Abstract

Purpose: The objectives were to identify the characteristics of neonates with hydrops fetalis, and to identify the risk factors associated with mortality. Methods: A retrospective review of AMC (Asan Medical Center) dataset was performed from January 1990 to June 2009. The characteristics of 71 patients with hydrops fetalis were investigated and they were divided into two groups: the survived group and the expired group. Various perinatal and neonatal factors in two groups were compared to find out risk factors associated with mortality based on univariate analysis, followed by multiple regression analyses (SPSS version 18.0). Results: Of those 71 neonates (average gestational age: 33 weeks, birth weight: 2.6 kg), 38 survived, 33 died, resulting in overall mortality rate of 46.5%. The most common etiology was idiopathic followed by chylothorax, cardiac anomalies, twin-to-twin transfusion, meconium peritonitis, cardiac arrythmias, and congenital infections. Factors that were associated independently with mortality in logistic regression analyses were low 5-minutes Apgar score, hyaline membrane disease and delayed in achieving 50th percentile ideal body weight for appropriate gestational age by 10 days. Conclusion: In this study, 5-minutes Apgar score, hyaline membrane disease and delayed in achieving 50th percentile ideal body weight for appropriate gestational age by 10 days were significant risk factors associated with mortality in hydrops fetalis. Therefore, the risk of death among neonates with hydrops fetalis depends on the illness immediately after birth and severity of hydrops fetalis. Informations from this study may prove useful in prediction of prognosis to neonates with hydrops fetalis.

목적: 태아수종으로 진단된 환아를 대상으로 태아수종의 특성과, 사망률과 연관된 위험 인자를 분석하고자 한다. 방법: 1990년 1월부터 2009년 6월까지 서울아산병원 신생아 중환자실에 입원하여 태아수종을 진단받고 치료한 환아 71명을 대상으로 후향적 의무기록 분석을 시행하여 태아수종아의 특성, 산모의 특성, 태아수종의 원인 등을 조사하였다. 또한 이들 생존군과 사망군의 2군으로 나누어 사망률과 연관된 위험 인자에 대한 분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 전체 71명의 환아(평균 재태연령: 33주, 출생체중: 2.6 kg) 중 생존한 환아의 수는 38명(53.5%), 사망한 환아의 수는 33명(46.5%)으로 나타났다. 태아수종의 원인 중, 비면역성 원인은 총 71례 중 68례(95.8%)로 나타났고, 이 중 특발성이 가장 많았고, 유미흉, 심기형, 쌍생아간 수혈, 태변복막염, 심부정맥, 선천성 감염 순으로 나타났다. 면역성 원인은 총 71례 중 3례(4.2%)로 Rh 부적합증이 2례, ABO 부적합증이 1례로 나타났다. 위험인자의 다변량 분석에서, 낮은 5분 아프가 점수(P=0.001), 유리질막병을 동반한 경우(P=0.030), 그리고 출생 시재태주령 별 50백분위수에 해당하는 표준체중을 10일내 회복하지 못하는 경우(P=0.042)에 사망률이 유의하게 증가하였다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 낮은 5분 아프가 점수, 유리질막병의 동반 그리고 재태주령 별 50백분위수에 해당하는 표준 체중을 10일 내 회복하지 못하는 경우가 태아수종의 사망률을 높이는 유의한 위험인자로 나타났다. 낮은 5분 아프가 점수 및 유리질막병을 동반한 경우는 출생 초기의 상태를 반영하고 표준 체중 회복의 지연은 출생시 태아수종의 심한 정도를 반영하기 때문에, 태아 수종에 이환된 신생아의 경우 출생 초기의 상태와 태아 수종의 정도가 예후 예견에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.
