Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Duration of hospitalization in low birth weight infants-discharge weight in low birth weight infants. Timepoint: From the time of admission to the discharge of low birth weight babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. Method of measurement: In order to measure the baby's weight at the time of discharge, we will use the scale available in the neonatal intensive care unit, which is of the zyklusmed brand (made in Iran under a German license). In order to determine the accuracy of the weight, its standard of accuracy will be checked by a 1 kg weight. In order to determine the reliability of the weight, it has been done through independent and repeated measurements, in other words, the researcher has weighed a patient several times with the same weight, and if the resulting numbers are equal, it is the reason that the weight has the necessary reliability.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Frequency of neonatal sepsis in low birth weight babies - Frequency of necrotizing enterocolitis in low birth weight neonates- Frequency of premature osteopenia in low birth weight neonates. Timepoint: From the time of admission to the discharge of low birth weight babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. Method of measurement: The criterion of sepsis is a positive blood culture by the BACTEC method (a product of America, Becton Dickinson company) when 3 cc of blood is taken from the neonate and sent to the laboratory of Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd, necrotizing enterocolitis is also based on Clinical criteria (abdominal distension, apnea, milk intolerance and residue) and paraclinical criteria (abdominal imaging) are defined. Prematurity osteopenia is also based on phosphorus index less than 4 and alkaline phosphatase more than 900 at 28 days of birth. which is determined during a blood test taken from the baby.
