ABSTRACT

Introduction. Transient tachypnea of the newborn (NTT) is characterized by breathing › 60x’ and difficulty breathing. Today is the 1st cause of admission to the NICU, for which we have studied the risk factors and their likelihood to develop NTT. Methods. We included 302 new born from 28 to 42 weeks, admitted in NICU of Medica Sur (01/05 2000 to 30/12 2007), we excluded multiple pregnancies, pulmonary disorders and sepsis. We registered: via birth, infections, diabetes, asthma, rupture of membranes and maternal factors such as age, sex, Apgar score, weight and gestational age and neonatal factors. We identified the association between them and we generated a model by logistic regression to predict the probability of NTT. Results. We analyzed 172 boys and 130 girls, of whom 52% and 48% had NTT respectively. We observed 155 newborns on term, of them 46% developed tachypnea, it was different when we compared them with preterm infants, whose 52% developed NTT. The important risk factors that we found for developing NTT were: number of pregnancy, gestational age and asphyxia. Conclusions. There was an association with: number of gestation, gestational age and asphyxia to develop NTT, however due to the type of population its appropriate to perform a research to analyze each factor with a representative sample of the population.
