Sažetak
This paper presents characteristics of preterm births and preterm infants from singleton pregnancies. Methods: The data refer to a 2-year period (2008-2009) and were collected from the birth protocol of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Hospital Split. The study included all mothers with prematurely born infants. Multiple pregnancies, stillborn and malformed newborns were excluded from the study. Results: During the research period, 436 (4.8 %) of all infants (n = 9042) were born as preterm newborns. The caesarean section was performed on 144 (33 %) premature infants. The rate of hypothrophic (11.6 % vs. 9.2 % ; P = 0.113) and hypertrophic (7, 3 % vs. 8.4 % ; P = 0.438) infants did not differ in preterm and term neonates. Ponderal index of preterm infants was lower (2.45 g/cm3 vs. 2.68 g/cm3 ; P < 0.001). Low APGAR score is thirteen times more frequent in the study group (27.5 % vs. 2.1 % ; P < 0.001). Conclusion: The frequency of preterm birth in the Department is within the statistical average of developed countries. Preterm births are associated with higher rate of caesarean section with no difference in the frequency of occurrence of fetal hypotrophy and hypertrophy. In premature infants, ponderal index is significantly lower.
