Abstract
Background:Respiratory distress is one of the commonest disorder encountered leading to hospital admission in neonates.Clinical presentation of
respiratory distress in neonates include 2 or more of the following features- respiratory rate >=60/min, chest retractions, grunting, nasal aring,
cyanosis. Early recognition and appropriate specic therapy of neonatal respiratory distress has impressive results. Aims and objectives: This
study aimed to record risk factors for respiratory distress in neonates admitted in SNCU and NICU in a tertiary care medical college hospital.
Material and Methods: The observational descriptive study included one hundred (100) newborns admitted in NICU and SNCU with clinical
features of respiratory distress during 1 year study period in Malda Medical College and Hospital. Results: 68% neonates presented within 24 hrs
of age. The occurrence of respiratory distress was high in male babies, 64% compared with female 36%.Several risk factors were associated with
neonatal respiratory distress. Teenage pregnancy(44%), maternal anemia(73%), PIH (17%), antenatal fever(5%), APH (4%), GDM(8%), Thyroid
disorders(11%) are present in varying degrees in mothers.RDS was the most common etiology, 32% followed by MAS(17%), TTNB(15%),
CHD(15%), pneumonia(9%), birth asphyxia (7%), syndromic(2%).8 ELBWand 9 VLBWnewborns were all suffered from RDS.21 neonates born
to teenage pregnancy developed RDS. Among preterm babies, RDS was the most common etiology, among term babies, TTNB was the
commonest. Conclusion: Respiratory distress is one of the commonest cause of SNCU and NICU admission. RDS is common in preterm babies
whereas TTNB is more common in term babies.Male gender, teenage pregnancy, low birth weight, gestational age, antenatal illness like
PIH,GDM, thyroid disorders are the risk factors for neonatal respiratory distress.
