摘要
Purpose: The provision of neonatal intensive care to infants born at 23 or 24 weeks' gestation poses medical, surgical and ethical challenges. Gastrointestinal perforation is a well-recognized complication of preterm birth, occurring most often as a result of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP). Given the risk of morbidity and mortality in these 'periviable' infants, this complication may prompt transition from active management to palliative care. In our institution, the surgical care of periviable infants with gut perforation has not been dictated by gestational age. This study reports our outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of integrated neonatal medical and surgical care of all infants born between 23(+0) and 24(+6) weeks' gestation admitted to a tertiary level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) during a 16 year period (2002-2017). Results: A total of 198 periviable neonates (73 born at 23 weeks gestation and 125 born at 24 weeks) were admitted during the 16-year period; most were inborn with only 26 retrieved from regional centers. Twenty-six of these infants developed gut perforation: 14 SIP, 8 NEC, 3 esophageal perforation and one after reduction of an incarcerated inguinal hernia. Twelve (46%) periviable infants with gut perforation survived to discharge home, seven of whom had no/mild disability at 2-3 years corrected gestational age. Of the 198 periviable infants admitted to NICU, 116 (58%) were alive at a corrected gestational age of 2-3 years and 29 of the 56 ( 51%) assessed had mild or no disability. Conclusions: In the setting of combined medical and surgical care in a tertiary level NICU almost half of all periviable infants with a gut perforation survived, many with no/mild disability at 2-3 years corrected gestational age. Rigid protocols that rely on gestational age alone to guide treatment arc not appropriate. These results support the contention that, when possible, extremely preterm infants should be born and cared for in units with combined medical and surgical expertise. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.
