ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MORTALITY RATE AND PROVISION OF THE NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNITS OF THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS OF UKRAINE WITH EQUIPMENT

In the article, results of the study of the relationship between mortality rate and provision of the neonatal intensive care units of the children's hospitals of Ukraine with equipment are given. Calculation of Odds Ratios (OR) is used to assess such a relationship. A number of in-hospital factors associated with increase in mortality rate has been identified, of which the lack of CPAP-devices (OR 6,43), the total number of ventilators per 1 ICU bed being less than 1,0 (OR 5,0), the number of high-class ventilators per 1 ICU bed being less than 1,0 (OR 3,67), the number of neonatal multiparameter monitors per 1 ICU bed being less than 1,0 (OR 3,67), and the number of automated infusion pumps per 1 ICU bed being less than 1,0 (OR 2,27) are the most important.
