XXXX and pneumothorax are risk factors for mortality in persistent pulmonary @entity101 of the newborn in Thai neonates.

@entity1 @entity204 @entity101 @entity810
OBJECTIVES: To describe the clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and complications, and identify the mortality risk factors, of @entity1 with short-term persistent pulmonary @entity101 of the newborn (PPHN). METHODS: The clinical data of @entity1 diagnosed with PPHN at Hat Yai Hospital from January 2010 to February 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed to assess factors associated with mortality. RESULTS: The records of 119 @entity1 were analyzed. Of these, 47 died giving an in-hospital mortality rate of 39.5%. The prevalence of PPHN (based on inborn births) was 2.8 per 1000 live births. The mean gestational age and birth weight were 39.1        1.6 weeks and 3044        563   g, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that pneumothorax [adjusted hazard ratio (HR)   =   2.07 (95% CI 1.09-3.93)] and @entity810 [adjusted HR   =   2.99 (95% CI 1.59-5.61)] were factors associated independently with an increased risk for @entity204 , while @entity1 who received total parenteral nutrition [adjusted HR   =   0.22 (95% CI 0.10-0.50)] had lower mortality. CONCLUSION: A high mortality rate of PPHN was observed in this study. Significantly higher mortality was noted in @entity1 complicated with pneumothorax and @entity810 .
