NICU admissions, length of hospital stay, and incidence of conditions such as respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, and neonatal mortality. Findings will contribute to improving resource allocation, optimizing care strategies, and potentially guiding policy decisions to reduce adverse neonatal outcomes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Infant, Premature

The "Infant, Premature" group includes neonates born before 37 weeks of gestation at the Isidro Ayora Obstetric-Gynecologic Hospital. This cohort is particularly vulnerable to a range of complications, including respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, and infections, which are major contributors to neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Infant, Premature

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention is distinct as it focuses specifically on observational monitoring and evaluation of neonatal outcomes without applying a therapeutic or procedural treatment. Unlike other interventional studies, the emphasis is on analyzing standard care practices, risk factor exposures (e.g., prematurity, maternal complications), and their impact on neonatal morbidity and mortality. The intervention involves systematic data collection and longitudinal follow-up to identify patterns and associations, rather than introducing new clinical techniques or treatment

Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality Cohort

This cohort includes all live-born neonates delivered at the Isidro Ayora Obstetric-Gynecologic Hospital between January 2008 and December 2022. The study focuses on evaluating the influence of various perinatal and neonatal conditions on morbidity and mortality outcomes. Interventions of interest include obstetric management strategies (e.g., use of antenatal corticosteroids, mode of delivery), neonatal resuscitation protocols, NICU admission criteria, and the implementation of specific neonatal care practices such as early surfactant administration, infection control measures, and nutritional support.
