GOMEZ-GOMEZ, Manuel et al. Mortality Risk Factors in the Child of a Toxemic Mother. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2004, vol.140, n.1, pp.33-45. ISSN 2696-1288.

Objective. To determine risk factors of mortality in the infant of a toxemic mother. Material and Methods. A case-controls study, single products only, of 28-42 weeks of gestation; cases were either stillborn and neonatal deaths. Where controls were survivors. Results. There were 57 cases and 114 controls. Significant risk factors were: eclampsia (OR= 4.25, 95%CI 1.76-10.39, p =0.0002), placental detachment (OR = 8.13,95%CL 2.29-31.4, p= 0.00007), general anesthesia (OR= 5.32, 95%CI 1.74-16.51, p=0.0005), respiratory distress syndrome (OR= 23.68, 95%CI 3.31-478 p= 0.00004), mechanic ventilation (OR= 334, 95%CI 42.63-7084, p= 0.000000001), peri-intraventricular hemorrhage (OR = 64.57, 95%CI 8.36-1361, p= 0.0000001), acute renal failure (OR=2613, 95%CI 5.21-177, p=0.0000002) and pulmonary hemorrhage (OR= 8.40, 95%CL 2.71-27.11, p= 0.000006). We observed as protective factors: high maternal educational level (OR=0.110, 95%CI 0.01-0.66, p= 0.02), intrauterine malnutrition (OR= 0.39, 95%CL 0.18-0.84, p= 0.008) and transient tachypnea of the newborn (OR= 0.021, 95%CI0.00-0.15,p= 0.00000001). Conclusions. We found as maternal risk factors: eclampsia; premature placental detachment; general anesthesia, and maternal death, in the newborns they were respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation and peri-intraventricular hemorrhage. The finding of protection factorsis unteresting.
