Read More Background: Fungal infections with high morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care unit are usually preceded by colonization. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of fungal colonization, determine the risk factors and health outcome such as any change in the patient's improvement in hospitalized infants of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on all newborns who were hospitalized in Namazee NICU which is the largest neonatal center in Southwestern Iran during the six- month period from January to July 2018. The eye, urine, perineum, nose, throat, umbilicus and blood were sampled within 72 hours following NICU admission and repeated one week later. Each newborn with at least one positive fungi culture from surveillance site was defined as fungal colonization. All newborns were categorized into two groups based on results of fungal colonization; they were evaluated for baseline perinatal and neonatal characteristic data, probable risk factors (such as prior antibiotics, presence of an endotracheal tube and neonatal disease) and health outcomes (cure, improvement or death). Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software (version 22.0). Results: From a total of 105 (37 girls, 68 boys) hospitalized newborns in NICU, forty-eight (45.7%) of them were colonized by Candida spp. which was the only fungus isolated from the cultures. There were significant differences for the level of hemoglobin (p= 0.04) and cardiac diseases (p= 0.04) between the two groups of fungal colonization and non -colonized newborns. One-third of the newborns that had fungal colonization passed away vs. one-tenth without fungal colonization. Conclusion Based on the results, there was a 45.7% rate of fungal colonization in hospitalized newborns in NICU. Hemoglobin level and cardiac diseases were a risk factor for fungal colonization in these patients. The rate of death was approximately three-fold in hospitalized infants with fungal colonization vs. non fungi infected.

Read More Background: Multiple pregnancies are responsible for the increased risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to compare the perinatal outcome between multiple and singleton pregnancies. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. A sample of 50 multiple birth neonates- born in Fatemieh Hospital of Hamadan, Iran in 2015- was selected using simple random sampling. Meanwhile, they were compared with 50 single birth neonates in the same center on gender, gestational age, mean birth weight, Apgar score, the use of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART), delivery method, cause of neonatal admission, duration and short outcome of neonatal hospitalization. The data were collected from the medical files of neonates and their mothers. The data were analyses using SPSS version 16.0 software. Results: In this study, 100 neonates (50 single births and 50 multiple births) were compared. The mean gestational age and mean birth weight of multiple births were lower than that of single births (P<0.05). The frequency of low birth weight was 4%, 95.5%, and 100% among the single births, twins, and triplets, respectively. A significant difference was also found between multiple and single births on 1-Minute and 5-Minute mean Apgar scores, neonatal hospitalization after birth, hyperbilirubinemia, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), the need for mechanical ventilator, antibiotics intake and phototherapy (P<0.05). Frequency of gestational diabetes and preeclampsia were greater in multiple pregnancies than single ones; however, the difference was not significant (P>0.05). A significant difference was found on the frequency of in vitro fertilization (IVF) method, rate of cesarean section and preterm delivery (P<0.05). Conclusion: In this study, multiple pregnancies were associated with maternal complications including preterm delivery and the increased cesarean section rate, and neonatal complications such as low birth weight, prematurity and increased rate of neonatal hospitalization that increases risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality.
