Background:Very low birth weight(VLBW)infants are the key populations in neonatology,wherein morbidity and mortality remain major challenges.The study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of VLBW infants.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted in West China Second Hospital between January 2016 and December 2021.Neonates with a birth weight of<1500 g were included.Mortality,care practices,and major morbidities were analyzed,and compared with those of previous 7 years(2009-2015).Results:Of the total 1750 VLBW,1386 were infants born with birth weight between 1000-1499 g and 364 infants were born with weight below 1000 g;42.9%(751/1750)required delivery room resuscitation;53.9%(943/1750)received non-invasive ventilation only;38.2%(669/1750)received invasive ventilation;1517 VLBW infants received complete treatment.Among them,60.1%(912/1517)of neonates had neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS),28.7%(436/1517)had bronchopulmo-nary dysplasia(BPD),22.0%(334/1517)had apnea,11.1%(169/1517)had culture-confirmed sepsis,8.4%(128/1517)had pulmonary hemorrhage,7.6%(116/1517)had severe intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH)/periventricular leukomalacia(PVL),5.7%(87/1517)had necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC),and 2.0%(31/1517)had severe retinopathy of prematurity.The total and in-hospital mortality rates were 9.7%(169/1750)and 3.0%(45/1517),respectively.The top three diagnoses of death among those who had received complete treatment were sepsis,NRDS,and NEC.In 2009-2015,1146 VLBW were enrolled and 895 infants received complete treatment.The proportions of apnea,IVH,and IVH stage ≥3/PVL,were higher in 2009-2015 compared with those in 2016-2021,while the proportions of NRDS and BPD were characterized by significant increases in 2016-2021.The total and in-hospital mortality rates were 16.7%(191/1146)and 5.6%(50/895)respectively in 2009-2015.Conclusion:Among VLBW infants born in 2016-2021,the total and in-hospital mortality rates were lower than those of neonates born in 2009-2015.Incidences of NRDS and BPD increased in 2016-2021,which affected the survival rates and long-term prognosis of VLBW.
