Abstract

Respiratory distress in term neonates poses significant challenges in neonatal care, often requiring immediate attention and intervention. Understanding the underlying risk factors and etiology is crucial for effective management and improved outcomes. A retrospective study was conducted at Owaisi Hospital, a tertiary health center in Hyderabad, to analyze cases of respiratory distress among term neonates. Data regarding risk factors, including maternal and neonatal characteristics, as well as the etiological factors contributing to respiratory distress, were collected and analyzed. The majority of newborns were male, comprising 60% of the total, while females made up the remaining 40% with 19% of SGA. In this study, babies normally weigh roughly 2799gms, based on the mean weight of the data. Among the maternal risk factors, 9% experienced PROM, 18% had hypertension, 21% were diagnosed with GDM and 1% had a twin pregnancy. Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) was the most prevalent diagnosis, accounting for respiratory distress in 39% of cases, followed by meconium aspiration syndrome in 19% and birth asphyxia in 11%. The majority of neonates (62%) experienced complete recovery, while 15% succumbed to their condition and 23% were discharged with lingering sequelae. This study sheds light on the diverse risk factors and etiological factors contributing to respiratory distress in term neonates, emphasizing the need for comprehensive assessment and timely interventions to improve immediate outcomes and long‐term prognosis.
