Abstract

Purpose : With the recent improved survival of extremely low birth weight infants(ELBWI), enteral feeding has become a major issue. This study investigates the effects of early enteral feeding in ELBWI on their morbidity, duration of hospitalization, and mortality. Methods : ELBWI admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Samsung Medical Center from November 1994 to April 2004 who survived more than 14 days were enrolled. ELBWI were divided into two groups : an early feeding group(EF), in which enteral feeding was started within 3 days after birth; and a late feeding group(LF), in which enteral feeding was started beyond 3 days after birth. 80 ELBWI came under EF, and 131 ELBWI under LF. Results : Birth weight and gestational age did not differ between the two groups. In EF, the time to achieve full enteral feeding and the duration of parenteral nutrition were significantly shorter than in LF. The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia was significantly lower in EF, but the incidences of sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and cholestasis were not different between the two groups. There was no difference in the survival rate between the two groups, but the duration of hospitalization was significantly shorter in EF. Conclusion : Early enteral feeding in ELBWI did not increase the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis and sepsis, but rather decreased the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and shortened the duration of hospitalization.

목 적 : 저자들은 출생체중 1,000 g 미만의 초극소저출생체중아에서의 생후 3일 이전에 시작한 조기장관영양의 효과와 부작용에 대해 알아보았다. 방 법 : 1994년 11월부터 2004년 4월까지 본원 신생아 중환자실에 입원한 출생체중 1,000 g 미만의 초극소저출생체중아 총 266례 중 생후 14일까지 생존한 211례의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석 조사하였다. 대상 환아를 조기장관영양(early feeding, EF)군(80례)과 후기장관영양(late feeding, LF)군(131례)으로 분류하여 두 군의 인구학적 및 주산기 인자, 장관영양과 관련된 인자 및 합병증, 사망률에 대해 알아보았다. 결 과 : 인구학적 및 주산기 인자로 재태연령과 출생체중은 각각 EF군 $27^{+1}{\pm}2^{+1}$주, LF군 $27^{+0}{\pm}1^{+6}$주와 EF군 $848{\pm}109g$, LF군 $818{\pm}138g$으로 두 군간에 차이가 없었다. 임신성 고혈압과 호흡곤란증후군은 EF군에서 각각 14%, 69%, LF군에서 28%, 89%로 EF군에서 유의하게 적었으며 EF군에서 연구기간 중 후반기인 2000-2004년에 포함된 환아의 비율이 높았다. 성비, 임신성 당뇨, 자궁 내 성장지연, 산전 스테로이드 투여, 융모양막염의 여부는 두 군간에 차이가 없었다. 장관영양과 관련된 인자로 EF군은 평균 생후 2일에 장관영양을 시작하였고 LF군은 9일에 장관영양을 시작하였다. 완전장관영양 도달시기는 EF군에서 평균 생후 33일, LF군에서 생후 47일로 EF군에서 유의하게 빨랐고 정맥영양 시행기간도 EF군에서 24일, LF군에서 33일로 EF군에서 유의하게 짧았다. 재원기간은 EF군에서 평균 생후 85일, LF군에서 103일로 EF군에서 유의하게 짧았다. 장관영양 불내성의 발생은 EF군에서 적었으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 합병증과 관련된 인자로 기관지폐이형성증의 발생은 EF군에서 53%, LF군에서 71%로 EF군에서 유의하게 적었다. 괴사성 장염(EF군 1%, LF군 5%)과 패혈증(EF군 36%, LF군 46%)은 두 군간 유의한 차이가 없었으며 사망률, 뇌실내출혈, 뇌실주위백질연화증, 미숙아 망막증, 담즙정체증도 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 출생체중 1,000 g 미만의 초극소저출생체중아에서 생후 3일 이전에 시작한 조기장관영양은 괴사성 장염이나 패혈증과 같은 부작용의 증가 없이 완전장관영양 도달시간을 단축하였고 정맥영양 시행기간과 재원기간을 감소시켰으며 기관지폐이형성증의 빈도를 감소시키는 이로운 효과를 보임을 알 수 있었다.
