Abstract Objective: Our objective was to determine the obstetrical risk for spontaneous focal intestinal perforation (FIP) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Methods: Eight mothers delivered infants who underwent laparotomy for FIP between 2001 and 2006 in our hospital. A retrospective case-control study of the eight case mothers and 32 control mothers was conducted. Clinical findings were retrospectively analyzed. Results: There were significant differences in the frequency of oligohydramnios (P<0.01) and velamentous cord insertion (P<0.05) between cases and controls. The 1-min Apgar score was significantly lower in the FIP group than in the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, primigravidity was significantly associated with a risk of FIP. Conclusions: The etiology of FIP may be related to changes in the blood circulation, such as fetal hypoxic-ischemic episodes or disturbance in the umbilical blood flow, during the antepartum and/or intrapartum periods. |
