Monitoring of quality indicators in neonatal care: results and analysis

Presents an analysis of the work of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the maternity department of the Osh Interregional Clinical Hospital of the Kyrgyz Republic for the years 2023-2024. The aim of the study was to examine the structure and dynamics of neonatal morbidity based on official reporting data, with a focus on hospital admission frequency, distribution of nosological forms, gestational age, birth weight, and treatment outcomes. The NICU plays a critical role in providing emergency care for newborns in life-threatening conditions. Conducting such an analysis allows for the assessment of the effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions and helps identify priority areas for improving perinatal care. The comparative analysis revealed a significant increase in hospital admissions in 2024, particularly among extremely premature and low birth weight infants. A rise in infectious morbidity, including neonatal pneumonia, was observed, along with an increase in cases requiring respiratory support. Despite a positive trend in survival rates, the neonatal mortality rate remains high, underscoring the need for further enhancement of intensive care methods and antenatal prevention strategies.Based on the findings, recommendations are proposed for optimizing the management of high-risk newborns, strengthening infection control measures, and improving the quality and effectiveness of respiratory support.
