Özet
The records of 45 neonatal deaths in a four year period were reviewed retrospectively. Sixteen patients (35.5%) developed multisystem organ failure (MSOF). The criteria for pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, cardiac and microvascular failures were established. The onset of the first organ involvement was calculated in days prior to death. The earliest organ involved was kidney (14.2 +/- 15.1) followed by microvascular (9.4 +/- 7.6), hematologic (8.4 +/- 10.1), liver (6.8 +/- 6.7), lung (6.3 +/- 6.6) and cardiac (6.0 +/- 8.7) failure. Blood culture analyses revealed 5 patients with culture-positive sepsis. Yeast was the leading septic agent (n = 3) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 2), Pseudomonas sp. (n = 1) and E. coli (n = 1). The first organ involvement was noted at 17.6 +/- 23.2 days. We concluded that the sequence of neonatal MSOF is different from that of adults, yet the inciting events are not clear-cut. Lung, which is the first organ involved in adults, seems to be a lately involved organ in neonates.
