Aim: To examine the mortality and short-term outcomes of very preterm infants (≤32 weeks’ gestation) at Sanliurfa Training and Research Hospital.Materials and Methods: Very preterm infants hospitalized between September 2017 and February 2019 were retrospectively included in the study. Selected short-term outcomes were bronchopulmonary dysplasia, severe intraventricular hemorrhage, sepsis, periventricular leukomalacia, severe retinopathy of prematurity and necrotizing enterocolitis.Results: Within 18 months period 486 live born very preterm infants were included in the study. The mean birth weight was 1306 ± 459 g and gestational age was 29.1 ± 2.8 weeks. The antenatal steroid administration rate was 30.9%. The mortality rate was 30.5%. In the whole group survival rate without a major neonatal morbidity was 44.2%. The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome was 73.9%, patent ductus arteriosus was 20.4%, intraventricular hemorrhage grade III-IV was 7.6%, bronchopulmonary dysplasia was %16.9, periventricular leukomalacia was 7.6%, late onset sepsis was 42.6%, and culture proven sepsis was 14%, severe retinopathy of prematurity was 5.6%, and necrotizing enterocolitis was 2.1%. Conclusion: The mortality rate is higher than that of Turkey, while short-term morbidity rates are similar to the average in Turkey. The priority for Sanliurfa is to reduce the mortality rate in very preterm infants. Downloads Download data is not yet available. Article Details How to Cite Bozkurt, O., & Yucesoy Bagdiken, E.
