Abstract

Purpose : To evaluate the risk factors for hospital readmission during the neonatal period among late preterm infants who were discharged after nursery care. Methods : In this retrospective study, we reviewed medical records of 135 late preterm infants readmitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) during the neonatal period, after discharge from nursery of IL Sin Christian Hospital from January 2003 to December 2008. We compared the risk factors of the hospital readmission group with the control group. Results : The gestational age and birth weight of 135 study infants were $36^{+1}{\pm}0.5$ weeks and $2,718.4{\pm}296.9gm$, respectively. Identified risk factors of hospital readmission were breastfeeding (71.9% vs. 44.4%), short duration of nursery stay ($3.3{\pm}1.6$ days vs. $4.1{\pm}2.0$ days), firstborn (60.0% vs. 45.3%), and maternal pregnancy complication (31.9% vs. 18.8%). Jaundice accounted for the majority of hospital readmissions (83.7%), and the age at hospital readmission was $6.2{\pm}3.6$ postnatal days, mostly at 5-6 postnatal days (40.7%). Identified risk factors of hospital readmission due to jaundice were spontaneous normal vaginal delivery (43.4% vs. 1.8%), younger maternal age ($29.8{\pm}3.4$ yrs vs. $32.1{\pm}4.2$ yrs), and lower maternal pregnancy complication (28.3% vs. 50%). Conclusion : Identified risk factors of hospital readmission were breastfeeding, short duration of nursery stay, firstborn, and maternal pregnancy complication. Jaundice accounted for the majority of hospital readmissions, and the age at hospital readmission was $6.2{\pm}3.6$ postnatal days.

목 적 : 신생아실에서 만삭아에 준한 경과 관찰 후 퇴원한 후기 조산아들의 재입원과 관련된 위험 요인과 재입원 원인을 알고자 연구를 계획하였다. 방 법 : 2003년 1월부터 2008년 12월까지 일신 기독 병원 신생아실에서 만삭아에 준한 경과 관찰 후 퇴원한 후기 조산아들 중 생후 28일 이내에 재입원하였던 135명의 신생아들의 의무 기록지를 후향적으로 조사하였다. 재입원의 위험 요인을 알고자 대조군과 비교 분석하였다. 결 과 : 재입원과 관련된 위험 요인 연구에서 재태주수, 출생 체중, 성별, 분만 방법, 산모의 나이, 교육 정도, 결혼 여부, 진통과 분만 과정상의 합병증은 관련이 없었고, 모유 수유(71.9% vs 44.4%), 짧은 신생아실 경과 관찰 기간($3.3{\pm}1.6$일 vs $4.1{\pm}2.0$일), 초산모(60.0% vs 45.3%)와 임신 합병증이 있었던 경우(31.9% vs 18.8%) 통계적으로 유의하게 재입원율이 높았다. 재입원 시점은 출생 후 평균 $6.2{\pm}3.6$일로, 출생 5-6일 사이에 재입원하는 경우가 40.7%로 가장 많았다. 재입원 시 83.7%가 황달을 주소로 입원하여 가장 흔한 원인이었고, 자연 분만(43.4% vs 1.8%), 산모의 나이가 적은 경우($29.8{\pm}3.4$세 vs $32.1{\pm}4.2$세), 임신과 관련된 합병증 동반이 적은 경우(28.3% vs 50%)가 황달로 인한 재입원과 관련 있었다. 결론 : 후기 조산아들의 재입원과 관련된 위험 요인은 모유 수유, 짧은 신생아실 경과 관찰 기간, 초산모와 임신 합병증이 있었던 경우였고, 재입원 시점은 평균 $6.2{\pm}3.6$일, 가장 흔한 재입원 원인은 황달이었다.
