AI Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study on 1982 premature births conducted between 1966 and 1977 found that 9.4% were stillborn, with 94% of postnatal deaths occurring within the first week of life.
- Perinatal mortality was 27%, and the leading cause of death was immaturity at 25%, followed by respiratory distress syndrome at 16%, while 31% of cases had unknown causes.
- Common complications among premature infants included icterus neonatorum (25.3%), aspiration (21.3%), and asphyxia (8.9%).
Article Abstract
During a period from 1966 to 1977 a retrospective study on 1982 premature births was conducted. 9,4% of the premature births were dead born; from the births, who died in the postnatal period, 94% died within the first 7 days, perinatal mortality was 27%. Most common cause of death was immaturity (25%), followed by respiratory distress syndrome (16%), in 31% cause of death was unknown. The most common complications of the immature births were icterus neonatorum (25,3%), aspiration (21,3%) and asphyxia (8,9%).

The tolerance and dynamic regulation of the maternal immune system during pregnancy are pivotal for ensuring fetal health. Immune cell subsets play a complex and crucial role in this process, closely linked to the neonatal health status. Despite recognizing the significance of dysregulation in the quantity and activity of immune cells in neonatal disease occurrence, their specific roles remain elusive, resulting in a dearth of clinically viable interventions for immune-mediated neonatal diseases.

Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where 40% of global neonatal deaths occur. We identified and combined demographic, clinical, and psychosocial correlates of PTB among Kenyan women to develop a risk score.
Methods: We used data from a prospective study enrolling HIV-negative women from 20 antenatal clinics in Western Kenya (NCT03070600).
