Organization and work of the department of catamnesis of clinical perinatal center of the Saratov region

Objective: to examine the catamnesis of infants born with very low and extremely low birth weight, as well as undergoing critical conditions in the early neonatal period. To assess the health status of children observed, recommendations for further rehabilitation and prognosis. Material and Methods. At the department of catamnesis 4373 children were observed (total 21343 admissions), 62% of them were preterm infants. Children with extremely low body weight and very low body weight (157 patients, 20.3%) were evaluated for physical development, somatic and psychoneuro-logical status. Results. Analyzing the structure of morbidity observed in children hematologic violations are revealed in the form of anemia of prematurity moderate and severe degree in 15 patients (11.4%), slowing growth and development 25 (19.4%), respiratory disorders (19 children, 14.5%). In the assessment of physical development, growth disharmony revealed in 20.9%, weight disharmony in 29.4% of patients. Neuro-psychological development corresponded to the postconceptual age at 49.2% of children. Breastfeeding saved in 44.6%, mixed and in vitro were transferred in 55.4%. In a group of children follow-up observations identified numerous pathological conditions and high morbidity, requiring subsequent mandatory correction. Many of the children belong to the Group of infectious diseases patients (28.4%), with lots of somatic pathology (78.1%). A direct impact of the dynamics of body weight during the first months after birth was revealed in figures physical development of a child and the incidence in the future. The most vulnerable preterm infants from multiple pregnancies, small for gestational body weight deficiency which recovers slowly and have them marked lower psychomotor development. Conclusion. Improving rehabilitation technology, previously early steps, the integrated use of various methods and means, phases taking into accountthe stage of the disease process and individual approach to a child significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy.
