Abstract:Objective To explore the early pregnancy factors and complications of full-term infants.Methods This study selected 2,733 cases of full-term live-birth newborns in our hospital between January 2010 and December 2015, including 966 cases of early term neonates, 1,506 cases of full term neonates and 261 cases of late term neonates. The basic situation of the pregnant women was compared among the three groups, and the risk factors of early term delivery were analyzed. The basic situation of the newborns was also compared among the three groups and the incidences of neonatal complications were analyzed. Results Multifetal pregnancy, uterine scar,hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy, placental abnormalities, premature rupture of membrane, myoma of uterus, abnormal amniotic fluid, abnormal fetal position, gestational diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, delivery times >1, age >35 years, and spontaneous uterine contractions were the risk factors for early full-term infants (P < 0.05). The incidences of complications in the early term neonates were significantly higher than those of the full term neonates and the late term neonates, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The common complications of the early full-term newborns were pneumonia, anemia and hyperbilirubinemia and infectious diseases. All the complications of neonates were cured after the corresponding treatment. Conclusions Multifetal pregnancy, uterine scar, hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy, abnormal placenta, premature rupture of membrane, myoma of uterus, abnormal amniotic fluid, abnormal fetal position, gestational diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, delivery times >1, age >35 years, and spontaneous unterine contractions may be the risk factors of early full-term infants. Early full-term infants have common complications such as anemia, hyperbilirubinemia and infectious diseases. Measures should be actively taken to reduce the incidences of early term delivery.
