Resumen:
Objective: To evaluate if the number of admitted extremely preterm (EP)
infants (born before 28 weeks of gestational age) differed in the
neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) of the SafeBoosC-III consortium
during the global lockdown when compared to the corresponding time
period in 2019.
Design: This is a retrospective, observational study. Forty-six out of
79 NICUs (58%) from 17 countries participated. Principal investigators
were asked to report the following information: (1) Total number of EP
infant admissions to their NICU in the 3 months where the lockdown
restrictions were most rigorous during the first phase of the COVID-19
pandemic, (2) Similar EP infant admissions in the corresponding 3 months
of 2019, (3) the level of local restrictions during the lockdown period,
and (4) the local impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the everyday life
of a pregnant woman.
Results: The number of EP infant admissions during the first wave of the
COVID-19 pandemic was 428 compared to 457 in the corresponding 3 months
in 2019 (-6.6%, 95% CI -18.2 to +7.1%, p = 0.33). There were no
statistically significant differences within individual geographic
regions and no significant association between the level of lockdown
restrictions and difference in the number of EP infant admissions. A
post-hoc analysis based on data from the 46 NICUs found a decrease of
10.3%in the total number of NICU admissions (n = 7,499 in 2020 vs. n =
8,362 in 2019).
Conclusion: This ad hoc study did not confirm previous reports of a
major reduction in the number of extremely pretermbirths during the
first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
