Abstract

|
|
Forty-four cases of respiratory distress syndrome in the newborn and prematurity who were observed in the nursey and premature room of Ewha Womans´ Univ. Hosp. from Jan. 1967 to Jun. 1975 were analysed clinically.
The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome was about 0.696 and sex ratio (Male: Female) was 7 :4.
According to the type of delivery, its incidence was highest in cesarean section delivery (13.4%).
Common symtoms were cyanosis (59.1%), grunting (50.0%), chest retraction (36.4%) and apnea (31.8%).
The Apgar score at birth was not helpful in predicting which infants would develop respiratory distress syndrome and mortality of infants with high score at birth was significantly decreased f rom those with low score at birth.
More higher fatality rates were observed in those of the lowest birth weight group less than 2, 500gm.
