abstract
METHODS: Descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal study. We reviewed medical records of the Maternity Unit and the Intensive Neonatal Care Unit from October 2014 to September 2015. We included newborns of ≤1 000g who were admitted to the Intensive Neonatal Care Unit. RESULTS: Of 5462 births, 74 (1.35%25) were preterm newborns of ≤1 000g. Thirty one of them died during labor or did not received neonatal resuscitation care due to the non viability consideration. The remaining 43 were admitted to the Intensive Neonatal Care Unit, 24 of them were discharged alive, with a 55.8%25 survival rate. CONCLUSION: In our hospital both the prematurity incidence of ≤1000g newborns and the survival rates for the cases that are admitted to the Intensive Neonatal Care Unit are equivalent to the one mentioned in the foreign literature. © 2016, Asociacion Mexicana de Ginecologia y Obstetricia.
