主 题:Birth Asphyxia Neonate Risk Factor Togo
摘 要:Background: Birth Asphyxia (BA) is one of the leading causes of neonatal death in developing countries. In Togo, 30.55% of neonatal deaths were related to BA and caused by several risk factors. The purpose of this piece of work is to analyse the antepartum, intrapartum, and foetal risk factors of BA. Methods: This is a case control study, conducted from 1st December 2019 to 28th February 2020 in obstetrics wards and at neonatal intensive care of paediatric ward at the Sylvanus Olympio university teaching hospital (CHU-SO) in Lomé, Togo. Neonates diagnosed with BA (Apgar score th minute) were considered as “cases (N = 200) while neonates born either with normal vaginal delivery or by cesarean section having no abnormality were considered as “control (N = 200). Results: The prevalence rate of BA was 9.13%. Age (p = 0.0391), gravidity (p = 0.0040), type of facility for prenatal follow-up (p 0.0001), use of Long-lasting impregnated mosquito nets (LLIN) (p 0.0001), notion of maternal fever (p 0.0001) and chronic pathology (p 0.0001) were related to occurrence of BA. Significant antepartum risk factors observed were age
