  • Risk Factors Associated with Necrotising Enterocolitis in Very Low Birth Weight Infants in Malaysian Neonatal Intensive Care Units
    O riginal A rticle Singapore Med J 2012; 53(12) : 826 Risk factors associated with necrotising enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants in Malaysian neonatal intensive care units Nem-Yun Boo1, MRCP, FRCPCH, Irene Guat Sim Cheah2, MRCP, FRCPCH; Malaysian National Neonatal Registry Introduction This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in very low birth weight (VLBW; weight < 1,501 g) infants in Malaysian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Methods This was a retrospective study based on data collected in a standardised format for all VLBW infants born in 2007 (n = 3,601) and admitted to 31 NICUs in Malaysian public hospitals. A diagnosis of NEC was made based on clinical, radiological and/or histopathological evidence of stage II or III, according to Bell’s criteria. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the significant risk factors associated with NEC. ResuLts 222 (6.2%) infants developed NEC (stage II, n = 197; stage III, n = 25). 69 (31.3%) infants died (stage II, n = 58; stage III, n = 11). The significant risk factors associated with NEC were: maternal age (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.024, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.003–1.046; p = 0.027), intrapartum antibiotics (OR 0.639, 95% CI 0.421–0.971; p = 0.036), birth weight (OR 0.999, 95% CI 0.998–0.999; p < 0.001), surfactant therapy (OR 1.590, 95% CI 1.170– 2.161; p = 0.003), congenital pneumonia (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.405–2.848; p < 0.001) and indomethacin therapy for the closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (OR 1.821, 95% CI 1.349–2.431; p = 0.001).

    STUDY PROTOCOL EFFECTIVENESS OF KANGAROO CARE EDUCATION PROGRAMME ON MOTHERS, NURSES, AND INFANTS OUTCOMES IN A NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT 8/6/2017 1 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a unit that specializes in the treatment of ill preterm infants. The World Health Organization (WHO) 2013 defined a preterm birth as one where an infant is born alive prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy. Preterm infants are sub-categorised depending on gestational age: extremely preterm (below 28 weeks), extremely preterm (28- <32 weeks), moderately preterm (32-<34 weeks), and late preterm (34-37 weeks) WHO (2013). Generally, preterm or premature infants have a low birth weight (LBW), weighing less than 2500 grams. To achieve a balance of fluids and nutrients, premature infants are placed in an incubator and observed closely until they reach a predetermined weight according to hospital protocol. 1.1.2 Premature infant According to the WHO (2012) Global Action Report on premature births, it is estimated that 15 million infants (1 in 10) are born prematurely each year (that is before 37 weeks of gestation) and this number is escalating. Prematurity is the world's leading cause of newborn deaths and many prematurely surviving babies face the possibility of disability for a lifetime. Complications of premature birth are the dominant cause of death for children under the age of 5, accounting for about 1 million deaths in 2015. Premature birth prevalence ranges from 5 to 18% of all infants born over 184 countries. In Malaysia, based on the National Obstetrics Registry, the incidence of premature births for 14 tertiary care hospitals in 2012 was 11.3%, and this was deemed a serious health issue (New Straits Times, 2014).

  • PRESS RELEASE Malaysia Starts Global “Solidarity Trial”
    PRESS RELEASE Malaysia starts global “Solidarity Trial” - a research effort to test possible treatments for COVID-19 PUTRAJAYA, 6th April 2020 – The “Solidarity Trial”, launched by the World Health Organization (WHO), will see Malaysia’s involvement in an international effort to test several drugs in treating COVID-19. The WHO globally coordinated trial is an unprecedented effort to collect reliable data and compare the safety and effectiveness of four treatment protocols using different combinations of Remdesivir, Lopinavir/Ritonavir, Interferon beta, Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine. The Director General of Health, Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said, MOH has fast-tracked the process to implement the drug trials to treat patients with COVID-19, which will begin soon. The nine MOH hospitals included are Tuanku Fauziah Hospital, Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Pulau Pinang Hospital, Sungai Buloh Hospital, Kuala Lumpur Hospital, Melaka Hospital, Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital, Sarawak General Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital. “The global pandemic is affecting more than 180 countries, and one of these drugs may be our best hope for treating people infected with COVID-19,” said Dr Ying-Ru Lo, the Head of Mission and WHO Representative to Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam and Singapore. “This is our chance, as a global community, to turn the tide against the pandemic. Malaysia will be a valued partner in this trial to evaluate potential treatments that are more effective, and to save lives in the global battle to fight this virus.” The research will be headed by Dr Chow Ting Soo, Infectious Disease (ID) Consultant at Pulau Pinang Hospital with a team comprising of 16 ID physicians and pharmacists as Co-Investigators at the respective MOH hospitals.
